Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol
''Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol'' is a musical adaptation of Charles Dickens's famous short story ''A Christmas Carol'' starring the character Mr. Magoo. Aside from the 1950 marionette special ''The Spirit of Christmas'', it was the first animated holiday program ever produced specifically for television, originally airing in December 1962, and the only one until the stop-motion ''Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer'' was first shown in December 1964. The special also inspired the 1964 TV series ''The Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo''. It featured the voice of Jim Backus as Magoo, with voice-over appearances by Paul Frees, Morey Amsterdam, Joan Gardner, and Jack Cassidy.
==Overview==
''Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol'' was produced by Henry G. Saperstein and the UPA animation studio in its declining days. Commissioned and sponsored by Timex, it first aired on NBC on December 18, 1962. Although the special led to the ''Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo'' television series, the studio ultimately found it could not adapt to the rigors of mass-producing cartoons for television.
The program was broadcast as a TV special many times during the Christmas season from the 1960s through the 1980s—though not always on NBC—before being released on VHS in 1994 and on DVD in 2001. The original 53-minute running time is often cut to make room for additional commercials, primarily by removing the framing device about Magoo himself. For the 2012 holiday season, NBC, which last telecast it in 1969, announced it would return the series to the air for the first time since the 1980s; the special aired on NBC on December 22, 2012 even though it was heavily edited for the addition of more commercials including opening and closing wraparounds scenes, the finale scene of the musical as well as the end credits and other crucial scenes being cut from broadcast. A scene remains missing from the DVD version that was included in the original television program. In the scene, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge to a large country home. In it we see Belle later in life.〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123179/reviews〕 Her husband and children come home, and it is obvious that they are a happy family getting ready for Christmas. Belle's husband remarks to Belle "I saw an old friend of yours in town today," i.e., Scrooge, and tells Belle how mean and unhappy he looked. Belle turns and stares at the snow falling outside the window and the tune from "Winter Was Warm" is reprised. This scene underlines the happiness that Scrooge missed out on, and also demonstrates the sense of loss that Belle still feels even though she lives such a good life. The CW acquired the broadcast rights to the special for the 2014 season.
