Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol - Bob Cratchit Dinner and Song

[@ronaldszudy8184]

This is a classic that should be remembered and celebrated.

[@twc3546]

The songs are wonderful. The meaning of this tune that the love of this family for each other overcomes their poverty. Plus the one where Scrooge as a boy, abandoned at his school, must endure the sting of intense loneliness. Heavy stuff, but simply and beautifully handled. The schoolroom song can still bring a lump in the throat as it did 60 years ago

[@YouCallThataKnife253]

Every so often, I find myself yelling out, _"And razzleberry dressing!"_

[@ryanb6257]

wazzle berry graby has been a meme in my family for years 😂😂

[@Rob-vk3ss]

[@WCaron23001]

I am glad that so many people love this, I no longer see this as a guilty pleasure, but a real treasure.

[@goldenboi778]

This always makes me cry..I love this movie.

[@sportster88]

This tv special was just a simple animation but the characters, the script, the spirit of the message and the music made it an unforgettable classic. I grew up watching it every year but took it for granted at the time. I think Mr Dickens would have enjoyed it.

[@LynnRoseLal]

One of my favorite holiday movies. This song still represents the Christmas Spirit.

[@brandonortiz8056]

When you don't appreciate what you have, come back to this song.

[@barbarajames2931]

My favorite Christmas Carol was always starring Mr magoo as the scrooge.

[@steveg2798]

Mine, too.

[@jensmom604]

This was a childhood favorite, along with Charlie Brown, Rudolf, Frosty.

[@hifrommike2120]

Don't forget the Grinch!

Jim Backus was brilliant as Mr. Magoo & Scrooge.

[@maximusw01]

Bob Cratchit has a beautiful voice

[@northheadnovelties]

Jack Cassidy was the voice of Bob Cratchit

[@a.j.vaskunas9875]

Love Jack Cassidy. Now listening to him I recognise it.

[@trixie8009]

​@@northheadnoveltiesyou mean David Casidy's father?

[@sirmojo4537]

The late,great Jack Cassidy voiced both the speaking and singing of Cratchett.

[@commandernelson1584]

Jule Styne was a brilliant song writer. This is as good as anything on broadway.

[@grokeffer6226]

Great melody. Lyrics, too.

[@timirish2563]

And Jack Cassidy (Bob Cratchit) was a Broadway leading man in those days. He really sells this song.

[@roseannschweikert2960]

I love every song in this cartoon version of a classic tale I agree this Broadway quality ❤

[@dbbbarney]

Remember the days when viewing these specials was an event. Three TV networks, limited broadcasting time, no video recording media. When this or anything Charlie Brown came on, it was truly an event not to be missed or you were SOL for a year. Now, being able to pop in a DVD and see it any time really makes the kids today take this stuff for granted. It's a shame.

[@MrRihmo]

yup this my Favorite it wasn't Christmas without this Movie

[@michellebaird9537]

[@lisaschultz6684]

[@Mimi-cg2cw]

I'm blk f 70 yrs old and I watch this every year. I love this cartoon version of A Christmas Carol. It's heartwarming...I love the songs

[@Jangobadass]

One the all time best songs in a Christmas Special ever. It represents a big part of Christmas is about. Thanks for uploading! :)

[@hifrommike2120]

I associate the 1960s holiday TV season (from Thanksgiving to New Year's) w/ the annual broadcast of THE WIZARD OF OZ. I just saw that film again, & as always, cried like a baby. This one brings a tear to my eye as well. 🙂🙃

[@JimBeamFiend53]

for those wondering, razzleberry is a combination of raspberry and blackberry. It was created entirely because of this christmas special.

[@robertward5338]

It is my favorite one too, and I cry each time a watch it.

[@Rob-vk3ss]

So do I.

I loved this as a kid, but... has anybody noticed that the one child looks strangely like George Jetson? xD

[@timirish2563]

Tiny Tim is played by UPA's Gerald Mc Boing Boing.

[@hurricanesteve65]

Yes, just watch the entire "play" with my older sister

[@FLStelth]

George got around.

[@TJ3sticks]

Funny you should say that! Lol

[@davestelling]

I just took note of that, too - lol...

[@janetcosgrove7043]

I miss seeing this during the holiday season. It is my absolute favorite. I was 8 when it first was aired.

[@tedperry6466]

a local tv station used to air it all the time throughout the '70s and '80s, but for some reason stopped it. At least they started to air their yule log again.

[@angelgrl56]

My absolute favorite Christmas Movie! I want me some of that Razzleberry dressing!!!

[@bucketsdoesstuff2824]

I'm a 2000s baby, but my brain still somehow repeatedly goes "AND RAZZLEBERRY DRESSING!" for no reason whatsoever. I was raised right.

[@nutballgazette]

This was the 1st version I ever saw as a little kid, I still love this version.

[@milton112]

Thurston Howell III as Mr. Magoo.

[@lunalgaleo1991]

IN-deed!

[@buffymcmuffin5361]

Thanks for the tip!

[@vincentfranklin17]

Jim Bacus, actually. He played Thurston Howell, and voiced Mr. Magoo.

[@408knw]

This masterpiece was a regular part of my family's Christmases back in the 1960s (during the days when we had to wait for it to be shown on network TV -- and then wait, again, until "next year...") I'd say that Dickens' message and call to repentance and mercy is powerfully presented -- but in the style of a real Broadway musical, with songs by Broadway greats Jule Styne and Bob Merrill. Why don't they show it on TV anymore? We wouldn't expect to find a bright diamond in a garbage can, would we?

[@worthyambition]

I love this movie. So wonderful. Always anticipate watching it every christmas.

This is one of my favorite versions of the Christmas Carol story; this and Mickey's Christmas Carol.

[@Woodbi1222]

Thank God they have this on DVD. I never see it on any cable stations anymore. One of the best.

[@timirish2563]

Jack Cassidy was a great singing Bob Cratchit. He gets the show-stopping tune to sing.

[@jodyjohnson2496]

God bless us everyone

[@sportster88]

It's amazing how a simple cartoon can bring back such tender memories of so many years past. The people who created the soundtrack were awesome! I remember getting scared during the 'Dispicable' song when the background turned black & all I could see were their mouths singing. I also remember feeling so sad for young Scrooge during the "I'm All Alone in The World" song. I think Charles Dickens would have enjoyed seeing this version of his work. It conveyed his message so well!

[@vincentvorse]

0:47 Bob didn't seem at all surprised that the door just opened for him all by itself

[@alexisblake2634]

That’s no wonder

[@SargeantPrepper]

well its a play, the ghost of Christmas present actor opened it randomly on time

[@CapeCodLindsey]

Makes me cry every time I see it. I was Bob Cratchit in my fifth grade production of A Christmas Carol the year before this came out. An all time classic. I scour cable every year hoping it will be reprised, but alas, no luck. I have to get it on DVD. The best version because it has so many wonderful songs (All Alone in the World etc.).

[@nauort23]

Gerald McBoingboing should've won an oscar for this--or at least a grammy for this song.

[@Mikado8848]

I don't think they ever admitted it was him.

[@blkpanther11]

[@starey1]

2 things I've always wondered about this: what the hell is razleberry dressing and razleberry gravy? And woofljelly cake? LOL

[@starey1]

a classic special! I have it on VHS and watch it every year. Shame it doesn't get shown on TV anymore. (but then again, if it was stations would shred it to ribbons with commercial breaks every 5 to 10 minutes that show 6 commercials)

[@ikmarchini]

Dickens knew everything.

[@kathleencraigie4703]

This little animated version this classic story was how I first came to know and LOVE "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" ever since I was a little girl.... and I still remember it so fondly.....

[@emilioamaro2790]

RIP Gilbert Gottfried

[@texfam]

Great animated production and the songs won awards at the time. Who'd have guessed magoo had it in him?

[@tedperry6466]

mmmmm, razzleberry gravy on roast beast is the best. But unlike Tiny Tim, who prefers razzleberry dressing. I love an andouille sausage and apple, cornbread dressing.

[@TheEverythinghorse]

My favorite Christmas movie EVER! :D

[@dbbbarney]

I was surprised nobody had posted it sooner. Great memories for me too.

NBC will broadcast this classic on Sat. Dec. 22, 2012, marking the 50th anniversary of the original broadcast. NBC hasn't broadcasted the program since 1967.

[@conotron70]

Scrooge was freakin' hilarious in this. He reminded me of every cranky old man in the world.

Gerald's original theatrical outings were by this same company. If anything, it was IN Gerald's contract to do whatever UPA cast him in back then. (Ha! I bet you were just making a joke about Tiny Tim looking like Gerald! But it's actually him!)

[@commandernelson1584]

nauort23 And in the 19th century when puddings were very popular. Not a pudding like jello, it was more like a meal item. The were made from fat and meat or other thing and boiled in a bag for hours. Lots of videos on them. A series on 18th century cooking has a few good ones.

@@tedperry6466 all things considered, Scrooge was a good employer by the standards of the time, even if he was a miser who only paid so much.

Scrooge was a jerk to work for, no doubt. An employer has to provide adequate working conditions, such as heat. Scrooge allowed Bob only one piece of coal. So in my book, he's a bad employer

[@tedperry6466]

but back to my main point. Scrooge had a great employer with Fezziwig, yet he still left to better his situation. Why couldn't have Bob C. done the same. Razzleberry dressing. Wuffle jelly cake and a tree are all luxary items. But not having a hen for Christmas is really bad. Bob is a terrible provider for his family!!!
