Bah Humduck!

Last year, Warner Bros. released another cartoon version of "A Christmas Carol," this time featuring Daffy Duck as Scrooge. This is worth your time to watch (especially if, like me, you have little kids and will be watching cartoons anyways!) because of the outstanding soundtrack composed by Gordon Goodwin and performed by his Big Phat Band. It is a throwback to the old days of fully-orchestrated soundtracks, full of great jazz licks. "Yo Tannenbaum," one of the tracks from this soundtrack is up for a Grammy Award.

One additional note: Jay Mason, Concordia's professor of saxophone, is playing bari sax on this soundtrack (and his name is listed in the movie's credits).
