DVD Review: Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a fun video to watch. Our son enjoys the video a lot. DVD Review: Great stories
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a lovely dvd and my 3-year-old son loves it. We have been watching the three stories over and over and it is still fun to watch. One of the better Christmas dvds! DVD Review: All New Christmas Stories with Your Favorite Friends
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is really a series of three shorter stories with Mickey Mouse and his friends. Combined, they remind us that family and love are the most important parts of Christmas.
The first is the weakest story. It focuses on Huey, Dewey, and Louie as they get their special wish, every day is Christmas. At first they enjoy it, but soon they are bored, especially when they realize they are the only ones who know this. Can they figure out a way out?
The next story focuses on Goofy and his son Max. After mailing their annual letter to Santa, Max starts to doubt Santa's existence. Is Santa real? Frankly, I was surprised at how touching I found this particular story. And the opening with the race through the mall was the funniest part of the video, too.
Finally, Mickey and Minnie do a good impression of "The Gift of the Magi" as Mickey wants to buy a chain for Minnie's watch, while Minnie is trying to get the money to buy Mickey a case for his harmonica. Yes, I knew where it was going from the title, but I still enjoyed it.
Clocking in at just over an hour, none of these stories are too long. But they certainly get the message across about what the holiday is really all about.
I'm not sure this is a video that adult fans will turn to year after year, but kids will certainly be entertained by it.
DVD Review: Disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
Parts of the DVD are good, parts are unnecessarily repetitious so length can be added. The graphics quality is strangely uneven--as if it were done by two different teams of animators--and the storyline lacks the creativity Disney characters usually have. It "Christmasy" enough, and that's a good thing, but it's not remotely close to the cartoons of the past...though I guess nothing is.DVD Review: Not good for small children
Summary: 2 Stars
I realize that this came out some years back, but our daughter is just almost 3 now. She adores Mickey Mouse & friends. Its the 1st year that she recognized the magic of Christmas, Santa, etc. so we bought this video for her to watch this season. I'm just sick that she has seen this video though - its generated questions that we should NEVER have to address with her this early! I agree with some others who said that the 1st story is a little over her head, and that was ok. The story about Mickey and Minnie overall was nice - the message about giving was great, but other parts were a bit confusing & scary for her, because Pete is a "friend" on the TV show, but is just horrible to Mickey and others in this story. The most disturbing story though, was the one with Goofy and his son where Pete tells Max that there's no Santa and the story shows ways Santa could be other people (ie: Goofy dresses us as Santa for the neighbors and Max realizes Santa's his dad)! Now, I understand that kids will eventually hear this and parents have to address it when the time comes. But, I would NEVER have imagined to introduce the thought that this could even remotely be true at 3! And to have it introduced by us showing her a Disney movie makes it that much worse! Although at the end Goofy proves that Santa exists, the questions are still there. All in all, this movie is not, in its entirety, appropriate for anyone under the age of 8. The first story is too complex, the second could be devastating and the last is ok, but a child needs to be able to understand the complexity of Pete's character.
Description of Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas (Disney Gold Classic Collection)
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!Donald Duck's nephews learn why holidays come once a year, Goofy and son discover the spirit of Santa, and Mickey and Minnie reenact a classic tale of giving in this all-new holiday offering. Kelsey Grammer (TV's Frasier) narrates as Donald hosts Christmas at his house, complete with an egg and pancake breakfast, a sled for each duckling in the closet, and Daisy under the mistletoe. But the celebration gets old fast when the boys' wish for Christmas every day comes true. Next up, Goofy's son wonders whether there is a Santa after the villainous Pete tells him there's not and he catches Dad impersonating the portly gift-giver. Goofy demonstrates the spirit of giving by taking a meal and presents to less-fortunate neighbors, and many Goofy-style mishaps later, father and son have a surprise visitor. In the third story, the mouse lovebirds give an updated spin to O.?Henry's "The Gift of the Magi," with Minnie having the heirloom watch with no chain and Mickey a harmonica with no case. This trio of Christmas stories adds up to an hour of heartfelt fun, capped off by the gang singing "Jingle Bells." Perfect holiday cheer for those 4 and up. --Kimberly Heinrichs
