“ Bah, humbug! ”

— Scrooge's catchphrase

08

Ebenezer Scrooge (born Feb 7, 1786) is the main character in Charles Dickens' tale, A Christmas Carol. He is a very cold-hearted, selfish man, who has no love for Christmas, children, family, or anything that even resembles happiness. The story of his transformation by the three Ghosts of Christmas (Past, Present, and Yet to Come) has become a defining tale of the Christmas holiday.

Scrooge's partial inspiration is Ralph Nickleby, an antagonist in an earlier Dickens novel, Nicholas Nickleby.

Scrooge sim
 Scrooge 1951 Alastair Sim Alastair Sim's performance as Ebenezer Scrooge in the 1950 production "Scrooge" is generally regarded as the definitive portrayal of the role. The film expands on the original story by adding Scrooge's rise as a prominent businessman who was corrupted by a greedy new mentor that had lured him away from the benevolent Mr. Fezziwig. Sim reprised the role two decades later, lending his voice to Richard Williams' 1971 animated version of the tale.

(voiced by Jim Backus) 		Mr. Magoo takes on an acting role where he plays Scrooge in a Broadway theater play. There are a few references to Scrooge's (more accurately Magoo's) myopic vision within the stage production presented in the special, a nod to the Magoo character. In the opening Mr. Magoo, out of character, is shown arriving at the theater, and at the end is shown taking a bow with the other actors.

This Scrooge notably wears dress-slacks, a dress-shirt, a vest and a smoking jacket on his journey through time rather than the traditional nightgown, slippers and cap. Sources have stated that Scott openly reeled at the thought of portraying Scrooge under such conditions, especially in mid-winter England.
