Did You Know?
| Trivia | Originally, Alan Young was not considered for Scrooge, despite having played it in the album recording. Reportedly, it was because Walt Disney Productions believed he would not agree to do a voice for animated film. However, when Young learned about the film in production from a friend preparing to audition for the lead, he contacted the film company to request an audition. The resulting audition was successful and Young learned about the studio's reason for not contacting him. In reaction, Young responded, "Hey, I worked in television for five years with a talking horse. At this point in my career, nothing's beneath me." As it happened, Young was praised for the role and continued to voice Scrooge McDuck throughout his life. See more » |
| Goofs | When Jacob Marley (Goofy) tells Scrooge that he will be visited by three spirits, he holds up two fingers instead of three. This is more than likely part of Jacob Marley having the same humorous traits as Goofy. See more » |

| Quotes |
Marley:
Ebenezer, remember when I was alive I robbed from widows and swindled the poor? Scrooge: Yes, and all in the same day. Oh, you had class, Jacob. Marley: Ha-ha-yuk, yup! Er, no, no! I was wrong. And so, as punishment, I'm forced to carry these heavy chains through eternity! Maybe even longer. See more » |
