Out of all the adaptations of ''Literature/AChristmasCarol'' out there, one of very few with Scrooge being sent ''plunging into {{hell}}'' is the ''Franchise/MickeyMouse version''.

* Right after finishing his day at work, probably past midnight, Scrooge goes back home walking alone through the dark and snowy streets of London. When he finally arrives to his house and starts unlocking the door, we receive a close-up of the lion-faced door knob, which suddenly starts transforming into Goofy-Jacob Marley's face while throwing a ghostly and mournful "Scroooge". [[MoodWhiplash Though the humor kicked in when Jacob screamed "Ow!" when Scrooge squeezed his nose, accompanied by a comical "honk".]]

* In the inspirational record adaptation, the Ghost of Christmas Future is played by the wicked queen (in her old hag form) from ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''. The original record includes a storybook, which features three images of Scrooge with Wicked Queen!Ghost of Christmas Future, the first of which has her ''appearing in his bedroom''. Right after he'd seen what was happening to Bob's family, no less.
