Disney's Mickey’s Christmas Carol 1983 Commercial
The 1983 Disney classic directed and produced by Burny Mattinson brings Charles Dickens’ *A Christmas Carol* to life with **Scrooge McDuck** perfectly cast as Ebenezer Scrooge. Originally released on December 16, 1983 (alongside *The Rescuers* re-issue) and later airing on NBC in 1984, this featurette has become a holiday must-watch.
**Plot:**
On Christmas Eve in 19th-century London, the grumpy money-lender Scrooge learns the true meaning of Christmas… with a little ghostly guidance.
**Fun Trivia:**
Mickey’s first *original* theatrical cartoon in over 30 years—his last was *The Simple Things* (1953).
Packed with familiar Disney faces: Mickey & friends, Jiminy Cricket, characters from *Ichabod and Mr. Toad*, *Robin Hood*, and more.
Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film (1983). Eagle-eyed viewers can spot celebrity names on the graveyard tombstones—Gladys Knight & The Pips, Bob Mills, Warren Oates.
Minnie appears as Mrs. Cratchit, though she has no lines (her recorded dialogue was cut!).
First time Alan Young voices Scrooge McDuck, the last time Clarence Nash voices Donald Duck, and the debut of Wayne Allwine as Mickey Mouse.
Pluto is the only member of Disney’s “Super Six” missing from the film.
Released multiple times on VHS & LaserDisc, later on Blu-ray (30th Anniversary Edition), and now streaming on Disney+.
Here’s the trailer, Enjoy and Be A Kid Again....
