How do I describe that my ideal Scrooge McDuck voice is for David Tennant to possess Alan Young so he could use his vocal cords

1936-1944.

Alan Young was Canada's first true comedian. Up to that point, only gentle humorists or hacks doing stolen material appeared on Canadian airwaves.

Alan Young, then known as Angus Young, worked for CJOR in Vancouver. He did dozens of impressions and wrote his own scripts He was the first comedian of his era to write all his own material.

CBC Radio brought him to Toronto where his program was lauded as "the first CBC comedy show that managed to pry more than a tired chuckle from the … radio listener."

The Great Mouse Detective (1986) is a charming animated film that cleverly adapts Arthur Conan Doyle's detective stories into a mouse-sized world. The film features the clever and courageous Basil of Baker Street as he matches wits with the villainous Ratigan. The fun fact about it being beaten by "An American Tail" (1986) at the box office adds an interesting historical context. While "The Great Mouse Detective" might not have been the blockbuster success, it has gained appreciation for its clever storytelling and memorable characters, standing as a hidden gem in Disney's animation history.

A Christmas Carol Holiday Season: "Mickey's Christmas Carol" (1983 animated short)

This 25-minute Christmas Carol was a landmark for the Walt Disney Company in several ways. First of all, it was the first theatrical Mickey Mouse cartoon released since the 1950s. Secondly it marks the voice acting debut of Wayne Allwine as Mickey Mouse and Alan Young as Scrooge McDuck – characters they would voice until their respective deaths in 2009 and 2016 – as well as the last time Donald Duck was voiced by his original actor, Clarence "Ducky" Nash.

The cartoon's premise is simple: A Christmas Carol starring Disney's iconic animal characters. Scrooge McDuck stars as his own namesake, Ebenezer Scrooge, with Mickey Mouse as Bob Cratchit, and Scrooge's "real-life" nephew Donald Duck as Fred. Goofy is cast as a uniquely clumsy, comical version of Marley's Ghost, while the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future are portrayed by Jiminy Cricket, Willie the Giant from Mickey and the Beanstalk, and (spoiler alert) Peg-Leg Pete. Daisy Duck appears as young Scrooge's fiancée Isabelle (as she's named here), Minnie Mouse makes a silent cameo appearance as Mrs. Cratchit, and the supporting and background roles consist of many familiar figures from Disney's classic Silly Symphonies and animated features.

Predictably, the story is retold in a concise, abbreviated way. Christmas Past omits Scrooge's childhood, Christmas Present consists only of visiting the Cratchits, and Christmas Future just shows Scrooge two graves, Tiny Tim's and his own. And for both comic and dramatic effect, the whole story is slightly exaggerated. Scrooge's villainy is cranked up: he only gives Bob half of Christmas Day off, without pay, and praises Jacob Marley for having "robbed from the widows and swindled the poor." The Cratchits' Christmas dinner consists of a bird literally as small as a canary. And at the climax (recalling Scrooge of 1970), Scrooge falls into his own grave toward a coffin from which hellish fire spews. But of course the ending is happy, as the redeemed Scrooge indulges the Cratchit children with toys and makes Bob his new partner.

Not all Dickens lovers will enjoy such a cartoonish retelling, but to me at least, it has enough charm to justify its lasting popularity. Even intertwined with slapstick and exaggeration, the story's emotions can still be felt: the brief, silent scene involving Tiny Tim's death, with a tearful Mickey/Bob placing Tim's crutch against his tombstone, is especially poignant. The cast of both new and veteran voice actors makes the most of their roles, the warm and colorful animation is of the quality we expect from Disney, and the main musical theme, "Oh What A Merry Christmas Day," is a sweet, memorable melody.

This cartoon can't replace a faithful adaptation of the book, but as a warm, funny, engaging Christmas Carol for children, it's a classic.

Long after his well-known role on the TV series Mr. Ed, Alan Young became the voice of Scrooge McDuck for many years. He also provided the voice of Flaversham the toy maker in The Great Mouse Detective (1986) and had a live action role in The Cat From Outer Space (1978).
