You call this a cartoon?, Its a capitalistic infomercial for indoctrination.
They should teach Children to think outside a Capitalistic mindset first, and then accept the playing rules of market and capitalism and venture forth.
Speaking of Capitalism, is Scrooge truly a good role model for this?
Having read the comics from when Carl Barks invented him, he is what a DnD player would call Lawfully Evil in the Capitalistic market, driving natives from settlements and exploitation among his work.
@BitterBurst Isn't that something to learn? That he's concerned too much about money? Don Rosa worked with this topic, for example. And yes, this may be outdated when it comes to the mindset that capitalism solves all the problems. And even on that topic it still mentions that it's important to keep up social security by paying taxes.
Sure, knowing the way to handle money is useful when you live in a capitalistic world, like we are forced to live in. And its not we can break out from the world, our natural learned skills is not taught from our parents, rather we have credit card management and eating too much. I say, we should teach our kids to remember that we dont have to live like we do, that they can shape a better future.
@BitterBurst I'm okay with searching for different models of living and: Yes, I read comics with Scrooge. Most of them over fifteen years ago. Last buy was "Life and times of Scrooge McDuck" to have all those stories together in one book.
@BitterBurst To me he is kind of a role model. Why? Because the medium comic can show him from different angles. He is rich and powerful but he also is pretty lonely. Even as a child I saw him as the two sided medal every good fictional character is. I liked his good parts but tried to stay away from what made him sad. You saw the music video I faved lately: 'Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck' Tribute?
You said: "Even as a child I saw him as the two sided medal every good fictional character is. I liked his good parts but tried to stay away from what made him sad."
Does " tried to stay away from what made him sad" not mean the same as "ignore the bad side of coin you will misjudge the Character" ??
You will have to explain why you think he is a good role model again, but I cant allow you to judge him on the things you like only.
At least I think we can agree fully that Scrooge mcDuck is one of most awesome adventurers ever invented by man, he has his faults, but he is still a duck worth respect.
"Money's got to circulate". Trouble is that more than 95% percent of what is circulating, is debt. Living on borowed time the fiat curencies all based on the USD of the federal reserve (a private corporation), will fall to currency that cant be printed by a centeral authority. If the government cant be responsible with their management of economics (because theyre owned by the Fed), then people will take finacial power into their own hands. Just get BITCOIN. It's freedom from the greedy fatcats.
@VanFernel "might be a stupid question, but what exactly is bitcoin?"
watch?v=Um63OQz3bjo
Note: This is not a technicaly accurate explaination, but a functional explaination. In reality, bitcoins are stored in the network rather than sent over it and not actually stored in your wallet. Your wallet rather stores your 'public key' a cryptographic signature used by the network to varify against the ledger, the public record of all the transactions that have been accounted for against your wallet.
I remember watching this when I was little. I got so used to Alan Young as Uncle Scrooge and Russi Taylor as the boys in DuckTales, I'd nearly forgotten about how they sounded before. Too bad the Feds have forgotten about budgeting.
When I watch this old children's cartoon explain how simple the concept of budgeting is, and then watch our current leaders fail in every way to understand and pass even the most basic budgets, I don't know whether to laugh...or cry.
I have no plans on becoming a teacher, but if I were teaching economics, I'd defiantly show this cartoon! Firstly for its educational value, secondly because its a classic Disney cartoon, and classic Disney cartoons are awesome!
The song about money circulating has been going around in my brain since I saw this cartoon when I was a kid. Isn't it funny that I've remembered this song for soooo long!
"contrary to the popular opinion, there is absolutely no shortage of gold which can be used as money, nor would the supply of gold impeded economic growth to any degree because it is not the supply of money that creates economic growth, but the creation of capital wealth which utilizes the exchange nature of gold money that creates economic growth." Ron Paul.
Dude, you're talking about a kids cartoon. Most kids wouldn't be caught dead sitting and listening to someone preach about taxes and regulations and money and junk. Given their audience I think this is pretty clever and fun way to keep them interested. Let them worry about all the other shit when they grow up and can comprehend it all better.
@dino65dino; a few issues with your analysis: 1. every bank in the world practices fractional reserve lending, not just the Fed; 2. You're the first of your ilk I've met who hates paper money. Most of you would be happy on the gold standard; 3. The gold standard is a joke, because a) gold has no intrinsic value; b) the gold standard fixes your money supply, hobbling your exports; c) there isn't enough gold in the world, let alone the US, to back the dollar, and d) we're running out of new gold
@wratched 1. I never said the Fed held a monopoly on fractional reserve lending, and traditional Muslim banks DO NOT use fractional reserve lending. 2. I never said I hate paper money. Besides, what is my "ilk" and of whom am I this "most of" and where do you get that I'd be "happy" with a gold standard? 3. I agree with 100%! Search this vid: "All Money Is Fiat Webster Tarpley"
Also, I'm on board with Ellen Brown's book "Web of Debt", and the American Monetary Institute monetaryDOTorg
"Government survives through the taxes we pay". Question: How did the government survived from 1776 to 1913? Before the 16th amendment(Tax amendment) was passed
The nephews dancing around to the songs is so cute! I don't think it was that the songs were corny cause of Disney, they were corny given the time when this short was produced. Belive it or not, there actually was a time this sort of music was popular.
This feels like it was made in the 50's yet Clarence Nash didn't die until 1985, and Alan Young probably didn't play as Uncle Scrooge until 1983 in Mickey's Christmas Carol.
This is the one cartoon you wouldn't hear the Bible verse: "You cannot serve God and Money".
Oh man. I love Scrooge McDuck, but it's just not the same without Alan Young doing the voice, and the nephews... where's Clarence Nash when you need him?
Clarence must not have been able to do this short when it was made. He was still doing Donald though until his death in 1983. Now Tony Anselmo has taken over the duck and has done superb.
@homsar36 This was before Alan Young first did the voice of Scrooge. And the nephews weren't voiced by Nash, because...
1. We couldn't understand whatever they'd say,
and 2. Clarance Nash was getting old. His final credit as Donald Duck, before passing it on to Tony Anselmo (His Donald Debut was in DuckTales) was Mickey's Christmas Carol.
Lmao @ end.
