Christmas Carol

[Darin Reid]

Hi, Since I've been on this list since it's beginning, but I haven't posted
since then either (:-), I'll re-introduce myself:
 
My name is Darin Reid, I'm a 22 yr. old college senior, living in 
New York City.  I, I, I'm a duckaholic :) .

My point:  Disney's use of Scrooge in _Mickey's Christmas Carol_ is not wrong.
Nor is it immoral, or even a bad thing.  It is simply a case of disney using
one of it's characters in a film outside of the regular disney spectrum.

They never said "Hey, this is Uncle Scrooge!",  the y said "Hey, this is
Ebenezer Scrooge".  I feel that Disney has a right to use the characters it 
owns in anyway they want.  IMHO, they can't stop making movies and shows
because of our sense of "classic duckness".  If companies did this then
the entire comic industry would collapse.  

What I'm trying to say is.  Hey, we like the classic Barks ducks, and 
especially $crooge, but you just can't realistically expect Disney to use him
in that one way.
