The VHS cut of the movie is GOLD. I’ll never understand why they felt the need to take out “When Love is Gone.” It’s such a jarring edit to make!

Movie poster of Mickey's Chrismas Carol. In the middle of a snowy town, Scrooge McDuck carrying a sack of gifts, Donald, and ghost Goofy (he's Marley) are going around the Christmas tree while Mickey and Minnie dance on the other side of it. Reaching from behind the houses, the giant ghost of Christmas past holds Mickey & Minnie's kid as he decorates the tree. Jiminy Cricket happily sits as the tree topper, holding his top hat out.

In this film, Michael Caine - an actor who has been accused of just phoning in his performances at times - delivers the best Scrooge on film. Better than any of them. Better even than Alastair Sim. He took the role seriously and delivered a fierce, true to life performance working with muppets.
