Let's (Re)Watch: Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983)

Let's (Re)Watch it Again!

Welcome to Let’s Rewatch it Again, I’m Jourdan and… “Listen, Scrooge, if men were measured by kindness, you'd be no - *bigger* than a - -speck of dust!”

That quote might be a little misleading because there are so many adaptations of Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol. Today we are rewatching Mickey’s Christmas Carol from 1983, the first adaptation Disney produced, the second was the infamous Muppet Christmas Carol, another favorite of mine. This is also the first to features animals as the characters rather than humans.

Alan Young voiced Ebenezer Scrooge and continued his role as Scrooge McDuck for the DuckTales.

This is the last film where Clarence Nash provides the voice of Donald Duck and the first where Wayne Allwine provides the voice of Mickey Mouse.

Hal Smith the voice of Jacob Marley's Ghost (Goofy) and Patricia Parris the voice of IsaBelle (Daisy Duck) would later star in The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1988) as the voices of Owl and Kanga respectively.

Minnie Mouse plays Mrs. Cratchit, though she doesn't have a single line. Russi Taylor did record dialogue though which never ended up in the finished film.

Pluto is the only member of the Disney "Sensational Six" who is not in this film, this is the name give to the collective group of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Daisy, and Pluto.

This is also the last film to include long opening credits with only “The End” and no end credits. I remember fast forwarding the opening credits on my VHS as a child. They are so long!

Speaking of opening credits, let’s hit play!
