December 8 - Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol

So I found myself watching Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol and remembered only brief flashes of it from childhood. Magoo is an actor in a stage production of the Dickens Classic set in the UPA style of the 1960s. I believe it is the only version of the story I've seen where the order of the ghosts are switched around. The change, where the ghost of Christmas present arrives first, really seems to change the growth on Scrooge's part. Interesting, but less about the welfare of others and more about himself.

It is 50 years old this year and is generally regarded as the first animated for television holiday special.

Check it out if you have not seen it.
