Crappy film

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.Make the season merry as Mickey, Goofy, Donald and all their pals star in a heartwarming retelling of Dickens' unforgettable holiday tale. Ebenezer Scrooge (Scrooge McDuck) is far too greedy to understand that Christmas is a time for kindness and generosity. But with the guidance of some wise ghosts (Goofy and Jiminy Cricket) and a bunch of newfound friends, Scrooge learns to embrace the spirit of the season. Share this wonderful holiday treat with the whole family.This is to me however a safe version to introduce children to the story of "A Christmas Carol". The imagery in most versions of the story might be a little intense for children under 7. This version however is fine for the small ones. In my opinion the best version of "A Christmas Carol" is the 1938 version starring Reginald Owen, Gene Lockhart, & Kathleen Lockhart. |

A great version of the story about ol' "Bah Humbug" himself, Ebenezer Scrooge. I'm sure most everyone has seen a version on film or has read A Christmas Carol so won't rehash the entire story - but to those few who might not have seen or read the story: It's a good story filled with crabby Scrooge, a poor family and 3 ghosts that haunt Scrooge.Disney's version of this tale is good. It's hard not to love Mickey Mouse and his gang. This film has become a classic and a standard film for the holidays. So if you haven't seen this version of the story then give it a try... it's got a couple of giggles but mainly Disney keeps the story as heartwarming and the original tale.10/10

Delightful(if a bit too short, covering very little of the Dickens' story but the bare essentials)Walt Disney version of A Christmas CAROL features the wonderful voice of Alan Young of MR. ED fame as Ebenezer Scrooge McDuck, Bah humbugging those around him of good Holiday cheer until he is visited by deceased partner Jacob Marley(Goofy who makes a marvelous introduction and easily the character who steals plenty of chuckles such as his inability to keep from tripping over his chains)and three ghosts over Christmas Eve, one of whom is Jiminy Cricket(as Christmas Past). With Mickey Mouse as long suffering Bob Cratchet, Minnie his wife, and Donald Duck as Scrooge's jolly nephew who invites Ebenezer to a Christmas dinner. While a mere 24 minutes(it's just too much fun to end so soon), Scrooge only visits Fezzywigs dance in the past where he first met Isabella, his first love, and the counting house where he chose a life of greed over matrimonial happiness, Cratchet's home in the present to see how small the turkey was for their dinner, and the cemetery of the future where Tiny Tim and himself would be buried. As I mentioned this little cartoon adaptation is over before you know it, but I figure Disney and Scrooge fans will enjoy it. It was quite a childhood favorite of mine and seeing it again after nearly twenty years was a pleasure. Again my only qualm with MICKEY'S Christmas CAROL is the puny length, and that is actually a compliment since I didn't want it to end.

The return of Walt Disney's most famous cartoon character, Mickey Mouse, to the silver screen after a prolonged 30-year absence was via this wonderful, Oscar-nominated animated short subject – a Disneyfication of Charles Dickens' Christmas perennial which, surprisingly enough for being made during a period of low ebb for the studio, succeeds far better than it ought to. Ebeneezer Scrooge is played by Scrooge McDuck (voiced by veteran actor Alan Young) while Mickey Mouse portrays his overworked underpaid employee Bob Cratchit; also making a welcome appearance (and adding to the fun) is Donald Duck as Scrooge's happy-go-lucky nephew, Goofy as the clumsy (what else?) ghost of Jacob Marley, Jiminy Cricket as the Ghost of Christmas Past and Willie the Giant (of the BEANSTALK fame) as the Ghost of Christmas Present. At 26 minutes, the narrative is necessarily overly condensed but the familiar characters (ironically enough) come so vividly to life here that one is, just like Dickens' own Oliver Twist, left asking for more! P.S. Initially, it wasn't my intention to watch this Disney short over the Christmas period – in fact, I practically forgot that I actually owned it on DVD as part of the "Walt Disney Treasures" 2-Disc Set of MICKEY MOUSE IN LIVING COLOR VOLUME 2! However, recent enthusiastic comments I've read on an online Forum made me spring for it sooner rather than later...
