Mickey's Christmas Carol

                                        Mickey's Christmas Carol. 

• Based on the Charles Dickens novel, only with a Disney twist.
  
  In dreary London, on Christmas Eve, miserly Scrooge goes 
• to work in his counting house, where also resides his 
• only employee, Bob Cratchit. Through the course of the cold 
• workday, Scrooge is visited by several people. The first is his 
• nephew Fred, bring joyous tidings of the season, which warms 
• Cratchit's heart, but infuriates Scrooge. Fred has come to invite 
• Scrooge for Christmas dinner, but Scrooge declines. The next 
• visitors are two gentlemen collecting funds to help the poor. 
• Scrooge verily turns them away without any generosity. As the 
• day ends, Scrooge allows Cratchit's wish to have half of 
• Christmas day off, but demands that he be on time the day after. 
• After closing the counting house, Scrooge heads to his own 
• home. At the front door to his home, he is shocked when the 
• doorknocker seems to take on the form of his former partner, 
• Jacob Marley. Scrooge is later shocked when upon entering his 
• bed chambers, the spirit of his long-dead partner appears before 
• him, wrapped in chains as punishment for robbing widows and 
• swindling the poor during his life. Marley cautions Scrooge that 
• this same fate awaits him, and that he will then be visited later 
• that night by three spirits. Scrooge cautiously goes to bed, and is 
• soon awoken by the first spirit, The Ghost of Christmas Past. The 
• spirit takes Scrooge back to happier times, when he was 
• employed by a man named Fezziwig. The spirit shows Scrooge a 
• glimpse of a once happy Christmas party, where he was 
• introduced to a lovely young woman named Isabelle. The scene 
• then dissolves to Scrooge's counting house, where 10 years after 
• the meeting of Isabelle, Scrooge has grown to care more for 
• money than her, and after foreclosing on Isabelle's cottage, she 
• leaves him forever. Scrooge is returned to his bed chambers to 
• ponder this, when he is then visited upon by The Ghost of 
• Christmas Present, who then shows Scrooge a vision of Bob 
• Cratchit's family sitting down to a small Christmas dinner. Of the 
• family, Scrooge is drawn to Cratchit's son, Tiny Tim, who relies 
• on a crutch to walk. Even though the meal is meager, Tim still 
• sees no reason why they should not thanks Scrooge for the meal, 
• since he is Bob's employer. The spirit then cautions Scrooge that 
• Tim is ill, and that if things do not get better, he will die. Scrooge 
• is then confronted by The Ghost of Christmas Future, who takes 
• him to a graveyard, where the Cratchit's have come to visit Tiny 
• Tim's grave. Scrooge is incensed by this, but then grows even 
• more shocked when he finds his own grave, freshly dug. The 
• spirit then proceeds to throw Scrooge into the grave, as the old 
• miser promises to change. Scrooge then wakes up in his bed 
• chambers, and finds that Christmas day has come. Rushing out 
• into the streets, Scrooge encounters the two men from the day 
• before, and eagerly donates 100 gold pieces to their charity. 
• Scrooge also find his nephew Fred, and tells him that he'll be 
• joining him for Christmas dinner, to the shock and delight of the 
• young man Scrooge then finally pays a visit to Cratchit, arriving 
• with a sack of toys for the children, and the promise of making 
• Bob a partner in his business, and increasing his salary.
