Compcont

Today, all i have to do for school is a Compare/Contrast paragraph about Mickey's Christmas Carol and the original, the movie version of Around the World in 80 Days, and the game version of Around the World in 80 Days. I'm doing the Comp/Cont thing on my blog...Here 'Tis.
Mickey's Christmas Carol is similar to the original. One way it's similar is that the plot and characters are basically the same. Some of the lines are also mostly unchanged. Marley's chains are also still made of odd things (though not the same.) However, like most story-to-movie adaptions, there were changes--The most obvious is the characters. They look like Disney characters. Also, it's considerably funnier (For example, instead of just "Merry Christmas," Bob Cratchit says "And a Bah, Humbug--I mean, a Merry Christmas to you, Scrooge.")
Scrooge is slightly nicer and barely survives his encounter with the Ghost of Christmas Future, who actually has some lines of dialogue. Mickey's Christmas Carol is certainly similar to the original, but there are many differences as well.
How do you like it?
