And they already showed other Robin Hood characters so why not him ?<br /><br />For the "widows and orphans" part, I always assumed that it was just something about heartlessly collecting debts from very poor and very lovable people, things you usually see when they have to portray a "bad" businessman.Achille Talonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636339293230261724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586574010029073142.post-90900081115875571012012-12-24T23:31:55.826-08:002012-12-24T23:31:55.826-08:00Yeah, Goofy is too inherently "nice guy"...Yeah, Goofy is too inherently "nice guy" to play an effective Marley. If it was me, I'd have made a villain that I always kind of liked Marley– Pete was playing the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, but I would have made him Marley. And then we'd need a villain sinister enough to take over the role of Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come... I rather like the idea of the Ghost throwing back his hood to reveal Chernabog, one of the most evil Disney villains yet one that has no history of speaking.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03343947041898057102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586574010029073142.post-10699563935868345602012-12-24T08:06:05.301-08:002012-12-24T08:06:05.301-08:00That's not Gus.

That's a character from "Aristocats"...<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1F1_w-_gtk<br /><br />Great review btw :))))))<br /><br /><br />I think Grandma Duck was at that point way less obscure then Glomgold since he appear only in three Barks stories in America... I like Goofy Marley even if it was way off character... I wish they show him doing all the evil thing he mentioned ;)Pan Miluśhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364446151493198587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586574010029073142.post-67189113151839339742012-12-24T07:55:11.725-08:002012-12-24T07:55:11.725-08:00Geo,

Generally speaking, it's difficult to use a traditional villain in this role, because part of what makes the Marley character effective is the fact that he must get across the need for repentance and reform. I can't imagine Glomgold (say) doing that. <br /><br />I agree that casting Goofy as Marley was a misstep, but what other role could he have taken? Fezziwig, maybe?<br /><br />ChrisChris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586574010029073142.post-14865058199474200002012-12-24T06:40:26.471-08:002012-12-24T06:40:26.471-08:00I’d love Glomgold as Marley – but if he’s too obsc...I’d love Glomgold as Marley – but if he’s too obscure (as he WAS in those pre-DuckTales days), how about Shere Khan (as a pre-cursor to his role in Tale Spin)? Or just dress-up Foulfellow or Brer Fox. <br /><br />And, if Grandma Duck wasn’t too obscure, why NOT Glomgold? I think Pete was an inspired choice! <br />Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.com
