Christmas is upon us and we can now begin talking about our favorite Disney Christmas Movies. I have just finished watching ‘Mickey’s Christmas Carol’ for the first time in many years and couldn’t believe all of the cameos involved in this movie. Check them out!
Mickey’s Christmas Carol debuted in 1983 as a theatrical featurette featuring a re-enactment of the classic Charles Dickens story A Christmas Carol with Disney Characters.
Alan Young provided the voice for the first time as Scrooge McDuck. Wayne Allwine voiced Mickey for the first time as well as one of Clarence Nash’s final performances as the voice of Donald Duck. Nash is the only original voice actor involved in this film, as other original voice actors such as Walt Disney (Mickey Mouse), Pinto Colvig (Goofy), Billy Bletcher (Pete), Cliff Edwards (Jiminy Cricket) and Billy Gilbert (Willie the Giant) died prior to the film’s production.
