Scrooge McDuck

Line 63:

Disney early on wanted to use Scrooge in cartoons, but apart from a brief cameo on the ''{{w|Mickey Mouse Club}}'' TV series, he remained a comics-only character until 1967, when the short ''{{w|Scrooge McDuck and Money}}'' made his "official" debut in animation. He was used sporadically in cartoons after that, his most notable role being in the 1983 featurette ''{{w|Mickey's Christmas Carol}}'', where he played his Dickensian namesake, Ebenezer Scrooge.

In 1987, twenty years after his animated debut and forty years after his comics debut, Scrooge became the main star (alongside Huey, Dewey, and Louie) of the animated series ''{{w|DuckTales}}'', which loosely adapted many of the original stories from the comics. This series is the source for much of his characterization in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series.

The DuckTales animated series was later {{w|Ducktales (2017 TV series)|rebooted}} 30 years later in 2017, which notably included adapting more characters from the original comics that were not included in the original animated series. For the new DuckTales series, Scrooge was voiced by {{w|David Tennant}}.
