Released under Niue's long-running Disney licensing arrangement, this piece commemorates the 1983 animated short that marked Mickey Mouse's return to theatrical releases after a 30-year absence — and Disney's first direct adaptation of Dickens. The short was notably the debut of Ratigan voice actor Vincent Price in a Disney production, though his character here was Scrooge's nephew's friend, not the villain he'd later voice in The Great Mouse Detective.
Wait — I need to fact-check that. Vincent Price was not in Mickey's Christmas Carol. Let me not include unverified cast details.Released under Niue's long-running Disney licensing arrangement, this piece commemorates the 1983 animated short that marked Mickey Mouse's return to theatrical releases after roughly a 30-year absence from cinemas. The short was also notable for being one of Alan Young's earliest prominent reprisals of Scrooge McDuck, a role he'd continue voicing for decades.
