Disney's biggest stars shine in a magical, heartwarming movie sure to become a holiday classic! Mickey, Minnie, and their famous friends Goofy, Donald, Daisy, and Pluto gather to reminisce about love, magic, and surprises in three wonder-filled stories of Christmas past. In the fine tradition of Disney's superb storytelling, Minnie and Mickey recall the year they both gave up what was most important to them for the sake of the other, making for one unforgettable Christmas. Goofy and Max retell when they experienced a series of hilarious but season-shaking events ... until a visit from the real Santa made it a most magical holiday. Thinking back to when they wished Christmas was every day, Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie remember their dream turning into a comical catastrophe, eventually teaching them what true holiday spirit is all about. Featuring the entire cast in a finale of merry, magical Christmas songs -- all the excitement of MICKEY'S ONCE UPON A CHRISTMAS is ready to unwrap for holiday family fun!
User Submitted Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas (Disney Gold Classic Collection) Reviews November 26, 2008 Great collection of Disney Christmas movies featuring Mickey and friends! The joys and lessons of Christmases past are revisited in three enchanting, lesson-filled tales featuring Disney's favorite cartoon characters - in the first story, Donald's nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie remember the time they wished Christmas was every day and it came true! As they relive Christmas day over and over again, the fun soon turns monotonous and boring, and along the way, the boys learn the true meaning of Christmas.
In the second story, Goofy and his son Max confront the 'myth' of Santa Claus - Goofy is a true believer and Max turns out to be skeptic after next door neighbor Pete tells him Santa isn't real. It takes a lot of effort and some magic before Max comes around:)
In the last story, Mickey and Minnie play down-on-their luck sweethearts whose purse strings won't stretch to give each other a special present, and so they decide to sacrifice something precious belonging to each of them to please the other - this truly encapsulates the lesson of Christmas - that it is better to give than to receive, and of noble sacrifice.
All in all, my family really enjoyed the movies - charming Disney animation with time-honored lessons of what Christmas is all about!
November 8, 2008 Solid Disney Effort.... I have wanted this dvd for quite sometime and finally bit the bullet and I was not disappointed.
Once Upon A Christmas is made up of three tales featuring classic Disney characters that include: Donald and Daisy Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie, Mickey and Minne Mouse, Goofy and Max.
From a heartwarming tale of gifts from the heart (Mickey and Minnie) to is there a Santa (Goofy and Max) to neverending Christmas (all the Ducks), this a great flick for all ages.
Special features include, two sing a longs, previews and a dvd storybook.
A good deal all around. I highly recommend this dvd.
Merry Christmas!
October 5, 2008 confusing category The term classic is apparently meaningless? I would appreciate it if you would define your categories, or at least prominantly display the date of the original issue of a work so that those of us who enjoy only vintage Disney animation could quickly eliminate those of no interest, especially those with tacky, boring computer animation.
October 1, 2008 Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas Good condition when it arrived. I'm very happy with the results of my buying experience with this seller.
May 3, 2008 Mickey's Christmas...a must! I love this movie! My kids do too. You can't have christmas without a good christmas movie and this one is at the top of our list every year!
April 5, 2008 Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas My son and I have had the Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas for a couple of years now and he loves to watch it at Christmas time. I wanted to get the first one so that we would have both of them. My son and I love it. He's 3 years old and he loves Disney characters, especially Mickey Mouse, as I do. It was just such a cute movie. We really like it.
January 18, 2008 Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas This is great for children I think. However, my daughter 26 years of age raved about it so thought I had to have it. I was pretty disappointed from an adult's point of view but like I said, the grandkids love it.
January 8, 2008 Excellent DVD Excellent DVD for Christmas, great for young kids and family. The animation is excellent.
January 2, 2008 Loud, Jumbled and Often Mean! I watched this with my 4 year old and was amazed at the speed and jumble of action, as well as the downright meanness of some of the characters.
OK, now that I have little ones perhaps I am more sensitive to such points than I used to be. But do we really need Pete swindling a poor family, stealing Mickey's money and an entire Christmas tree lot going up in flames in a Christmas story?
And do we also need Pete to plant the seed of Santa disbelief in the Goofy and Son section?
My son has had no reason to even contemplate that Santa wasn't real - is it too much to expect that a Disney movie would not have that plot device, at least so prominently? Sure, there's a "Santa really does exist" ending, but come on - it's difficult enough balancing my son's innocence with the real world.
His main questions during and after watching was "Why is Pete so mean?" and "Why doesn't he believe in Santa Clause?"
The Mickey Minnie Magi story is OK, the Huey, Dewey & Louie groundhog-day-Christmas is too fast paced. During that section my son went into the glazed over zombie look that one sees when watching the modern fare on many kid's tv channels.
Production value of the animation is perfectly fine.
I suppose my overall assessment is that the compilation is better left for somewhat older children.
January 2, 2008 Wonderful Christmas movie... My 3 year old watched this movie every day and sometimes several times a day during the holiday season. It has a wonderful message and she loves the christmas tree in it. This is the type of movie I can take out every holiday season and make part of her tradition.
