Trivia | This short marks the appearance of what could be considered the precursor to the Scrooge McDuck character. A money-saving, kilt-wearing Scottish version of Donald Duck appears, and his character design is very similar to Scrooge McDuck. Scrooge would make his debut four years later, in the comic book story "Christmas On Bear Mountain" (December, 1947). See more » |
