The next member of our All-Star Team is the Ghost of Christmas Present.
He seems to be a popular character, representing what we love about Christmas.
Since he's a giant, my favorite Ghost of Christmas Present is an "actual" giant - Willie from "Mickey's Christmas Carol" (1983):
I really think it's brilliant that starting with the original LP from 1974 that they went to the stable of Disney characters for their own giant to play the giant ghost!
I had previously discussed in this post how Willie was the giant in the "Mickey and the Beanstalk" segment of the 1947 Disney feature "Fun and Fancy Free." He was supposedly just a fictional character in the story that Edgar Bergen was telling, yet he appears in "real life" in an amazingly meta moment!
He's an easy choice for my team and represents "Mickey's Christmas Carol" very well!
