History Trivia / MickeysChristmasCarol

* PlayingAgainstType: Of all the characters you might expect to play cold-hearted swindler and calculating businessman Jacob Marley, we get... ''Goofy''?

* TrailerDelay: This was intended as a television special and was to debut on CBS in 1982, but an animators' strike meant it couldn't be finished in time. A ClipShow special, ''A Walt Disney Christmas'', had to be thrown together to take its place; that show has been covered at Blog/TheIslandOfMisfitChristmasSpecials. When it was finally released the next year, it was not initially on television, but theatrically, alongside a reissue of ''Disney/TheRescuers'' (earning an Oscar nomination at the process). It was finally shown on television in 1984, on NBC, and released on [[Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo video]] shortly afterwards (it eventually joined the WaltDisneyHomeVideo/WaltDisneyMiniClassics and Disney Favorite Stories video lines).

** Cameoes from some characters of WesternAnimation/RobinHood.
