MICKEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL (NBC 1984)

Mickey Mouse returns to the screen for his first starring role in 30 years in this brilliantly animated re-telling of Charles Dickens' classic Christmas tale! As the overworked, underpaid Bob Cratchit, Mickey joins an unforgettable cast of legendary cartoon co-stars, including Scrooge McDuck as the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge; Goofy as the somewhat accident-prone spirit of Jacob Marley; Jiminy Cricket as the Ghost of Christmas Past and guest appearances from a host of other Disney favorites. It's all the magic of Walt Disney animation in a triumphant version of the world's best loved Christmas fantasy. Featuring the voice talents of Alan Young (Scrooge), Wayne Allwine (Cratchit), Hal Smith (Jacob Marley). (25 min, chapter marks)
