Mickey's Christmas Carol. The special Christmas variant of Mickey's opening card used for this special's title sequence. — Goofy, as Marley, giving his awkward warning to Scrooge. Mickey's Christmas Carol is a 1983 theatrical featurette featuring established Disney characters enacting Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol . The production, hailed as Mickey Mouse's big-screen comeback (despite his limited supporting role), was inspired by An Adaptation of Dickens' Christmas Carol, Performed by The Walt Disney Players , a 1974 record album conceived by Alan Young and Alan Dineheart. The film also marked the first screen production in which Young provided the voice of Uncle Scrooge McDuck, whose voice he had provided on the aforementioned album. Young would go on to reprise the voice of Scrooge in nearly every subsequent production to feature the character, most notably the animated television series DuckTales , until his death in May 2016. The featurette also marked the first theatrical outing for Wayne Allwine as the voice of Mickey Mouse (who had previously voiced the character in animation produced for The New Mickey Mouse Club TV series in 1977) as well as Clarence Nash's final performance as the voice of Donald Duck. In addition to Scrooge McDuck as his namesake, the cast of characters includes Mickey as Bob Cratchit, Donald as Scrooge's nephew Fred, Daisy Duck as Scrooge's first love, Minnie Mouse as a silent Mrs. Cratchit, Morty Fieldmouse (one of Mickey's nephews) as Tiny Tim, Goofy as the Ghost of Jacob Marley, Jiminy Cricket as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Willie the Giant (from the "Mickey and the Beanstalk" segment of Fun and Fancy Free ) as the Ghost of Christmas Present, Pete as the Ghost of Christmas Future, Mole and Ratty (from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad ) as the charity collectors, Mr. Toad himself in a silent cameo as Fezziwig, and scores of other cameos from the theatrical shorts and films. The film was nominated for the 1983 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film; however, it lost to Sundae in New York . Contents. Synopsis. Scrooge and Bob Cratchit (Mickey). On Christmas Eve, while all of Victorian England is in the merry spirit of Christmas, Ebenezer Scrooge (played by Scrooge McDuck) thinks only of the money he has made and of making more (apparently, he charges people 80% interest, compounded daily). While Scrooge's selfish thoughts cascade in his head, Bob Cratchit (Mickey Mouse), exhausted and underpaid, continues to work long and hard for him. Cratchit reluctantly asks for a "half day off" for Christmas, to which Scrooge replies it will be unpaid (in contrast to the original version where Scrooge is irritated at giving Cratchit Christmas off with pay). Scrooge's nephew Fred (Donald Duck) comes in to invite Scrooge to his family's Christmas dinner, but Scrooge turns him down. When collectors Rat and Mole, along with beggars on the streets, kindly ask for a simple donation, Scrooge turns them down, saying that if he does, then the poor will no longer be poor and the collectors will be out of work, "and you [can't] ask me to do that, not on Christmas Eve." Scrooge gets a visit from the ghost of Jacob Marley (Goofy). That night, the ghost of Scrooge's greedy former business partner Jacob Marley (Goofy) appears and scares Scrooge out of his wits. When Scrooge commends him for his ruthlessness, Marley chuckles a hearty "Yup", but then recalls his sinfulness, and tells that because of his cruelty in life, he is doomed to wear heavy chains for eternity ("maybe even longer"). He warns that a similar fate, if not worse, will befall Scrooge unless he changes his ways. Marley then leaves, falling down the stairs when he tries to avoid tripping over Scrooge's cane again and letting out his signature Goofy holler. Scrooge dismisses the incident, but is later awoken by The Ghost of Christmas Past (Jiminy Cricket). He shows Scrooge his past, when his growing love of money led him to cruelly break the heart of his fiancée Isabel (Daisy Duck) by foreclosing on the honeymoon cottage's mortgage. (This is in sharp contrast to the original novel where Belle is the one who ends the engagement with Scrooge in a relatively amicable manner.) The Cratchit family celebrating Christmas. Not long after the first visit, the Ghost of Christmas Present (Willie the Giant) arrives, surrounded by turkey, mince pies, and suckling pigs. He shows him the poverty-stricken Cratchit family, who still keep a festive attitude in their home despite their hardships. Bob's young son, Tiny Tim (Morty Fieldmouse), is revealed to be ill, and Willie foretells tragedy if the family's hapless life does not change. However, just when Scrooge is desperate to know Tim's fate, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the house both vanish. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (a hooded figure later revealed to be Pete) arrives to take Scrooge to the future in a graveyard. When he sees Bob mourning for Tiny Tim, who has passed away (indicated by Bob placing Tim's crutch on his memorial marker), Scrooge fearfully asks whether this future can be altered. He then overhears the laughter of two gravediggers (two weasels from The Wind in the Willows ), who are amazed and humored by the fact that no one attended the funeral of the man whose grave they were digging for. After the weasels leave to take a break from their work, Scrooge and the ghost approach the lonely grave, where the ghost lights a cigar, revealing Scrooge's name on the tombstone, and gives him a shove into his grave, calling him "the richest man in the cemetery". Scrooge falls towards his coffin as the lid opens and the flames of Hell burst out. Scrooge clings to a vine but it snaps and Scrooge falls into his grave, shouting his repentance, as the ghost laughs cruelly. Scrooge celebrating Christmas with the Cratchit family. Suddenly, he is back home on Christmas morning. Having been given another chance, Scrooge throws his coat over his nightshirt, dons his cane and top hat, and goes to visit the Cratchits, cheerfully donating generous amounts of money along the way and telling Fred that he will come to dinner at his house after all. He tries to play a ninny on Bob, dragging in a large sack supposedly filled with laundry and announcing gruffly that there will be extra work in the future. But to the Cratchits' joy, the sack is instead filled with toys and a big turkey for dinner. Scrooge gives Bob a raise and makes him his partner in the counting house, and Tiny Tim proclaims the original character's famous line of "God bless us, everyone!"

Songs. Broadcast history. — Mickey segueing into the special in the hour-length broadcasts. Mickey's Christmas Carol was originally intended to debut as a prime-time special on CBS in 1982, with a comic strip adaptation running in the Walt Disney's Treasury of Classic Tales Sunday newspaper comic strip from October 3rd to December 26th of that year. However, due to an animators' strike, the special would not be finished in time for Christmas of that year, resulting in CBS instead running A Disney Christmas Gift in the planned time slot. The film premiered theatrically in the United Kingdom on October 20, 1983, alongside a reissue of The Jungle Book , and was then packaged together with a re-release of The Rescuers in the United States, starting on December 16th of the same year. It was billed as Mickey's "big-screen comeback" despite him not being the main character (his last film, The Simple Things , was released thirty years earlier, in 1953). The film made its televised premiere on NBC on December 10, 1984, and was rebroadcast there until 1990, after which it aired on CBS from 1991 to 1996. The NBC and CBS broadcasts spanned a full hour, with the first half consisting of three winter-themed theatrical Disney shorts - Donald's Snow Fight , Pluto's Christmas Tree , and The Art of Skiing . Each segment was preceded by a narrative wraparound segment in which one of the characters (Donald, Pluto [with Mickey translating], Goofy, and Mickey, respectively) would talk about their most memorable Christmas moments, thus leading into the cartoon in question. Each of the wraparounds featured paintings of the characters similar to those used in the film's opening credits sequence, which were all drawn by Michael Peraza Jr. From 1988 onward, The Art of Skiing was removed from the annual broadcast, replaced by a different segment at the end of the hour each year, which was usually a behind-the-scenes featurette promoting the latest Disney animated feature. The 1988, 1989, and 1990 telecasts included behind-the-scenes featurettes on Oliver and Company , The Little Mermaid , and The Rescuers Down Under , respectively, while the 1991 broadcast instead ended with a retrospective on Fantasia . The 1993 and 1994 broadcasts included behind-the-scenes looks at The Nightmare Before Christmas and Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book , and the 1995 broadcast included a sneak peek at The Hunchback of Notre Dame . [1] CBS' final broadcast of the special in 1996 concluded with a sneak peek at Hercules . After CBS dropped the special, it moved to ABC, which had by now been acquired by Disney, and aired there from 1997 to 2003, no longer accompanied by the extra shorts and wraparounds. On cable, it was also aired annually on the Disney Channel from 1987 to 1999 and from 2002 to 2006, and on Toon Disney (prior to it being replaced by Disney XD) on Christmas Day in 2008. From 2008 to 2018, it was aired annually on ABC Family (later renamed Freeform) as part of the 25 Days of Christmas, but with several abrupt edits. For the Christmas season of 2011, the Premiere Theatre in the Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park at Walt Disney World showed this special in rotation with Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation! and Prep & Landing: Naughty vs. Nice from December 23-31. Availability. In the same year that the special began airing on television, Disney also released Mickey's Christmas Carol on VHS, Betamax, CED, and Laserdisc. All of these releases also contained a special behind-the-scenes documentary, The Making of Mickey's Christmas Carol . However, when Disney released the special on VHS and Laserdisc again as part of the Walt Disney Mini-Classics line on October 19, 1990, the making-of documentary was only included on the Laserdisc release. Disney released the special on VHS again in 1994, this time as part of the Favorite Stories video series. The special made its DVD debut in 2001, when it was featured, with its opening credits edited out, as the last cartoon played in the direct-to-video compilation film Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse . The full special was later featured on the Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Living Color, Volume 2 DVD set in 2004, though it was cropped to widescreen. However, to date, it is also the only DVD release of the special to also include the making-of documentary from the 1984 video releases. The special then appeared, in its original 4:3 aspect ratio, on the Classic Cartoon Favorites, Volume 9 - Classic Holiday Stories DVD in 2005 and the Walt Disney Animation Collection, Volume 7: Mickey's Christmas Carol DVD in 2009. A special 30th Anniversary Edition DVD and Blu-ray, both of which contained five other winter-themed Disney shorts ( The Hockey Champ , Pluto's Christmas Tree , The Art of Skiing , Corn Chips , and the Mickey Mouse Shorts episode "Yodelberg") was released on November 5, 2013; however, it too had the special cropped to widescreen, and was also criticized for its heavy use of digital noise reduction. (Unfortunately, the print used on the 2013 DVD and Blu-ray is the same print used on Disney+.) 10 Truly Amazing Historic Disney Christmas Cards. There’s nothing like the combination of the holidays and Disney. If you’ve visited the parks around this time of year, or popped in your copy of Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas or The Muppet Christmas Carol , you know what we mean. It’s magic on top of magic. And to celebrate the season, we decided to head into the photo archive and retrieve ten of our favorite Walt Disney Company Christmas cards, dating back to 1930 and continuing through to 1991. (We turned up similar cards last year.) These cards serve as unique time capsules for the company and a prime example of the kind of enchantment that happens when Disney and Christmas collide. 1930. We love the old timey look and the fact that the card is from “Mickey Mouse and Walt Disney.” (that font, too!) Also, Mickey is in classic rubber hose mode; he’s super expressive and oh-so-jolly. It’s important to note when this was in the history of Mickey Mouse: two years after “Steamboat Willie” and two years before he would appear in a color short film. This is Mickey Mouse at the height of his powers. 1940. This card is gorgeous . It’s inspired by a sequence from Fantasia , which was released right before Christmas. We love how simple and elegant this card is and how it’s in keeping with the more elliptical spirit of Fantasia . At the time, Fantasia was a huge risk; a bold, experimental anthology made by a filmmaker primarily associated with formal adaptations of classic fairy tales. 75 years later, we recognize it as the masterpiece it was. And this card is totally in keeping with that spirit. 1949. Aww, they’re caroling! We love the graphic design of this card and the fact that it features Jaq and Gus from Cinderella , which would actually be released in the first quarter of 1950. This is so classically Disney and classically Christmas. 1950. Again, Christmas card looks to the future, with Donald, Pluto, Mickey and Minnie, gathered around their new favorite book (clearly given to them for the holidays): Alice in Wonderland ! Alice and the March Hare are there, too, giving whoever received this card a sneak peek at Disney’s next animated marvel, which wouldn’t be released until the summer of 1951. 1954. What’s really interesting about this card is that it doesn’t focus on an animated feature from the time. Peter Pan was released the year before and Lady and the Tramp was released the year after. But instead of either of those films, the card harkens back to Pinocchio , which was released back in 1940. We love the modern style of the card and how Mickey is puppeting Pinocchio in marionette form. (Huey, Dewey and Louie are thrilled.) This is really special and fun. 1959. Disneyland’s first fireworks were set off in 1956, a year after the park opened. And in 1958 the “Fantasy in the Sky” fireworks show debuted. So it makes sense that the company’s 1959 holiday card would feature the famous Sleeping Beauty castle and fireworks bursting in the sky overhead. The stylized font choice for “Seasons Greetings” is also really cool. 1966. The 1964-’65 World’s Fair, held in Queens, New York, was where Walt Disney debuted a number of attractions that would ultimately become iconic hallmarks of the company and continues to be an inspiration today (look no further than the first 20 minutes of Tomorrowland ). As the card suggests, it’s a small world was one of those attractions. This card is lovely, with its assortment of small world characters from around the globe, combined with a distinctly Mary Blair-inspired art design. 1981. The year’s big movie was the charming animated tale The Fox and the Hound , so it makes sense that two characters from that film (Copper and Tod), would anchor the holiday card. It’s interesting to note that the more nebulous “Seasons Greetings” text has been replaced with a new message, and that there are a ton of classic Disney characters (everybody from Dumbo to Pinocchio to Maleficent) flanking our heroes. This was a fascinating time for the company, when it was both looking to the future (the utopian EPCOT Center would open the following the year) and looking back, appreciating its legacy. 1984. This card is super special for a number of reasons. The first reason is that it was taken at Tokyo Disneyland, which opened the previous year and broke ground by being the first international Disney park. (It snows pretty regularly at the park, although it’s usually a dusting.) The second reason is that it’s an actual photo instead of an illustration. Oh, and we love all of the walk-around characters playing in the snow (Pooh is the best) and the playfulness of the photo. The message is great too. 1991. Completed in 1990, a year before this card was sent out, was the Team Disney Building, the crown jewel of a radical overhaul of the Walt Disney Studios lot that began in 1985. Michael Graves, a favorite architect of the studio (he also designed the Swan and Dolphin hotels at Walt Disney World and Disney’s Hotel New York at Disneyland Paris), designed the building and its belowground parking garage. And the building takes center stage on the holiday card. We love that it’s a photo with an illustrated element (Mickey and Minnie skating) at its center. Plus, the text is terrific, with “From Our Home to Yours” emphasizing the fact that this is really where the magic comes from.
