• Awesome Music: Oh What a Merry Christmas Day.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Try watching the scene of Mickey at the cemetary after Wayne Allwine's death.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Goofy plays the ghost of Jacob Marley in his attempt to warn Scrooge about what will happen if he keeps being greedy. In one episode of Goof Troop ("Wrecks, Lies, and Videotape"), Goofy poses as a ghost to warn Pete about what will happen if he doesn't change his ways. Sound familiar?
• Nightmare Fuel: The Ghost of Christmas Future is a very sinister-looking Pete, who throws Scrooge into his own grave, and then laughs evilly while Scrooge desperately grips onto the walls of the grave while red smoke and flames rise out of his coffin.

Scrooge: "Spirit-- Whose lonely grave is this?" GoCF:"Why, yours, Ebenezer-- The richest man in the cemetery!" (Evil Laugh)

• • You read that right. Out of all the adaptations of A Christmas Carol out there, one of the only ones with Scrooge falling into hell is the Mickey Mouse version.
• Older Than They Think: This one is an adaptation of Disneyland Records' 1974 audio musical entitled An Adaptation of Dickens' Christmas Carol, except that the first and third ghosts in the animated adaptation (Jiminy Cricket as Past, Pete as Future) are quite different characters than in the audio musical (Merlin as Past, the Evil Queen/Witch as Future).
• Tear Jerker: While most adaptations show the Cratchits trying to be strong in the future where Tim dies, this version shows them barely being able to hold back their tears.
• What the Hell, Casting Agency?: Goofy as Jacob Marley. Who can imagine sweet, lovable Goofy as a man who once embezzled from the less fortunate? Some could excuse that with the Rule of Funny that scene applies though.
  • Daisy Duck as Scrooge's past love is also a little odd, given the age difference between the actual characters, unless you take into account that Young!Scrooge's design is based off of Donald Duck's appearance from the 1950 short Crazy Over Daisy.
  • Donald Duck as Fred Honeywell. Granted, Donald is Scrooge's nephew, but there's something odd about seeing Donald as such a cheery character that doesn't get angry once.
  • It's actually very refreshing to this troper!
• The Woobie: Mickey. He loses a family member to an illness, for crying out loud!
