Released in 1983, Mickey’s Christmas Carol marked Disney’s triumphant return to theatrical animation after a 30-year hiatus. The short film reimagines Charles Dickens’ classic tale with Mickey, Scrooge McDuck, and other beloved Disney characters.
Willie the Giant appears as the Ghost of Christmas Present — his warm-hearted yet larger-than-life presence brought to life through the masterful artistry of Disney’s animators.
Each production cel from this film was hand-painted by studio artists and used in the creation of the final animation — meaning this is a unique, one-of-a-kind frame from the movie itself.
