Scrooge as his namesake with Mickey Mouse as Bob Cratchit. The reformed Scrooge at the end of Mickey's Christmas Carol . Appropriately enough, the first animated Christmas special to feature Scrooge was Mickey's Christmas Carol , the 1983 animated adaptation of the very story that inspired the character. As with the 1974 record album An Adaptation of Dickens' Christmas Carol, Performed by The Walt Disney Players , the short had Scrooge portraying the role of his miserly namesake. As in the original story, Scrooge is a greedy miser who does not care about his fellow man, poorly paying his clerk, Bob Cratchit (played by Mickey Mouse), and refusing a dinner invite from his nephew, Fred (played by Donald). After receiving a warning on Christmas Eve from the ghost of his deceased partner Jacob Marley (Goofy), Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past (Jiminy Cricket), Present (Willie the Giant from Mickey and the Beanstalk ) and Future (Pete), who show him the errors of his ways. The original album was co-written by Alan Young, who also provided Scrooge's voice. When Disney adapted the album as Mickey's Christmas Carol , Young auditioned for the role (as Disney didn't think he had wanted to reprise it), and with few exceptions, remained Scrooge's official voice for the next 33 years. Direct-to-video films. Scrooge playing the piano in Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas . In Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas , Scrooge appears prominently in the "Stuck on Christmas" segment starring his grandnephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie. Scrooge pays a visit to Donald and his nephews on Christmas Day, which then becomes every day as a result of the boys wishing that it were Christmas every day. Scrooge leads the family in singing Christmas carols after dinner, and when Huey, Dewey and Louie pull a series of pranks that result in the piano getting demolished (among other things), Scrooge is dismayed that they cannot sing carols now. The next repeat day, the boys make it the best Christmas ever, even singing the carols with Scrooge. Scrooge with Huey, Dewey and Louie in Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas . Scrooge appears again in Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas , appearing in the segment "Christmas: Impossible". Here, he invites Donald, Daisy, and the nephews to his mansion for the season. However, after Huey, Dewey, and Louie misbehave on Christmas Eve, Scrooge warns them that they won't get any Christmas presents if they're naughty, telling them that he acted that way as a kid and never got to be on Santa Claus' nice list. This leads to the boys traveling to the North Pole to put their names on the nice list themselves. In the end, however, they instead put Scrooge's name on Santa's nice list. On Christmas morning, thanks to the nephews' compassion, Scrooge finally gets what he always wanted for Christmas - a pair of bagpipes. Later, in the last segment, "Mickey's Dog-Gone Christmas", Scrooge purchases a snow plow company to help search for Pluto after he goes missing. After Mickey and Pluto are reunited at the end of the story, Scrooge joins them and their friends to sing the closing medley. Television specials and episodes. The first made-for-television Christmas special to feature an appearance by Scrooge, A Magic Kingdom Yuletide Special , marked one of his earliest known appearances in "live" form. This special finds Scrooge playing a very similar role to his previous Christmas film, in that he continually expresses disdain for Christmas while the other characters are celebrating, and when Goofy (as Santa Claus) sings about Christmas being his favorite day, Scrooge interjects about his favorite days (payday and December 26th). Eventually, though, Mickey presents Scrooge with a gift from Goofy/Santa, and upon opening said present, Scrooge suddenly feels a lot more joyous and decides to join Mickey and his friends for Christmas dinner. Although the original DuckTales TV series never had a proper Christmas episode, there was a specially-made Christmas-themed piece of promotional animation aired in commercials during the Disney Afternoon's second season, set at Scrooge's mansion, in which he has apparently invited the stars of Darkwing Duck and TaleSpin over for Christmas. However, Scrooge himself only appears at the very end of this particular promo. Scrooge makes a very brief cameo in the Mickey Mouse Works short "Mickey's Christmas Chaos"; while battling with Mortimer Mouse over decorating their houses for the annual decorating contest, Mickey gets Scrooge, Huey, Dewey, and Louie to stand as carolers in front of his house. Scrooge with Huey, Dewey and Louie in "Duck the Halls". The extended Mickey Mouse Shorts episode "Duck the Halls: A Mickey Mouse Christmas Special" notably marked Scrooge's first animated appearance in which he was voiced by John Kassir (following the death of Alan Young). In this special, Scrooge and the rest of the Ducks migrate to Florida for winter, but he soon finds himself worrying about Donald, who decided to stay behind in Mouseton for Christmas. After learning how deathly ill his nephew is becoming due to the cold northern weather (even though he has never had such a problem in any previous or subsequent Christmas specials), Scrooge and the rest of the family prepare to drive back to Mouseton to pick up Donald right when Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Pluto crash Santa's sleigh bringing Donald over. At the end of the special, Santa accidentally gives Scrooge a stethoscope meant for Ludwig Von Drake, who got a bag of money, so the two exchange their gifts. The very next year, Scrooge (as he appeared in the DuckTales reboot) showed up in the stop-motion "Share the Joy" network ID promos that ran on Disney XD for Christmas. In one of the spots, titled "Scrooge's Present", the nephews and Webby Vanderquack say they have a gift for him, despite his assurance that, being the richest duck in the world, he doesn't need one. The kids, however, give him a gift anyway - a visit from Baymax from Big Hero 6 , who gives him a hug. In another spot, "Decorating the Tree", Scrooge finds the Amulet of Mallard-Ra in the bag of presents they're supposed to be giving out, and asks if Dewey placed it in there. Scrooge again has the starring role in "Last Christmas!", the first Christmas episode of the DuckTales reboot. At the beginning of the episode, he at first seems just as petulant about celebrating Christmas as his namesake, and also holds a grudge against Santa. However, as Dewey soon discovers, he actually doesn't hate Christmas at all (aside from his grudge against Santa), and instead enjoys spending the holiday hanging out with a trio of time-traveling ghosts whom he met years ago when they mistook for "some other Scrooge". Scrooge's most recent Christmas special was the DuckTales reboot's second Christmas episode, "How Santa Stole Christmas!" In it, he is forced to team up with Santa to save Christmas after the latter seemingly injures his leg. The episode reveals through flashbacks that Scrooge (during his days as an unsuccessful coal salesman) and Santa were actually once friends who had gone into business together as "McDuck and Claus Deliveries". The two planned to distribute Santa's gifts by Christmas Day by finding the Feliz Navidiamond, an artifact that could slow down time. They succeeded in this quest, during which they tamed flying reindeer (who later became Santa's sleigh-pulling team) and battled an abominable snowman. However, when Santa suggested that they not monetize their gift-giving operation, Scrooge furiously ended their friendship. Back in the present day, Scrooge gradually finds himself getting along with Santa once again as he assists him, but it's soon revealed that Scrooge has been giving out coal to everyone , believing it to be a more practical gift than the toys Santa gives out and not realizing coal is typically given to bad children. Eventually, Scrooge sees the error of his ways after a little girl named Jennifer makes a doll out of the coal he gave her, and, after getting the rest of the McDuck family to help deliver the gifts, deactivates all of his Santa traps, finally ending his feud against Santa. 0394947819 - Walt Disney Productions Presents Merry Christmas, Uncle Scrooge Mcduck Disney's Wonderful World of Reading by Walt Disney Productions.

  • The Disney Bloodline
    Get Your Free 150 MB Website Now! THE SKILL OF LYING, THE ART OF DECEIT The Disney Bloodline The Illuminati have refined the art of deception far beyond what the common man has imagined. The very life & liberty of humanity requires the unmasking of their deceptions. That is what this book is about. Honesty is a necessary ingredient for any society to function successfully. Deception has become a national pastime, starting with our business and political leaders and cascading down to the grass roots. The deceptions of the Illuminati's mind-control may be hidden, but in their wake they are leaving tidal waves of distrust that are destroying America. While the CIA pretend to have our nations best interest at heart, anyone who has seriously studied the consequences of deception on a society will tell you that deception will seriously damage any society until it collapses. Lies seriously damage a community, because trust and honesty are essential to communication and productivity. Trust in some form is a foundation upon which humans build relationships. When trust is shattered human institutions collapse. If a person distrusts the words of another person, he will have difficulty also trusting that the person will treat him fairly, have his best interests at heart, and refrain from harming him. With such fears, an atmosphere of death is created that will eventually work to destroy or wear down the cooperation that people need. The millions of victims of total mind- control are stripped of all trust, and they quietly spread their fears and distrust on a subconscious level throughout society.

  • Jason Et Les Argonautes – Don Chaffey – 1963
    Jason et les argonautes – Don Chaffey – 1963 1963 Grande-Bretagne, 1963. Réalisation : Don Chaffey. Scénario : Jan Read, Beverley Cross. Image : Wilkie Cooper. Musique : Bernard Hermann. Montage : Maurice Rootes. Décors : Geoffrey Drake. Effets spéciaux : Ray Harryhausen. Producteur : Charles H. Schneer. Producteur associé : Ray Harryhausen. Production : Columbia Pictures, Morningside Productions. Interprétation : Todd Armstrong (Jason), Gary Raymond (Acastus), Nial McGinnis (Zeus), Nancy Kovack (Médée), Nigel Green (Hercule), Laurence Naismith (Argos), Michael Gwynn (Hermes), Douglas Wilmer (Pélias), Jack Gwillim (Aétès), Honor Blackman (Hera), John Cairney (Hylas), Patrick Troughton (Phinéas), Andrew Faulds (Phalerus). L'histoire : Invoquant Zeus, Hermès fait à Pélias une double prédiction : si l'invasion du royaume de Thessalie qu'il s'apprête à lancer à la nuit tombée sera couronnée de succès, l'un des enfants du roi assassiné lui reprendra bientôt le trône. S'il tue les deux filles, Philomèle et Briséis, Jason lui a déjà échappé et reviendra pour reprendre par la force le royaume de son père, chaussé d'une seule sandale selon Héra. Lorsque Jason secourt Pélias vingt ans plus tard d'une noyade, ce dernier le reconnaît ainsi aussitôt, mais pas le jeune homme qui lui avoue ses intentions avec imprudence. Afin de se débarrasser de lui, Pélias l'envoie d'abord chercher la Toison d'Or – une peau de bélier capable de guérir les maux de son peuple – et charge son fils Acaste d'intégrer l'équipage. Bien qu'une déesse ne puisse habituellement aider que des femmes, Zeus autorise exceptionnellement Héra à porter cinq fois secours à Jason dans sa quête. Emmené sur l'Olympe par Hermès, Jason reçoit les conseils d'Héra qui lui indique qu'il trouvera la Toison d'Or en Colchide, mais il refuse l'aide de Zeus qui lui proposait un équipage et un navire.

  • Response to This Article About the Hasbro/Discovery Hub Shift In
    Response to this article about the Hasbro/Discovery Hub shift in power...which turned into another my long-winded, thoughtful rants: http://online.wsj.com/articles/discovery-to-take-control-of-the-hub-network- 1410979842 Well, that's...somewhat shocking. From what I can tell, the Hasbro/Discovery partnership in The Hub has been an amazing success. I watch the channel almost every day. Most of its programming is--and has been, for the past 3.5 years--excellent. From the original series (FiM, Pound Puppies, Strawberry Shortcake, LPS, Dan Vs., Aquabats Super Show, Family Game Night, Care Bears, Transformers, Haunting Hour), to all the other wonderful shows/sitcoms (oh my goodness!! Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Goosebumps, Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Step By Step, Who's the Boss, Family Ties, The Facts of Life, Sister, Sister, Sabrina, Atomic Betty, etc.), to the extremely well-chosen family movies (I loved it when they aired the Homeward Bound films, All Dogs Go to Heaven 2...today I saw Spaceballs...and they've just made so many other great movie picks every season.) They've been an outstanding example of listening to your viewers and giving them what they want. Even their misfires and middle-of-the-road shows are more than bearable (SheZow, animated Sabrina, Teenage Fairytale Dropouts, Kid President, Parents Just Don't Understand, and such.) If Hasbro were to grow dissatisfied with controlling six hours of its toy-based cartoons daily on Hub (which seems like a fair deal they've cut, tbh), and moved them over to Cartoon Network or Disney...well, at least the shows would still continue on, and be a MASSIVE boon to either of those channels.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.
