Some of those themed compilations survived into the home video market as well. It's possible there was some Dick Tracy tie-in although I'm not familiar with any.<br /><br />The gender of the Ghost of Christmas Past has never been discussed here. Although Dickens has Scrooge address the ghost as "Sir", the ghost is also described as being "like a child" with long hair and is usually rendered as somewhat androgynous as it is in this version.Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02872914483836891531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202740811135382485.post-21935408803193683062011-12-22T09:07:37.510-08:002011-12-22T09:07:37.510-08:00Longtime fan of this show; I even remember seeing ...Longtime fan of this show; I even remember seeing it at a drive-in theater once (1965-ish?). But I really feel like I remember an opening to this show that included Dick Tracy in some fashion. I haven't found a reference to it on this site as yet, but -- am I remembering wrong?<br /><br />Also wondering if the subject of "Is the Ghost of Christmas Past a boy or a girl?" has been discussed?Raaawbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378986226560075517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202740811135382485.post-41175655419400660952011-12-07T21:05:20.918-08:002011-12-07T21:05:20.918-08:00I have to admit, while not all of The Famous Adven...I have to admit, while not all of The Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo were fantastic, it remains quite an ambitious project that I hope will gain an appreciative audience through the SHOUT Factory Magoo on TV box set. The design work, backgrounds and layouts are fantastic, and the shows succeed more often than not at doing a good job of telling a dramatic story using cartoonish graphics.Debbie Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648307522331962265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202740811135382485.post-39320009641915981032011-12-06T13:18:30.795-08:002011-12-06T13:18:30.795-08:00Contact me through the website's email address...Contact me through the website's email address, info@mrmagooschristmascarol.com.Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02872914483836891531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202740811135382485.post-41250215119983802392011-12-06T11:52:39.838-08:002011-12-06T11:52:39.838-08:00Darrell, I would like to interview you for a story...Darrell, I would like to interview you for a story about "Cholly."
