Mr. Magoos Christmas Carol was the first-ever animated holiday special created for television. Review: Be sure to get the UNCUT MAGOO CHRISTMAS CAROL that is a 2004 release, not the edited down 2011 release! - Just as there are different DVD versions of the silent NOSFERATU vampire movie with the KINO DVD version being at least one of the best DVD copies of this old classic horror film with a great original composed music score, so there is more then one DVD version of this classic Christmas favorite! I only just found out that MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS CAROL was the first made for TV Christmas special and so it began a long list of Christmas favorites from Rankin Bass's RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED RHEINDEER, A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS, HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS and so on and so on. I recorded this special last year on to DVD with my DVD recorder off an NBC broadcast. But when I played it back I was dissapointed because all the min. of Mr. Magoo driving his car to Broadway to play his Scrooge role in a theater and the gags showing his near sightedness messing up the play's directer were cut out! This has been an increasing problem when modern TV show old programs that come from a time when there were much less commercials! Even the SIMPSONS have been a victim of this when episodes of that series are rerun in the early evening on FOX network! THE SIMPSONS started out with episodes that were 24 min. long without the commercials. But as the ads increased the episodes decreased in length to 21 min. So the older episodes were edited down for increased advertising! So it's only on DVD sets that you get all the episodes uncut! When I spotted the MAGOO CHRISTMAS CAROL on DVD on TCM SHOP website I thought I would get it uncut, but TCM admitted that their recording was missing the Broadway framing that showed Magoo was performing a Broadway play! TCM said," There are no existing versions showing this framing device!" But wait, when I discovered the same special title was advertised on desertcart.com I discovered that another MAGOO CHRISTMAS CAROL DVD with a different cover and a longer running time exists! It's a 2004 DVD release sold by sellers on the desertcart site that IS NOT the 2011 edited down release! This dvd 1 disc set has a scowling, angry Magoo as Scrooge on the cover in close up with the Cratchet family shown below him. This older DVD has the complete U.P.A. special with the Broadway gags and a remastered picture with vibrant colour! The cover also says the special is 60 min. long. The edited Dvd cover says 52 min. long! There's also a Magoo cartoon short with Magoo meeting Gerald Mc Boing Boing. And Gerald is back to his talking with just sound effects! It's as Tiny Tim that Gerald actually spoke in english! The U.P.A. team must have thought of the cartoon short: STAGE DOOR MAGOO which showed Magoo performing in a stage opera for the theater background of MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS CAROL. (See my review of MAGOO'S THEATRICAL SHORTS on desertcart.com) Anyway getting this dvd was very satisfying and nostalgic! The remastered colour brings out the bright, vivid colour textures in the 2D backrounds that became a trademark of U.P.A 's modern art design and it shows their ability to be able to say a lot visually with very little detail! It's an interesting contrast to the beautifully detailed Richard William's A CHRISTMAS CAROL special which in my opinion, is the most incredible hand drawn animated Christmas special I have ever seen!! It's hand drawn animation is a spectacular version of the detailed illustrations that illustrated early books of Dicken's CHRISTMAS CAROL! The characters look like Daumier caracatures in exquisite detail! Check out this video on You Tube to see what I mean! I want this special on DVD so much!!! Are you listening CLASSIC MEDIA?!! Interesting that Mr. Magoo's portrayal of Scrooge brings him back full circle to his being a crotchety old coot in his first short RAGTIME BEAR! So if you want this special as it was originally shown get the "Bah Humbug!" expression Magoo Scrooge cover DVD NOT the smiling Magoo Scrooge cover! I got mine for $19.00 plus $ 7.00 expedited shipping from seller california books! I LOVE the ending of the special with Magoo taking a bow with his back to the audience and when he brought out the play directer his foot got tangled in the backdrop ropes which caused the backrounds to fall CRASH on the directer as the directer said, " OH NO!!!" Mr. Magoo got the last word as he said,"Oh Magoo ! You've DONE IT AGAIN! You've brought the house down!!" This part IS MISSING from the 2011 release!! Review: Never Broadcast On TV - I rarely see this broadcast on TV if ever at all, this is a good way to watch. This is one of the best animated specials along with Rudolph, Frosty and Santa Clause is Coming to Town. Has several memorable songs. I was happy to find this on desertcart ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005BYBZPY | | Actors | Jack Cassidy, Jim Backus, Morey Amsterdam, Paul Frees, Royal Dano | | Best Sellers Rank | #122,703 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #9,069 in Kids & Family DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (3,340) | | Director | Abe Levitow | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Animated, Color, Dolby, Full Screen, NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | November 4, 2014 | | Run time | 52 minutes | | Studio | Universal Pictures Home Entertainment | | Writers | Barbara Chain | ## Product Details - **Format:** Animated, Color, Dolby, Full Screen, NTSC - **Genre:** Kids & Family - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 1 ## Images ![Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Sw9Rt9JiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be sure to get the UNCUT MAGOO CHRISTMAS CAROL that is a 2004 release, not the edited down 2011 release! *by J***1 on May 10, 2014* Just as there are different DVD versions of the silent NOSFERATU vampire movie with the KINO DVD version being at least one of the best DVD copies of this old classic horror film with a great original composed music score, so there is more then one DVD version of this classic Christmas favorite!
