What would an ephemera blog be without a few old Disney items? Here's a unique one: a 1983 Mickey's Christmas Carol Coloring Book (link to related eBay auctions) featuring Mickey, Scrooge, Goofy, and other Disney characters in scenes from the 25-minute movie featurette. The classic Disney animated characters played the familiar roles in an animated retelling of the Charles Dickens masterpiece.

What's especially nice about this example--from a collector's viewpoint--is none of the pages have been colored.

This rare coloring book was provided free with the purchase of any two jars of Orville Redenbacher products. The cover features Orville Redenbacher wishing everyone a merry Christmas.

What could be more wholesome than Disney's take on Dicken's holiday classic, popcorn, and Mickey Mouse?
