Even though Mickey's Christmas Carol was animated like the earliest Disney films, it sure had a lot of young animators. Notably Burny Mattinson, Mark Henn, and Glen Keane.

Not to mention John Lassetter, one of the founders of Pixar and former director, executive producer at both Disney and Pixar and creative consultat at the Disney Parks.

R.I.P. Alan Young (Scrooge), Eddie Carroll (Jiminy Cricket), Wayne Allwine (Mickey), Clarence Nash (Donald, who, I believe, gave his last full length movie preformance here) & Hal Smith (Goofy). Also, kind of strange to hear Wayne talk about a possible 4th Mickey, especially when this is now the case.

In 1983, it was 30 years since the last theatrical Mickey Mouse cartoon was made, and now it is 30 years since Mickey's Christmas Carol was made. The Simple Things may have been the last of the original run (hand inking, shorts department, Disney and the old generation still alive and such), but at least Mickey's Christmas Carol was still cel animation and 100% analog. That alone makes it a little special.

RIP Burny Mattinson. One of the true keepers of the Disney flame through the end of one golden age of Disney animation and the reign of two more.

[@IgnoramusSA]

The animation in this movie is fantastic, top notch. I would have really liked to learn more about the background artists as well because they scenery and design in it is really well done.

[@Musicradio77Network]

This special was featured on the 1984 VHS release of "Mickey's Christmas Carol". It was never included as part of the bonus feature on the DVD or Blu-Ray release of the film. I saw this when I was a kid when we rented the movie at a video store.

[@disneyfan85]

+Musicradio77 Television Network It CAN, however, be found on the Mickey In Color Part 2 DVD, which was released as part of the Disney Treasures line.

[@Launchpad05]

There was an unofficial 4th Mickey. Peter Renaday, who voiced Micke on record albums like 'Mousercise', and 'Splashdance'. He would later go on to voice Master Slpinter in the original 'Ninja Turtles' series.

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

Upon seeing Mickey's Christmas Carol for the first time, I truly thought it was made back when Walt Disney was still alive. It looks too old to be from the 1980's.

[@KendrickHarrisKenfinity]

We're always "rich" with loving Christmas and this deep dive into our clever re-telling with the wonderful cast of classic characters. And it's the best to connect each animator and voice actor to their specific character/timeless-personality.🎯✏🐭🦆🧑🏼‍🦰🎥❄ Stay safe everyone!

[@djangoflores7413]

If Disney made more crossover films similar to Mickey's Christmas Carol. There should be a way to convince Disney to do something similar to that and have it produced in hand drawn. There should also be a petition that can help make it happen someday.

[@kacmac2340]

[@mevb]

Yeah, Wayne was right that there would be fourth person to fill in for Mickey's voice and that's Bret Ivan. If he ony knew that a fifth person would do it at the same time, being Chris Diamantopoulos but only in the modern Mickey shorts. Think it's weird why they just didn't use Bret Ivan in everything that has to do with Mickey like Bill Farmer for Goofy and Tony Aselmo for Donald Duck, I mean neither of them have a stand-by second voice actor unlike Mickey.

[@saraalexander1875]

Chris D isn't a stand-by second-stringer -- Brett Iwan does the gentler or more steady Mickey of Playhouse and Roadster Racers while Chris D does the wackier performances needed for the Rudish-directed shorts
