Scrooge We hardly knew ye.

  Alan Young was 96 years old.


He is now in the skies and is there with a horse named Ed.



   It seems that all the great actors, be it voice or tv screen, it seems they are dropping like flies this year.

   Alan Young seemed to have his own show before staring as Wilbur on the hit Mr. Ed which stared a horse that talked to only him.

 I never really watched the show but they say it was pretty well known show that ran on Nick at Nite when I was young, but really was a hit in the 50's about a man portrayed by Alan Young who had a horse that talked, and I think they might have used peanut butter. It lasted a couple of years.


  But I knew Alan Young more as a voice actor as a certain duck called Scrooge McDuck. He took care of three constant siblings: Huey, Dewey and Louie on a show called Ducktales and they would go on amazing adventures.
   They were even going to bring it back next year, but I don't know what will happen now since Alan Young is no longer with us. I feel since Alan is gone so they should retire Scrooge McDuck, but that's just me.

  I even remember the short Christmas carol where Scrooge McDuck was Ebenezer, and Mickey was Crachit. Short, heartwarming and sad. Very to the point it was, it was also one of the first Christmas Carol movies I saw next to the Muppet Christmas Carol.


   It does hurt deep down, but he lived a wonderful life, and he did continue voicing as Scrooge in the short Mickey Mouse cartoon. And believe me, Mickey, Minnie those nephews and Donald Duck are crying tonight. And all of us fans that enjoyed the work that Alan Young did for us, we ar blessed to have a great voice actor, and actor that can work well with a talking horse. God Rest your soul Alan Young. Mr. Ed Will see you in heaven. Ciao for now Bloggers and watch Ducktales when you can.
