Notes
Goofs:
Continuity: After Scrooge wakes up from the Ghost of Christmas Future, when he tries to find his way out of the bed curtain, there is no curtain behind him, but in the next shot, there is a curtain behind him. (more)

Trivia:
Of all the songs on the original album, only "Oh What A Merry Christmas Day" made it to the animated cartoon. The rest of them -- including one sung by Ebenezer Scrooge that was called "How Christmas Ought To Be" -- were all dropped for some reason, and the lyrics were rendered into normal dialog. (more)

Quotes:
Ebenezer Scrooge: Spirit, whose lonely grave is this?
[gasps as the ghost strikes a match, illuminating the tombstone: it reads "EBENEZER SCROOGE"]
Ghost of Christmas Future: [Pulls back his hood, revealing himself to the viewers as Pete] Why, yours, Ebenezer! The richest man in the cementery! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
