Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas DVD

Advantages: Brings Christmas back to reality
Disadvantages: nothing comes to mind

To be honest, I've never really been a big Mickey Mouse fan, but have enjoyed the antics of Donald Duck and his nephews over the years. This Dvd However has a lot of appeal and has also changed my opinion and I now enjoy even watching Mickey. Brought this Dvd for my niece, who is eight, she insisted that we all watch, and every one enjoyed it, from the eight year old, my teenage kids also the four adults that were watching under duress, so all ...
...family entertainment. The Dvd itself is a series of small adaptations, telling a range of Christmas tales, involving Mickey and Pluto, Mickey is so wrapped up in himself he almost loses Pluto as his loyal friend, Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck, as the competitive Bell's on ice, allowing competition and jealousy to get in the way of friendship, Scrooge McDuck, as his name suggests struggling to come to terms with Christmas and it's expense.

Disadvantages: Kids will want to watch again and again!

This DVD contains different stories featuring the Christmas holidays and a wide range of well loved Disney characters such as Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Daisy Duck, Huey, Louie and Duey as well as our famous Mickey Mouse. In one of the tales, Mickey nearly looses his friend Pluto through his ill manners, there is the story of "Belles on Ice" featuring Minnie and Daisy and the stories are all fantastic wholesome family value stories.

...be about - family, friends, sharing and celebrations. I liked it because it reinforced the important messages about the importance of family and friends - especially at Christmas time - and does it in a manner which kids can understand. It is also a DVD suitable for all ages and features stories the whole family can enjoy together. For some reason it seems to be more expensive than other kids films - I bought it online and still paid £15 - these ... Read review

Advantages: The digital animation looks far more visually impressive than the usual drawn cartoons.
Disadvantages: It would be very difficult to find any faults.

This film is utterly charming. I paid the maximum purchasing price, which is unusual for me, and it was worth it. Each of the short Christmas tales has a moral which is made in a light-hearted, humerous and engaging way. Nothing heavy handed or dogmatic. My children aged between twelve and four at the time that I bought it last year really enjoyed it and I know we will watch it repeatedly every winter. Although the DVD seems to be aimed at under ...
...is visually spectacular. It left us hoping that Disney would produce something similar every Christmas. We liked the song on the story about Goofy's son and his relationship with his dad. This story may strike a chord with teenagers who feel embarrased by their parents! All in all this is a DVD no household with children should be without. ... Read review

Advantages: Thoroughly enjoyable for the big and little kids!
Disadvantages: none!

...Mickeys once upon a christmas is a very traditionel collection of cartoon stories all the old characters are there enducing that all important warm fuzzy feel good factor. Mickys twice upon a christmas is a twist on the original. An up to date version of stories all with fresh new jokes, aimed at the more mature Disney fan!!!(me) Thoroughly enjoyable and even though all the old characters are there, many more are included, including plutos son and new girlfriend (god i feel old!) And no longer restricted to the traditional animation methods the second of the two films is entirely computer generated which only adds to the viewing enjoyment. Both films are thoroughly enjoyable and in my house are appreciated by adults and children alike!... Read review
