Customer Reviews of Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas (Disney Gold Classic Collection)

A good effort but seriously lacking...
Perhaps I am too old to enjoy a good old Disney cartoon. I love sitting back to Disney's great compilation, "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" - I think the finest Disney video ever. Hoping to add another great film to my brief Disney collection, I decided to order "Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas". After grabbing a drink and putting another log on the fire, I sat down to watch what I was convinced would be a classic in the making. An hour later my disappointment had completely set in. Don't get me wrong, the animation and audio was great. The third story on the video (a knock off of Henry's "The Gift of the Magi") with Mickey and Minnie was reasonably well done. However, there was a lot missing, the first and second stories in the movie were extremely lacking. There was virtually not plot throughout much of the video and I could almost see screenplay people stretching the storyline to cover all of the animation. Overall, this may make a good rental for the kids but not something that will add any value to a permanent collection. At least now I have a nice DVD coaster for my drink.

Filled With Spirit
My children love this movie - they occasionally ask for it even after the holidays are passed. I can't blame them - it's filled with three great stories. Donald Duck's selfish nephews wish it could be Christmas every day so they can get more presents. When their wish is granted, they discover it isn't always good to get what you ask for. In story two, Goofy and Max, his hip, teenage son, learn a lesson in love and believing when they discover the REAL Santa lives in each of us. And in the third story, Mickey and Minnie bring to life a cartoon version of the wonderfull story "The Gift of the Magi." Superb narration, entertaining animation, and a timeless message of love that reaches beyond Christmas.

An excellent direct-to-video Disney flick!
This here is a collection of 3 Christmas themed stories narrated by Kelsey Grammer, the first story tells a " Groundhog Day"-esque tale about Huey, Duey and Luey wishing it was christmas everyday but their wish comes true, unforuntely it's really the same day repeating all the day but they must change it in order to get rid of the wish. The second story tells about Goofy with his son max who tries to prove the existence of Santa Claus then the final tale tells about Mickey whom must give up their two personal possesions for the sake of how they love each other.
A highly entertaining animated anthology nicely done each with a moral in the end, watch for the climax as the all stars of this movie come together for a christmas song. Cameos by Scrooge Mcduck from "Ducktales" and "Mortimer" the Rat.
