Royal Dano was undoubtedly one of the best, most quirky and striking character actors to ever grace the big and small screen alike in a lengthy and impressive career which spanned 42 years. He was nominated by the New York Critic's Circle as one of the Promising Actors of 1949. Tall and lean, with a gaunt face, dark hair, a rangy build, and a very distinctive deep croaky voice, Dano was usually cast in both movies and TV shows as gloomy and/or sinister characters. He appeared most often in weste

I've never been a fan or Mr Magoo and as such this variation seemed a bit blah. Also why is this a musical it doesn't add anything aside for some dull filler.

I can't tell if it's the nature of the story, or my preexisting bias, but I swear this has the exact same structure, and scenes, of a Muppet Christmas Carol. And in the same ways, this is well above the (relatively low) holiday average.

Surprisingly faithful, plus some good catchy songs.
