Trivia
The producers wondered if Jim Backus could handle the singing required. Briefly, they considered using Robert Goulet for Scrooge's singing voice. See more »Goofs
The show mentions the Cratchits not having a Christmas tree. Although Christmas trees had been introduced by 1843, the year in which "A Christmas Carol" was published and presumably takes place, the use of the tree in homes had not yet become a widespread custom in England. See more »Quotes

I join the many other writers who remember and treasure "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" with great fondness. Like others, I remember seeing it on its first night 40 years ago. Indeed, a time that seems simpler and nostalgic now. This week,I viewed a VHS tape copy I received and was really charmed and impressed by its quality. The animation is sweet, gentle and from an earlier time. The story adaptation from Dickens is excellent. The concept of Magoo on Broadway performing the "Carol" is really inventive and works well. What I strongly recommend to all is the outstanding and, at times, poignant music There is music and lyric here to equal and surpass much more famous shows. I hope that this wonderful treasure can be re-discovered and enjoyed by a new generation in the years to come. It deserves to be remembered and appreciated.
