About Mickey’s Christmas Carol:
- Mickey's Christmas Carol was the first original Mickey Mouse theatrical cartoon produced in over 30 years, with Mickey not appearing since The Simple Things (1953).
- The short film, released in 1983, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, the first nomination for a Mickey Mouse short since Mickey and the Seal (1948).
- It was largely adapted from a 1974 Disneyland Records audio musical titled An Adaptation of Dickens' Christmas Carol, which featured similar dialogue and many of the same Disney characters (although had the Wicked Witch instead of Pete for the Ghost of Christmas Past).
- The film marked the final time Clarence Nash voiced Donald Duck before his death in 1985.
- Alan Young, who famously voiced Scrooge McDuck, first took on the role in the 1974 record album version of A Christmas Carol before reprising it for the film and later in the DuckTales series.
- If you’ve never checked out this classic short, you can watch it on Disney+.
