One of the things we love best about Mickey’s Christmas Carol is seeing our beloved characters in a different roles. This got us to thinking… how would we cast a remake, if we couldn’t use any of the original characters? Here are our ideas:

Bob Cratchit



Bob Cratchit is a kind, genuine guy who loves his family and just wants to work hard. We’ve seen Woody’s devotion to Andy, and to the rules of toy-dom, and we know he’d be a perfect fit. Besides, we know this guy can open a movie.

Tiny Tim



For this remake, we’re making Tiny Tim a girl (mixing it up!). We really didn’t set out to do this, but when we were discussing tiny, cute, lovable characters, Boo rose to the top of our list.

Ebenezer Scrooge



Like Scrooge, Carl went from grump from to most heartwarming guy in town. Just thinking about Carl delivering presents and food to the Cratchits on Christmas Day gives us the warm fuzzies.

Fred



Happy-go-lucky and full of joy, Fred doesn’t let his miserly uncle get him down. Who has a more positive attitude than Fix-It Felix? He gets this role for sure.

Isabelle



As you may remember, the ghost of Christmas Past reminds Scrooge of his former lady-love, Isabelle. Isabelle was a loving girlfriend to Scrooge, but when his greed became too much, she called it quits. We know that Jane would never put up with that, and she’s such a wonderful person, the audience would totally realize that Scrooge messed up big time on this one.

Mr. Fezziwig



Generally regarded as one of the kindest guys around, Mr. Fezziwig was warm, kind, and joyful. Sulley checks out on all three points.

Jacob Marley



Like Jacob Marley, Kuzco came to regret his selfish, greedy ways. Unlike Jacob Marley, Kuzco did it relatively early in life. (If only Jacob Marley had run into Pacha, right?)

The Ghost of Christmas Past



The ghost of Christmas Past is typically older, kind, and extremely wise. Grandmother Willow is all that and more. She’s kind, but firm about what matters in life, and she would be able to show Scrooge the error of his ways in a loving fashion.

The Ghost of Christmas Present



Jolly? Check. Fun-loving? Check. Thrives in winter environment? Check. Olaf is clearly perfect for this role.

The Ghost of Christmas Future



The darkest and scariest of the three ghosts, the Ghost of Christmas Future shows Scrooge not only the loss of Tiny Tim, but the loss of his own life. We feel like nobody could relay these dark fortunes like Oogie Boogie, and he’d probably have a pretty good time doing it, if we know him.

Who would you cast in our fictional remake?
