Line #11 YMMV/MickeysChristmasCarol


1	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is the Ghost of Christmas Future (portrayed by Pete) really a sadistic asshole? Or is he just acting like one to further scare Scrooge?
2	* AwardSnub: Lost the Best Animated Short Oscar to ''WesternAnimation/SundaeInNewYork'', a Claymation musical by Jimmy Picker.
3	%%* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORCd8thA7N4 Oh What a Merry Christmas Day.]]
4	%%* CriticalDissonance: Series/SiskelAndEbert [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Icz8Yo14KZA gave it two thumbs down]].
5	* EvilIsCool: Pete's AdaptationalVillainy version of the Ghost of Christmas Future ends up being one of the memorable portrayals of the Ghost due to just how much Pete oozes in evilness with that role.
6	* HarsherInHindsight: At the start of the featurette, Scrooge boasts about having Jacob Marley buried at sea. Alan Young himself would be buried at sea following his death in 2016 (though in Young's case it was intentional, due to his service in the Royal Canadian Navy).
7	* HilariousInHindsight:
8	** Goofy plays the ghost of Jacob Marley in his attempt to warn Scrooge about what will happen if he keeps being greedy. In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' ("[[Film/SexLiesAndVideotape Wrecks, Lies, and Videotape]]"), Goofy poses as a ghost to warn Pete about what will happen if he doesn't change his ways. Sound familiar?
9	** Creator/MichaelCaine [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwaaBWhh6zw announcing the nominees for Best Animated Short Film]], one of them being ''WesternAnimation/MickeysChristmasCarol'', becomes hilarious a decade later, when he ended up starring in ''Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol''.
10	** A character voiced by Alan Young interacting with a rodent character dressed similarly to Literature/SherlockHolmes? [[WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective Now why does this seem familiar?]]
11	*** Another WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective hilarity bit: in the end of Mickey's Christmas Carol, Scrooge delivers a bundle of toys to Bob Crachit's children. In The Great Mouse Detective, Alan Young's character Mr. Flaversham is a toymaker by trade.
12	* ItsShortSoItSucks: Some people wish that Disney didn't try to cram the story into 26 minutes and made it a full-length feature instead.
13	* MagnificentBastard: The Ghost of Christ Yet to Come, portrayed here by WesternAnimation/{{Pete}}, is a menacing, [[CigarChomper cigar-smoking]] specter from the future who takes the harshest role in [[ScareEmStraight scaring Scrooge McDuck straight]]. Showing Scrooge the glimpse of a possible future in which the Cratchett family lose Tiny Tim and Scrooge himself dies with no one to remember or care about him, the Ghost gleefully shoves Scrooge into his own grave while dubbing him the "richest man in the cemetery!" The Ghost's more brutal methods drive home that Scrooge must change his ways, something that Scrooge takes to heart.
14	* OlderThanTheyThink:
15	** This was largely credited as Alan Young's debut for his role as Scrooge [=McDuck=], but he first voiced Scrooge back in 1974 for the vinyl album ''An Adaptation of Dickens' Christmas Carol'', where he [[TheOtherDarrin also voiced]] Cratchit/Mickey and [[WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone Merlin]].
16	** Regarding the short itself, kids who grew up in the 90's and early 2000s might assume this short was from ''WesternAnimation/MickeysMagicalChristmasSnowedInAtTheHouseOfMouse'', since it was the final short film showcased in the special, not knowing that its actual debut was decades earlier.
17	* OneSceneWonder:
18	** Pete as the Ghost of Christmas Future only has one line and evil laughter to his credit, but it’s a [[NightmareFuel/MickeysChristmasCarol memorable one]].
19	* QuestionableCasting:
20	** Goofy as Jacob Marley. Who can imagine sweet, lovable Goofy as a man who once embezzled from the less fortunate? Some could excuse that with the RuleOfFunny that scene applies though. Besides, Goofy shorts like ''Motor Mania'' and several of the sports-themed entries back in TheFifties proved that 'nasty' Goofy could work as a concept. It also works from a metaphorical standpoint--when he robbed the widows and swindled the poor (his words) in life, he done goofed!
21	** Daisy Duck as Scrooge's past love is also a little odd, given the age difference between the actual characters, unless you take into account that Young Scrooge's design is based off of Donald's appearance from the 1950 short ''Crazy Over Daisy''.
22	** Donald Duck as Fred Honeywell. Granted, Donald is Scrooge's nephew, but there's something odd about seeing Donald as such a cheery character that doesn't get angry. Though, when he's in a good mood, Donald ''can'' be pretty cheery, and this Fred ''does'' get angry, so it's not as unfitting as the others.
23	** [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} Honest John and Gideon]] as the charity collectors in the earlier Disney book adaptation ''An Adaptation of Dickens' Christmas Carol, Performed by The Walt Disney Players''. Both scoundrels are infamous for scamming people in their appearances and many readers familiar with the duo's antics would suspect they are scamming people on Christmas eve, [[UnintentionallySympathetic siding immediately with Scrooge when he kicks them out of his business]]. Due to this, the animated special decided to replace them with [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad Rat and Mole]], a much more fitting pair of "actors" to play the charity collectors.
24	* SignatureScene:
25	** Bob Cratchit and his family visiting Tiny Tim’s grave in the BadFuture, notable as one of the very few times Mickey Mouse has ever been shown to be legitimately heartbroken.
26	** Following immediately afterward is Scrooge seeing his own grave and nearly being sent to Hell in all but name at the hands of The Ghost of Christmas Future.
27	* {{Squick}}: Daisy Duck being the ex-girlfriend of Donald Duck's uncle may strike some as being a bit skeevy.
