Reviews
A classic. I didn't watch it for the first time until I was an adult, so I don't have the nostalgia for it that I wish I had, but it's a great watch.
You can tell Scrooge is still kind of a dick when he shows up at Bob's house and makes everyone hide so he can pretend to fire him first, and also he has that teeny tiny cutie carry that gigantic raw turkey the whole time.
