@Thoralmir: Well, he has girl Minnie, his neice & nephews (who play his kids in the Christmas Carol special), friends Donald & Daisy--in whose yard Chip & Dale have their tree--and Goofy, so...
@DTVzone I can vouch for that too, as my family taped that same broadcast. Of course, the NBC telecasts predate the Magical World of Disney sequences as the film was first aired on TV in 1985, according to another YouTuber who's got portions of that broadcast as well.
Question: Was Mickey's Christmas Carol done before or after the Ducktales' series was on the air? It would seem ironical for one of them not to have been inspired by the other because of Scrooge McDuck being in both.
@Rawk4Life Mickey's Christmas Carol debuted theatrically in 1983...several years before Duck Tales. Scrooge McDuck indeed started out in comic books in the 40's and made his first animated appearance in the short "Scrooge McDuck and Money" (1967).
This is one of the rare version where the opening titles say "Walt Disney Pictures Present" since the DVD version say "Walt Disney Productions Presents" Just an obscure trivia.
OMG!!!! I remember watching this over and over and over again when I was a kid! I remember watching this even during the summer, because I liked it so much!
Does anyone know the name of the opening song for the Christmas carol part? My sister and I have been trying to find it for several years. Thanks for posting this. A long-time favorite in my family.
Oh my gosh I remember my parents taped this for me as a kid & my brother & I watched it every year....I'm so glad to see this has surfaced on youtube!! Thanks!
@ HPF I was looking for that one too. It might not have been in the debut '89 showing but that was a great skit. I loved the red underpants. These are all great too. Man, to be that young again.... Well, I feel like I am anyways.
Chip and Dale Christmas was always one of my all time fav. Mickey mouse stories! What a classic! The 80's and early 90's were the best childhood memories for showing Disney animation.. I miss those days!
Thanks for posting. I remember my mom taping this when I was 7 or 8. We still have the tape, too. It has my handwriting on it. This along with the Rankin Bass cartoons were a tradition for a long time, along with Home Alone and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
They aired this several times during the 80's, sometimes with completely different cartoons. This particular incarnation aired in 1989, promoting "The Little Mermaid". It could have very well aired in late November, as I don't know the exact airdate.
My mom taped it off of the TV in 1986 (she used to make labels for the old black cases on the typewriter and always dated them.) So yes, many airings, indeed, probably even for this WWoD version. I could swear I saw it as a short with no extra cartoons before a theater screening of Pinocchio in the 80s, too.
We used to watch this video all the time when we were little. I remember all my cousins would be at my house for Christmas Eve, and we'd do a huge sleep over party and drive the parents crazy! I was lucky to find it on video!!! But thank you for posting this. It brought back a lot of great memories!
I love the internet. I haven't seen this since I was a teenager. You can't buy it. It just occured to me this morning that someone might've posted it to youtube.
I have the film and it was included on the DVD "Classic Holiday Stories" along with "Pluto's Christmas Tree" (shown on here) and "The Small One". This one does not have the 1980 BV logo except the DVD does have that logo.

@HPFreak4Life1708 I remember that one. I had this whole thing taped on VHS, but before that, a bit of the Goofy one, namely the last few minutes.
It's all gone now, along with most of my own hopes and dreams, replaced by cynicism and a sharp hostility toward society in a whole. And porn.
Found the dvd, though, with the donkey!

If this aired in 1989, why does it still have the 1985 stereo bug? :) (Yes I know they reused the print from the first year NBC ran it...)

Based on research, NBC first ran Mickey's Christmas from 1984-1990...so that "IN STEREO" must have been from the second year they ran it.
