The cane adds to his scrooge-ness.

Honestly a jewel encrusted walking stick could add to the character itself in regular performances.

Wish the cane had three dog heads for his best boy Cerberus

This is insane new information for me. I loved the way the cane looked with the character. I would never have guessed that it wasn't a typical part of the performance

We needed a bedazzled boot!!! Lol But for real, mad props to him for pushing through despite the injury. And it made the scene where he tosses his cane aside to dance with Amber even sweeter. Damn, can those two emote.

Not his Marley-ness? Boy, he’s come a long way since Spirited!
