"Mickey's Christmas Carol" is a retelling of Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol" in animation with familiar Disney cartoon characters in all the roles.
Scrooge McDuck leads as Ebenezer Scrooge, greedy London businessman and miser, with Mickey Mouse as his underpaid and underappreciated clerk Bob Crachit and Donald Duck as Scrooge's nephew Fred. Goofy is Jacob Marley, Scrooge's dead partner, come to warn Scrooge on Christmas Eve of the terrible fate awaiting him in the afterlife if he does not reform his ways. As in Dickens' novel, Scrooge is visted by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, and learns his lesson.
This is family entertainment with a lesson. In just 25 minutes, Disney has managed to capture the essentials of the story, hopefully without exceeding anyone's attention span. The ghostly tale is told with humorous relief, as Goofy's Jacob Marley is accident ... Read More
Rating: - "mommy, when I die, am I going to go fall into a flaming grave?"
That's exactly what I said to my Mom when I was very young and I saw it. I still have nightmares.
Call me the second coming of Scrooge if you will, but even if I am the only one, I hate this movie. It's all good ol' fashioned Disney fun, then comes the Ghost of Christmas Future. That whole scene with falling into the grave, in my humble opinion, is Michael Eisner child abuse. Not only does Disney have to add the whole dramatics of the scene where Mickey goes to Tiny Tim's grave--they feel an insane compulsion to add as much drama as they can to stretch the loopholes of the G-rating. Oh, yeah, and Scrooge gets right in the audience's face at the last second. Masterful cinematography, I'll admit. Having a talking Scottish duck thrown at me has never been so scary, but hey, they managed to do it. Perhaps it would have found a better home in nightmare on elm street, but with Scrooge McDuck? I didn't think so. ... Read More

Rating: - Classic
How can you not love this title? Personally its charm has ruined me for any other versions of A Christmas Carol. They're all so dull, it's almost a chore to watch those movies that try to capture some sort of haughty classical feel that just doesn't need to be there. I enjoy this movie every time I watch, because it effectively tells the same story while keeping it light. I wish they opt to show this on tv more often instead of all the dull ones that they choose to show. I remember when they showed it every year, like they do with those tiresome greeting card animated specials, yet they don't anymore and it was probably the only special I didn't tire of.
