Do you know if the Mickey’s Christmas Carol that comes on Tuesday the 8th is the old one with Scrooge McDuck or some new 3D crap one?

December 1, 2009 at 3:41 PM

Sorry ac, I’m not sure.

December 1, 2009 at 3:53 PM

It’s the 1983 animated version of the Dicken’s clasic with Mickey Mouse as Bob Cratchit and Scrooge McDuck as Ebenezer Scrooge. The one that was nominated for an Oscar.

December 1, 2009 at 7:15 PM

Which is, IMHO, the best Christmas special, ever.

December 2, 2009 at 1:31 AM

I haven’t seen it since it ABC aired it on The Wonderful World of Disney in the 90s. This is exciting. Now if only Obama didn’t move A Charlie Brown Christmas….

December 2, 2009 at 12:22 PM

Ok, Charlie Brown is up there too. I just get to see that every year, but, like you, haven’t seen Disney’s Scrooge in a long time.
