Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and many more of your favorite characters join the cast in this delightfully charming adaptation of a classic holiday tale. Ebenezer Scrooge (Scrooge McDuck) is far too greedy to understand the Christmas is the time for kindness and generosity. So, with the guidance of some wise ghosts (with Goofy and Jiminy Cricket), and the examples set by his clerk Bob Cratchit (Micky) and nephew Fred (Donald), Scrooge learns how to embrace the true spirit of the season.
As a child, I can easily remember my prized possession was a Walt Disney book that my father purchased for me and it featured the chronology of the early classic Walt Disney animated shorts. Some of these shorts were shown on the Disney Channel when I was younger but suffice to say, with all the new animation being released by Disney, a lot of these classics have yet to be seen by the newer generation or to be released on video (as many have only been released on VHS).
“Mickey’s Christmas Carol” is a popular Disney animated cartoon is from 1983 and has been featured on several DVD’s in the past. In an animated retelling of the Charles Dickens masterpiece, Scrooge McDuck plays Ebenezer Scrooge who is tight with money and puts money above everything. Even on Christmas Eve, his poor employee Bob Cratchit (Mickey Mouse) is docked pay for Christmas vacation. But its when the Ghosts of Christmas past pay a visit to Ebenezer and show him that he should have compassion for people.

As mentioned, because I am not watching a film, I am watching this animated film along with “Frosty the Snowman” to make up for not watching a film today.
