I used to see this around Thanksgiving and Christmas time in the early to mid. 1970s. It was a time when Christmas seemed magical. People were friendlier and everyone looked forward to new toys and bicycles. We didn't have computers or the internet. We looked forward to these Christmas holiday specials. On Christmas day everyone went outside and played. We showed each other our new toys and rode our new bikes and skateboards. I told my son and his friends , I'm proud to be a Baby Boomer!
This was one of the Best Christmas Classics. It's no longer shown on television. Glad that I was able to find it here. It lets us know that the Magic of this Season is undeniable even for such a time as this.
I remember watching this on chilly weekend afternoons in December way way back in the 1970s. Back then and to this day I still like this special's portrayal of Jacob Marley. He really looks like a tortured and tormented soul.
In England, this, and many other classic animated adaptions such as Journey to the Centre of the Earth were broadcast under the title Animated Classics. This was my fav as a child in the 1970s. I would scan the TV Times Christmas edition hoping to find it was on, Christmas wasn't the same if it wasn't.
In the 1970s, a local TV station aired animated specials on Saturday afternoons. This was always one of them. I looked forward to watching every year. It brings back happy memories of times go by. Merry Christmas, 2013
I loved these cartoons as a kid. I remember they use to show them on the weekends around holidays. I also remember them showing them on Thanksgiving afternoon. The music and animation is so dated now, but super cool in it's own special way.
Love this...brings back memories.As a child every Thanksgivings evening they played this on T.V. and it was sponsored by Kenner Toys. Channel 48 in Philadelphia if I remember right. This was such as treat to watch again after all these years.
It was Ch 10. It was presented by Kenner Toys. They did some other literary stories as well. Like "Mysterious Island" & "Master of the World" by Jules Verne and some others. Loved it.
@@robertsleeth861 Yes, I grew up in Staten Island and the New York area had this on WPIX, channel 11. This was part of the “Famous classic tales” series in the late ‘60’s throughout the ‘70’s, Kenner toys was a big sponsor. I like this version, they played it often on the weekends and they also had other classics on, great to be a kid back then, to enjoy and appreciate the simple things and fine programming we had back then.
I remember watching this version after a football game on Saturday afternoons I wish it would come out on DVD it’s the only version of this I don’t have on DVD
My first time to see this animated version. I love Charles Dickens and love "The Christmas Carol". This may become a tradition for me. thank you for posting the video.
The 70s were no different from any other decade, in terms of how much effort was put into creating entertainment. Some products received more effort than others. Others received very little. The same as every decade before and since.
The first version I ever saw as a small girl. Marley’s ghost scared me as did the others ( I was 4 or so), but it started my love of Christmas Carol. Merry Christmas to all!!
@@ericellis1481 - I do, also! Love the Christmas Carol, The best book, movie of all! Redemption is always possible for all of us humans, never too late to do good!🎄
This version of Christmas Carol and Santa Claus and the 3 bears will always be in my Christmas memories as a child growing up in the 80s just timeless classics!
This was the first version of A Christmas Carol I saw as a 5-year-old watching television in December 1969. A 45 minute cartoon of the Charles Dickens holiday classic. I thought animated specials like this would have been dead and buried in the past. Good to see it is not. Merry Christmas everyone and the best of the season to you all.
I watch this delightful Christmas tale around this time every year since it was posted. Thank you for having posted it. Lovely indeed. I'm soon to be 41 on December 23rd, and Yahweh God willing in Yeshua aka Jesus Name, I'd like to see it many eh' years to come. "Oh, tidings of comfort and joy!"
And scrooge was better than his word. he did it all that he said he would and more. And Tiny Tim who did not die he got well. Scrooge was like a second father he became as good a friend good as master, a Good as man, as the good old City ever known. And he knew how to keep Christmas well and so it's Tiny Tim observe
Darrell Russ me to , thought I would never see it again in remember seeing in the 1970s UK TV & then so a clip of it in 2012 I think it was a few days before Xmas that year on channel 4 early morning , didn't even no the realese year of it 1969 or the proper name , then just now ,as recommendation on my you tube account , looks so good & feels right compared other adaptions , you could try the Walt Disney Version with Jim carey its the CGI animated one , enjoy 😁
This version of Jacob Marley is so scary that he still scares me to this day. In fact he used to give me nightmares when I was younger. Imagine what he was like before he died. 😨😨😨
This version of Marley's ghost is great. It shows the tortured and tormented spirit bound with chains. The skeletal face made it eerie. Every Christmas this was a must see.
This sure brings back great memories of watching this at my grandparents house with my two brothers and sister in the 1970s when I was just a young kid. I remember watching this around Christmas, Davey and Goliath, and Hee Haw. This sure makes me miss my grandparents.
This is the one I was looking for, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I only saw this version once but I never forget it. This one was so creepy at the beginning, and I simply loved it! They really brought Scrooge to life.
This first aired on December 14, 1969 on CBS as part of the new Famous Classic Tales series. Each year, they aired a new FCT. The next year, on 11-1-1970, they did a doubleheader of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow & Rip Van Winkle, Washington Irving classics.
That is 100% correct. They also had a version of "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" and "The Count of Monte Cristo" When comparing with other Christmas Carol cartoons, such as the scary 1971 version shown on ABC network or the Mickey Mouse version of the 1980s, this 1969 cartoon has been forgotten similar to what happened to the "Mister McGoo's Christmas Carol" from 1962. What a pity.
@@Dimeropepe They also had a version of Mark Twain's The Prince And The Pauper and Jonathan Swift's Gulliver Travels. Remember we didn't have Boomerang or Cartoon Network back in the day. We watched cartoons... It was a change from old movies or sport shows back in the day.
@@shawnmalone9711 Yes, that is true. Cable television expansion was about to take off in 1970s, but they used to aired these cartoons on Channel 9 in the New York City area in the early 1970s. Nevertheless, the early days of The Cartoon Network (long before the introduction of the "Dexter's Lab" or "The Powerpuff Girls" of the late 1990s), were really awesome with the likes of "The Yogi Bear Show" or "Quickdraw McGraw".
"It is required of every man, that the spirit in him shall walk among his fellow man, and if he does not do this in life, he must do so in death." Hah... Unless he is a prologue and boo- ghosts before he is born. I love this version, we watched it as children.
If you ever attended the play, Marley's Christmas Carol, his soul is finally released after he and the spirits reform Scrooge. That is his only ticket out of what I consider purgatory. It basically tells the story from his point of view. Besides appearing to Scrooge as himself, he is also The Ghost of Christmas Present, but Scrooge doesn't know it. And another Ghost of the Past takes him back to his childhood, which was NOT happy.
@@mkl62 Than you for that. Dickens writing of The Christmas Carol was a rapid job but I think he intentionally left Marley's fate Marley's fate otherwise one would then have an audience wondering why everyone else was left in an unhappy afterlife and why there was a hell and why didn't everyone get to go to heaven and be reformed bit by bit over eternity. Dickens does touch on a sort of rebuke in that he implies people become more so themselves over time. As we age we become what we truly are more and more till the clay hardens. The premise of reform by a supernatural visit is rejected in Jesus parable of the rich man and Lazarus which makes me wonder if Dickens had been thinking of this parable with a different and happy ending.
@@joycekoch5746 Also, when Marley departs from Scrooge, he flies out of the window. Scrooge looks out and sees many ghosts wailing, some trying to help a poor girl and her infant, but unable to. Scrooge even recognizes another ghost that he had done business with that had recently died.
@@joycekoch5746 The visit could've been a dream God sent Scrooge. In the book and other adaptions, it's implies Scrooge had a long dream. Thus, a mind made version of Marley, appeared to Scrooge.
Kevin..Thank you SO much for this!! I remember seeing this on TV when i was just a wee lad, and i remember that the ghost of Marley used to scare the crap out of me! (Now i think it looks like something that would be in a Scooby-Doo episode) Many fond childhood memories brought back by this. Thank you and God Bless us, EVERY one!
@Polo King For Life Cool, I'm doing a "Christmas Carol" marathon and I have found several versions here on YT already, like the British 1932 one or the another one produced by Jack Warner in 1946. The animated ones are always welcome :)
For only being 45 mins, they managed to do a pretty good version of this. No matter what time of year it is, Merry Christmas folks and a Happy New Year!!!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎅🎅🎅🎅🎁🎁🎁🎁
Whichever version you prefer,take from them the lesson Dickens was trying to tell us....as it says in the Bible,"the love of money is the root of all evil"....while it is good to have a comfortable means to live,it means nothing when you don't share it with others,in some form or fashion.....all in all,it is better to be wise,with a full happy heart,a loving,satisfied soul,and the peace of God in your heart and mind, than to have all the wealth in the world,but no one to share your life with,to love you......A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL,MAY GOD BLESS AND ENRICH YOUR LIFE ALL YEAR LONG.
Agreed love money root all kinda God warms us chances people attention when place idols of our certain treat people heck, life money love and ready rich people lot money looking below common look face happy outside but inside miserable realize how we've support for mistreatment ,for poor and homeless.
This was on on the Friday morning after Thanksgiving in the Metropolitan area. I believe Channel 11. And would air a few more time after that. Good memories of watching this version.
Yes - I remember watching this as a 10 year old on Thanksgiving Day in the afternoon -- set the tone for me for Christmas and I looked forward to seeing it every year. Thank you so much for sharing this!!
This animated version used to be a staple on local TV in NYC around Christmas time back in the seventies. This is the first time I've seen it since way back then. I see it was made by an outfit called API . I once thought it was made overseas by Hanna Barbera. Glad that you uploaded this. Merry Christmas!
Best version by far. Even with all the present day films they do not compare. Thankyou. Dickens was brilliant!. I am sure he knew some greedy merchants. Maybe they should show this film to Corporate America, law makers, etc.

@@PrimordialChaos07we all have knowledge of that, he is talking about his experience.
I always thought the spectre of Marley in this version was one of the creepy and scariest ones of all time. Looked like a talking skull in a robe.
When I was a kid, I would always would hide somewhere when Marley was on the screen haha
Absolutely!!!!!! I’m 59 and I just watched it again after all these years and I found the back of my neck tingling! Lol
LOL I get that as only a few years younger than you and still gets me.
"BUSINESS ???!!!!!"
That's well done from that point

If you want to see a scary Marley check out the 1954 version with Fredric March and Basil Rathbone
Welcome fellow , Baby Boomer! I watched it too. It seemed like it was on a cold , blustery or rainy day that this cartoon was on tv ,lol.
Both actors who played in the 1951 version of this movie, Alistor Sim and Michael Hordern, reprise their original roles.

@@dampergoldenrod4156 some awful. Some great. Some average. Just the same as the output of any other decade.
I remember watching this version as a child. This brings back good memories. A timeless tale of redemption that we should all heed, if need be.
I had scoffed at the comments about Marley's appearance in this version, before I saw him for myself. I'm a grownup and I'm scared!
The 1971 Marley was much scarier, I think. Untying the scarf and his jaw drops...
My dad got me into this version and it is the best.I watch it every year at Christmas 🎄
Aired on Australian TV around Christmas time every year throughout the 70s and 80s.
I recorded my copy in the mid-80s.
Thanks for the upload! 👍
The first version I ever saw as a small girl. Marley’s ghost scared me as did the others ( I was 4 or so), but it started my love of Christmas Carol.

Same here. I remember seeing it for the first time expecting Looney Tunes but they showed this.
It's okay to be rich, but you should always remain kind, wise, & generous with that fabulous life. Being cruel, stingy, & selfish never works.
And that is the truth my friend that is the truth

no redemption for the dead. Redemption is only possible for the living.

July is too hot, but good gesture. December is the best month for Christmas season. By the way. Merry Christmas to you & your folks. (2022).
Yes - I remember watching this as a 10 year old on Thanksgiving Day in the afternoon -- set the tone for me for Christmas and I looked forward to seeing it every year. Thank you so much for sharing this!!
LOVED this as a child🎄♥️
Such a classic! Thanks for sharing 🎄
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY 2019 NEW YEAR !! GOD BLESS EVERYONE !!
This animated version used to be a staple on local TV in NYC around Christmas time back in the seventies. This is the first time I've seen it since way back then. I see it was made by an outfit called API . I once thought it was made overseas by Hanna Barbera. Glad that you uploaded this. Merry Christmas!
Always enjoyed this animated version of “A Christmas Carol” when I was a child. It’s a nice memory
Great childhood memories
The old cartoons are the best I must say
AWESOME version
Best version by far. Even with all the present day films they do not compare. Thankyou.
Dickens was brilliant!.
I am sure he knew some greedy merchants.
Maybe they should show this film to Corporate America, law makers, etc.
Kindness & generosity are such very warm touchy weapons.
This one brings back the memories!
Merry Christmas. Gonna sit back with a bowl and some cigs and watch this before bed.
This cartoon was my introduction to the story. The other animated version with Alistair Sim is also great but this is my favourite telling of it.
Thanks for uploading this. Takes me back to when I was a kid.
My favorite version of this story ever!!!!! Thanks for the upload!!!!
Thank you so very much! Blessings!
thanks for posting this , scared me as a kid love it!
Aha! This is it, the first version of ACC I'd ever seen wayyy back in the day. Thanks so much for posting it.
I used to watch this is a tradition every year but it was growing up.
I've always loved the line.."what do you want of me"?... "MUCH!"
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS!!!!!
The Christmas Spirt got into me watching this classic 2022.
We are all but shadows of what have been or ever will be! Chilling truth! Live the best life you can!
