Mickey's Christmas Carol is a 1983 American animated Christmas fantasy featurette, directed and produced by Burny Mattinson. The cartoon is an adaptation of Charles Dickens's 1843 novella A Christmas Carol, and stars Scrooge McDuck as Ebenezer Scrooge. The rest of the cast was filled mostly using characters from pre-existing Disney animated properties; notably from the Mickey Mouse universe, Jiminy Cricket from Pinocchio (1940), The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949), and Robin Hood (1973).

Plot

On Christmas Eve, Ebenezer Scrooge (Scrooge McDuck), a greedy and lonely moneylender of Victorian era London, resents the merriment of Christmas; he refuses to give money to a panhandler outside his counting house, declines his nephew Fred's (Donald Duck) invitation to Christmas dinner, and dismisses two gentlemen (Rat and Mole) fundraising aid for the poor. His overworked and underpaid employee, Bob Cratchit (Mickey Mouse), requests to have half of Christmas Day off; Scrooge reluctantly accepts on the condition that Cratchit is docked half a day's pay. That night, he is visited by the shackled ghost of his late business partner Jacob Marley (Goofy). Marley warns that three spirits will visit Scrooge during the night, and that he will be similarly burdened after death if he does not change his wicked ways.
