=== Voice ===
Another part of Scrooge's persona is his Scottish accent. [[Dallas McKennon]] was the first actor to provide Scrooge's voice for the 1960 [[Disneyland Records]] album, ''Donald Duck and His Friends''.

When Scrooge later made his speaking animated debut in ''[[Scrooge McDuck and Money]]'' in 1967, he was voiced by [[Bill Thompson (voice actor)|Bill Thompson]]. Thompson had previously voiced Jock the [[Scottish Terrier]] in ''[[Lady and the Tramp]]'' and according to [[Alan Young]], Thompson had some Scottish ancestry.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://classicshowbiz.blogspot.com/2010/12/interview-with-alan-young.html|title=An Interview with Alan Young|date=December 4, 2010|access-date=May 30, 2019}}</ref> Following ''Scrooge McDuck and Money'''s release, Scrooge made no further animated appearances prior to Thompson's death in 1971.

In 1974, Disneyland Records produced the album, ''An Adaptation of Dickens' Christmas Carol, Performed by The Walt Disney Players''. Alan Young belonged to a Dickens Society and was asked to help adapt the story to fit in Disney characters.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mydailyfind.com/2009/12/01/mister-eds-alan-young-talks-about-the-talking-horse-and-hollywood-lore/|title=Mister Ed's Alan Young about the talking horse and Hollywood lore|date=December 1, 2009|access-date=May 30, 2019}}</ref> Young, whose parents were Scottish and who lived in Scotland for a few years when he was an infant,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://colemanzone.com/Time_Machine_Project/filby.htm|title=Interview with Alan Young|date=October 19, 1999|access-date=May 30, 2019}}</ref> voiced Scrooge for this record in addition to voicing [[Mickey Mouse]] and [[Merlin (Disney)|Merlin]] from ''[[The Sword in the Stone (1963 film)|The Sword in the Stone]]''. When Disney decided to adapt the record into the 1983 theatrical short, ''[[Mickey's Christmas Carol]]'', Young returned to voice Scrooge.

Young's last performance as Scrooge was in the 2016 ''[[Mickey Mouse (TV series)|Mickey Mouse]]'' short, "No".

Since Young's death, several actors have provided Scrooge's voice. [[John Kassir]] took over for the ''Mickey Mouse'' shorts starting with "Duck the Halls" in 2016 and its follow-up series ''[[The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse]]''.

Scottish actor [[Enn Reitel]] voiced Scrooge for the English dub of ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', the 2022 life simulator game ''[[Disney Dreamlight Valley]]'', and for the Disney Parks.

Scottish actor [[David Tennant]] voices Scrooge in the 2017 reboot of ''[[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|DuckTales]]'', and reprised the role in ''[[Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (film)|Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers]]'' and ''[[Chibiverse]]''.<ref>{{Cite news |title=First Look: David Tennant Voices Scrooge McDuck in 'DuckTales' {{!}} BBC America |url=http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2017/03/first-look-david-tennant-voices-scrooge-mcduck-in-ducktales |access-date=2017-08-17 |work=BBC America |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{cite AV media |title=''[[Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (film)|Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers]]'' |date=May 20, 2022 |type=Film |language=English |publisher=Walt Disney Pictures, Mandeville Films |time=1h30m32s}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=An Official Gravity Falls/Duck Tales Crossover Has Landed (And No One Noticed) – The Flagship Eclipse |url=https://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/2025/01/18/an-official-gravity-falls-duck-tales-crossover-has-landed-and-no-one-noticed/ |access-date=2025-01-20 |language=en-US}}</ref> According to executive producer Matt Youngberg:

{{blockquote|David Tennant seemed to be the natural choice for this. We really wanted to find somebody who was legitimately Scottish. We thought that was really important in this iteration, someone who had the character to bring this icon alive. And David is an amazing actor. He's morphed into this role in an incredible way.}}
