Maybe it just people like me who reads a lot of Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comics including the international ones in which all the Ducks family and friend interact regularly, but anyone find it kind of ackward that in Mickey's Chrismas Carol Scroog'e love interest, is in another media, his unofficial niece in law, if you read the international comics, she calls him Uncle Scrooge all the time. Ill.
If I could do over again, have some other girl duck play Isabel, Doesn't have to be Goldie or Brigitta, could just be a generic female duck, and give Fred a girlfriend and played by Daisy, and you give Fred an extra reason why he wants to spent the holidays with Scrooge, that is for his uncle to meet his girlfriend.
Off topic, I would love though if this referenced one day, Disney has 2017 Ducktales and 2013 Mickey Mouse who are not shy for doing meta humor, and what if there is a play in which Scrooge and Daisy are cast to play romantic leads to each other, and Donald is not comfortable with it.

no cause she's an actress in a story. Mickey isn't really Bob Cratchit, he's Mickey playing Bob Cratchit. likewise Daisy isn't really Isabelle, she's just playing Isabelle. its not like she and Scrooge were doing the hibbity dibbity while Donald was out to sea, all she did was give him a peck on the cheek.

The answer is probably simple: Daisy was the only recognizable female duck in Disney animation. The only other was Grandma Duck (who appeared once in a '60s cartoon, and her 2nd appearance was as a cameo in MCC's Christmas past sequence). I'd reckon to have her be Uncle Scrooge's girlfriend they'd need to de-age her........ which just makes it confusing, and would've had kids - young and old - asking "Why not just use Daisy?" anyway.

Fair enough, though you have to admit in the normal canon there is a big age difference. |

I was thinking of that too, but she is one generation before Scrooge. For those that don't know, and I don't blame you if you don't know because the Duck / McDuck family tree can get confusing, Grandma Duck's relationship to Scrooge, she is his sister's mother - in - law. |

Yeah, the admirable lore of Donald Duck comics has pretty much been on a back burner for me for years now. Keep meaning to invest more time, but it'll be a chore I'm not sure I have the energy for after 30 years of all other comics' nonsense.  Only thing I really knew about Grandma is that she kinda/essentially raised Donald, didn't she? |

It is more in depth with Donald's family and their relationships, and I think the characters are a little closer. For example as I mention, Daisy has well as her nieces April, May, and June have called Scrooge "Uncle Scrooge" (and in AMJ have called Donald "Uncle Donald" as well), Huey, Dewey, and Louie have called Daisy "Aunt Daisy", non of these things have happened in animation. |

I always assumed it wasn't Daisy and it was just a random female duck.

Here was my first thought on "Daisy as Isabelle", and of course someone drew it.  |
