You’ll enjoy all the Disney characters’ renditions of all the Dickens characters, from Scrooge McDuck (as Scrooge, of course) to Goofy (as Marley), Jiminy Cricket (as the Ghost of Christmas Past), and the weasels (as Scrooge’s gravediggers).


With Dickens, we always want to know whether Scrooge actually time travels or merely observes the past and present. In this case, none of the spirits explicitly explain one way or the other, but if you watch carefully when Scrooge and Jiminy arrive in the past, you’ll spot Scrooge definitely interacting with a physical object the past when he’s unable to see the festivities inside Fezzywig’s. Verdict: probably time travel!

This cartoon was based on a 1972 audio musical entitled Disney's A Christmas Carol, although the cartoon is not a musical.

If these shadows remain unchanged, I see an empty chair where Tiny Tim once sat.
