Christmas Movie Review: **^Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (1962)
This is a 1962 made for TV animated feature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6Xhl0M0eXs This is the Christmas Carol, as portrayed by Mr. Magoo (Jim Backus (of Gilligan's Island)). It starts with a silly piece of Mr. Magoo arriving late for his Broadway performance. He says he never misses an entrance, even though he is half an hour late. Mr. Magoo is miserly, not sharing coal with Bob Cratchit. He makes several jokes about his sight, and then the ghost jokes about his sight as well. Mr. Magoo is too cheap to purchase glasses. The ghosts come in a different order, Marley, then Christmas present before Christmas past and then Christmas yet-to-be. The music is entertaining, but not that memorable. Antics about his sight is what makes Mr. Magoo. He shakes the turkey's hand, talks to the horse and the snowmen, thinks a statue is his reflection, No nephew in this show, and I missed him.
