[edit] Mmm

But the original end did come to occur? Didn't it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.240.157.143 (talk • contribs)

I'm not sure I really understand your question, but if you mean "did it finish the same as the Dickens novel", yes it did, I think a plot has been avoided on the page to prevent duplication. Bob talk 09:27, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Scene In Hell and a few other things ...

I absolutely love the scene in hell. I saw it as a child in the mid-seventies with the hell scene in and yes, it was scary, but I was always disappointed when following television airings deleted that. I own the VHS, I need to get it on DVD. Since I saw this version of the movie before I ever read Charles Dickens' book, I was always disappointed by the book. Another thing I liked was Albert Finney's Scrooge saying "That what YOU are, an OLD POTATA!" to Jacob Marley (I misspelled potato on purpose to simulate how Scrooge said it.) I've found myself saying that to people in a joking way over the years and of course they usually don't know what the hell I am talking about. My family adopted a lot of lines from this movie of the years and incorporated it into our humor. One example is asking someone what day Christmas is and if the answer "December the 25th" we'd shout "Correct!" and break out into song "December the 25th my dear, December the 25th, the dearest day in all the yeeeeear, December the 25th." Another way to thank a person in our family was to start singing "Thank you very much." I have met many others who like this movie but few who embrace it the way my family did. I just wanted to write these comments to emphasize the impact this movie has made on some of us, and am also wondering if there are others who do similar things to what I have written here.

[edit] Uhh... The scene from Hell sounds familiar...

In the movie, "Mickey's Christmas Carol", Scrooge McDuck also goes to Hell and back. Can you explain why that's in both films? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Therussianlunchlady (talk • contribs) 16:08, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

• The Mickey Mouse version probably adopted that scene. To tell you the trurth Scrooge was greedy and Avarice is a deadly sin. Still, they should not be showing that in G rated movies. Hell is scary.--Angel David (talk) 01:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
