Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas is a Disney christmas film which was released in 2004. It is the sequel to Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas, although it is not essential to have seen the first film as this film holds no relevence to it, other than being a Disney christmas film!

Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas is a selection of short stories, rather than a film. Each story is about 10 minutes long and the total running time is approximatley 64 minutes. Inbetween stories is a pop up book whos pages turn to reveal a new story, which is also introduced by a narrator.

The second story is called Christmas: Impossible and starts with Huey, Dewey and Louie being informed by their Uncle Scrooge that they need to improve their behaviour otherwise they won't get on Santas good list. The boys realise they have been really quite naughty and don't have time to get on Santas good list as it is christmas eve. They decide to visit Santas workshop in the North Pole to put their names on the list. When they arrive the elves are very busy getting everything organised for the sleigh ride but the boys are oblivious to it all as they try to find the list. The search for the list ends in disaster as the workshop gets trashed and turns into total chaos. How can this disaster possibly be fixed? Is christmas ruined? Will the boys ever get on Santas good list now? and what will Santa have to say about all of this?

The fourth story is called Donald's Gift. Donald Duck just wants to sit down with a hot beverage and forget about the festive season for a while but Huey, Dewie, Louis and Daisy Duck drag him to the mall where they are going to see the christmas window display being switched on at Mousey's department store. When they get to the mall Donald goes in search of a hot chocolate but it seems everywhere he turns he can hear the song 'We Wish you a Merry Christmas'. As Donald slowly starts to lose his mind he finds a door which appears to be a dark but peaceful and quite room. He hits a switch and it's soon apparent that he has walked right into the middle of Mouse's window display. Hundreds of lit up elf dolls and a Santa start singing 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas' and Donald soon loses it and destroys the window display. How will everybody waiting outside Mousey's take this? How is Donald going to get himself out of this one? and will Donald's christmas spirit ever return?

I would say this DVD would best suit children upto around 10 years of age... although I must admit I also enjoy it and I'm 24 years old! It is perfect for the run up to christmas and can teach children a number of things including christmas spirit, morals and friendship to name a few. My daughter also understood christmas a bit better after watching this (eg. decorations, christmas carols, reindeer).

Bonus footage includes Santa's Workshop Challenge, What is Donald Singing?, Santa's Sort, Inspiration On Ice, Snowball Madness and All Things Deleted. As with most bonus games, they aren't too great but if I was about 20 years younger I might enjoy them abit more! I expect my daughter will enjoy playing them when she gets old enough.
