Saturday Morning Adventures: Mickey’s Christmas Carol

Welcome to Saturday Morning Adventures - ThePopBreak.com's audio
appreciation for all things animated.





What better way to celebrate the holidays than by talking about
the 40th Anniversary of the television debut of Mickey's
Christmas Carol. On December 10, 1984, Disney's Oscar-nominated
short film adaptation of Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol
premiered on NBC.





Pop Break's editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin is the host and is joined
by special guest Michelle Chapman (Roses & Rejections
Podcast) to discuss the special. The two wax poetic about seeing
the film for the first time as kids, how the film has aged over
the past 40 years, showing the special to their respective
children and why this is an elite version of the classic
Christmas tale.





They also tangent on how awful the Guy Pearce starring version of
the film was and the insidiousness of Cocomelon for some laughs.
They also discuss the shorts that have appeared before the film
and have a long conversation about all their favorite holiday
offerings at Disney World.
