Mickey's Christmas Carol was released in 1983 and was directed by Burny Mattinson. In addition to Scrooge McDuck as Scrooge and Mickey Mouse as Bob Cratchit, the film also features many other beloved Disney characters in classic Dickensian roles. Donald Duck plays Scrooge's nephew Fred, Goofy plays Jacob Marley's ghost, and Jiminy Cricket serves as the narrator.
The film follows the traditional story of A Christmas Carol, with Scrooge being visited by three ghosts who show him glimpses of his past, present, and future. As Scrooge learns the meaning of Christmas and the true value of kindness and generosity, he transforms from a miserly and bitter old man to a kind and joyful benefactor.
Mickey's Christmas Carol was praised for its faithful retelling of the classic story, as well as its clever use of beloved Disney characters in the various roles. The film was also notable for introducing Scrooge McDuck as a character outside of the comic book world, leading to his later appearances in the popular television series DuckTales.
Overall, Mickey's Christmas Carol remains a beloved holiday classic for Disney fans of all ages, and is often included in annual Christmas programming on television.
