Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })For years, Mickey Mouse, a once mighty force in animation, was but a memory. After his fall from popularity in the 1940s, and his final appearances in the 1950s, it seemed like there was no future for the mouse save as a corporate symbol for Disney.But then, in 1983, this film came along and changed that — well, sort of.Mickey's Christmas Carol is a 24-minute film, and a fairly straightforward adaptation of that one classic story everybody knows about by now. Despite the short being billed as Mickey's comeback, he serves only as the character of Bob Cratchit. Scrooge McDuck (in the role of—take a wild guess—Ebenezer Scrooge!) carries the bulk of the film instead, making his first animated appearance since the 1967 educational short Scrooge McDuck and Money. (Otherwise, up to this point he'd only appeared in the Carl Barks Uncle Scrooge comics and this short's precursor, a storybook album from The '70s.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Debuting as a supporting feature with the 1983 theatrical re-release of The Rescuers (after an animators' strike delayed an intended 1982 premiere on television), this adaptation was fairly well-received and nominated for an Academy Award as Best Animated Short Film. In 1984 it began airing annually around Christmas on network and cable television, and remains a holiday season favorite to this day. | |

The Cameo: Several classic Disney characters make appearances, including The Three Little Pigs, Jiminy Cricket, Willie the Giant and Mr. Toad. And just about everybody at Fezziwig's appeared in a Disney feature (Robin Hood in particular) or short. | |

Villain Song | |
| Mickey's Christmas Carol / Disney / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: Not in the short, but on the original LP, Scrooge sings about how "the only thing that counts for [him] is money". The same song has a "villain sucks" section that's sung from Bob Cratchit's perspective. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Mickey's Christmas Carol / Disney / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: In most adaptations, the Ghost of Christmas Future is simply Necessarily Evil and a Villainy-Free Villain; here, he actually finds sadistic enjoyment in forcing Scrooge through his potential Bad Future. Of course, this one's portrayed by Pete, so what else did you really expect? Although his goal is still technically heroic by scaring Scrooge straight, but he hammers the message stronger by acting more villainous. In the book and most adaptations Scrooge (because it's a social custom) reluctantly agrees to give Bob Cratchit Christmas Day off, with expecting him earlier the following morning, while here he only gives him half a day off, docks his pay by half, and makes him wash his laundry for him. Played With Goofy as Jacob Marley. Goofy is usually portrayed as a heroic, bumbling character. But Jacob Marley is someone who was evil enough in life he's sentenced to damnation, though his role here is to give a warning message so Scrooge won't follow his footsteps or else he'll suffer eternally, which is technically a rather heroic role despite his evil past. At least Goofy still kept his bumbling attitude. | |

Good Is Not Nice: While all of the Ghosts are meant to change Scrooge into becoming a better person, they make it no secret that they think he's a despicable miser who has done nothing, but choose money over love and the needy. | |

Scrooge screams for mercy and vows to change, but he loses his grip on a twig and falls into a casket whose interior is on fire, implying he is about to enter Hell. | |

Animated Adaptation | |
| Mickey's Christmas Carol / Disney / int_a68421bb | comment |
Animated Adaptation: This is an adaptation of Disneyland Records' 1974 audio musical entitled An Adaptation of Dickens' Christmas Carol. The biggest difference is that the first and third ghosts in the animated short are played by Merlin (Past) and the Evil Queen/Witch (Future), while Willie the Giant still played Present. The alms collectors are played not by Mr. Rat and Mr. Mole, as in the animated short, but by J. Worthington Foulfellow and Gideon. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| Mickey's Christmas Carol / Disney / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Fred is a bit less important in this adaptation. Scrooge chews him out in the first act, then reconciles and promises to go to his party in the ending, but the Ghost of Christmas Present doesn't take him to see Fred's party in progress. | |

Anthropomorphic Shift | |

Anthropomorphic Shift: Inverted with Cyril Proudbottom the horse. He is a Partially Civilized Animal in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, but he's a Nearly Normal Animal in this featurette. | |

Suddenly Voiced | |
| Mickey's Christmas Carol / Disney / int_d40a8a0f | comment |
Suddenly Voiced: The Ghost Of Christmas Future never speaks in the book and most adaptations, but here Pete has one line after being silent for most of his scene. In the original Disney record version, Foulfellow and Gideon are the alms collectors, with Gideon at one point speaking in unison with Foulfellow. May double as a Mythology Gag, Gideon was meant to speak in Pinocchio, but all his lines but a hiccup sound effect were cut. | |

| Mickey's Christmas Carol / Disney / int_e8b295de | comment |
Played With Goofy as Jacob Marley. Goofy is usually portrayed as a heroic, bumbling character. But Jacob Marley is someone who was evil enough in life he's sentenced to damnation, though his role here is to give a warning message so Scrooge won't follow his footsteps or else he'll suffer eternally, which is technically a rather heroic role despite his evil past. At least Goofy still kept his bumbling attitude. | |

Never Say "Die": Almost averted. Scrooge says "Then that means Tim will..." but gets cut off when he realizes that the Ghost of Christmas Present has vanished. The next scene makes the conclusion abundantly clear, though. | |
