whereas my opinions of wall - e agreed with the critical consensus , brother bear performed poorly among critics and audiences , but i consider it one of disney’s most underrated successes . from the mountainous vistas in a painterly art style to “all that cuddly bear stuff” which is both heckled and embraced , brother bear is a beautiful film that stands as disney’s last great use of traditional animation .

related rumor that i heard this past weekend . and this one might actually be true .
brother bear is a nice movie for small children . my 6 year old found it a little scary because the early scenes show a young man being killed by a bear and a bear being killed by a young man . eventually , the young man discovers that he has killed a mother bear and befriends her small cub . the overall message is one of love , tolerance and understanding .
when a bear makes off with a basket of fish , the reckless kenai starts a senseless pursuit that ends with sitka sacrificing himself to take the bear down and save his brother . unfortunately , the bear survives , whereupon kenai once again ignores his elders in order to exact vengeance . when he succeeds , the northern lights elaborately descend from the heavens and turn kenai into a bear . but this makes the clan’s middle brother , denahi , think that kenai , too , is dead , and he sets out on an epic hunt to track down the killer bear .

celebrity big brother threw a major spanner in the works on friday , after it announced the first nominations bombshell of the series .
this year ' s celebrity big brother is within touching distance , and theories about who will take part have spread like wildfire .
while it ' s doubtful that disney ' s economy - driven game plan will be altered much if brother bear is a success , it may give 2 - d supporters hope that the house of mouse will return to its roots .

of course , given the amount of effort that the walt disney company put into promoting
brother bear ,
you ' d actually have had to have been a bear - - hibernating in a cave for a year somewhere - - to have not known that this walt disney pictures release was opening at a theater near you this past weekend .
my new gift is lame : kenai wasn ' t too happy receiving the bear of love at first .
joining stephen bear for the public vote is frankie grande , ricky norwood , samantha fox and marnie simspon .
it was a close battle but bear is now up for eviction every week until he is booted out .
after a tense round of nominations , it was clear that it was between heavy d and stephen bear .
“hopefully bear ' s legacy will be that he facilitated the end of the ' celebrity ' culture . ”
concerning brother bear ‘s performance at the box offce , box office guru says , “last year around this time , disney released treasure planet , another 2d animated film , and it flopped pretty badly , opening to $ 12m and finishing with $ 38m . however , earlier during the summer , disney released lilo & stitch which opened to $ 35 . 2m on its way to a final total of $ 145 . 8m , proving that traditional , hand - drawn animation isn’t dead , as long as you can create a story people will enjoy . while brother bear won’t reach the heights of this year’s likely box office champ , the computer animated finding nemo ( currently at $ 338 . 7m ) , it should still do reasonably well . last weekend , brother bear opened on 2 screens and had a per screen average of almost $ 146 , 000 . with bear expanding to around 3000 screens , if that per screen average holds , bear would make approximately $ 438m this weekend . staying on the conservative side , as the only new film going wide in the marketplace and having solid reviews , over the two - day period , brother bear could see a gross of $ 18m . ”
brother bear is in cinemascope , but it doesnt start that way . other animation has been in scope , but never before has an animated feature changed aspect ratio mid - stream . like the 1982 sci - fi flick brainstorm , brother bear is part academy ratio ( 1 . 85 : 1 ) and part scope ( 2 . 35 : 1 ) ; and , as in brainstorm , the format shifts with changing points of view . we figured , why not have the audience go through a different point of view , says walker , like kenai does when he gets turned into a bear ?
denahi encounters kenai ' s bear form stumbling around , disoriented and confused right after his transformation , with kenai ' s shredded clothes at his feet . because of this , denahi mistakenly comes to the conclusion that this bear has killed kenai — though the bear actually is kenai — and resolves to track it down and kill it .
but then along comes
brother bear .
which - - just like
jungle book
- - is this movie that has a central character who ' s a bear . so will the box office of this particular film once again be big enough to get wdfa exes to reconsider their decision to slowly move the mouse out of the traditional animation business ?

he also had parts in other movies where his older brother was the big name including chasing amy and ocean ' s eleven and its sequels .
one point in
brother bear ' s
favor is the surprising  but smart  casting of actor joaquin phoenix as the voice of the lead character , kenai . he ' s an impetuous young hunter who is disappointed when he learns his animal totem is a bear . that choice also turns out to be ironic when kenai finds himself locked in a life - or - death struggle with a grizzly . ( he ' s trying to avenge the death of his older brother , for which he feels responsible . )

brother bear ,
the new disney animated film , is more than set in the distant past when woolly mammoths roamed the earth , it ' s largely made in a traditional technique that , skeptics say , may soon be as extinct as that ancient beast .
phil collins , fresh from the success of doing the music for disney ' s animated tarzan , came on to do the songs and the score . voice actors were cast . and brother bear slowly worked its trial - and - error way through the disney pipeline .

disney proudly presents brother bear , an epic animated adventure full of comedy and heart with five great songs from academy award® winner phil collins ( best original song ) . when an impulsive boy named kenai is magically transformed into a bear , he must literally walk in another ' s footsteps until he learns some valuable life lessons . his courageous and often zany journey introduces him to a forest full of wildlife , including the lovable bear cub koda , hilarious moose rutt and tuke , woolly mammoths , rambunctious rams , and more !
troubles vex him , not least his own brother denahi , who was moments too late to witness the transformation , and now considers kenai , the bear , as the bear who killed kenai . kenai must fend off not only his own brothers attacks , but attacks of conscience when he realizes his companion koda , a motherless cub , is motherless for a specific and terrible reason that kenai alone knows .
the concentration isn ' t so much on techniques , hand - drawn versus computer , but on turning inward and focusing on story ,
williams says .
we really concentrated on emotion with brother bear , because the best film experiences grab you and move you .
no antagonist : despite furiously hunting kenai , denahi isn ' t actually a villain and is more driven by heartbroken anger from thinking his only remaining brother was killed . what ' s more , he comes to his senses when he realizes kenai was the bear he was hunting .
based on what i ' ve been hearing from mouse house insiders , all in all , folks at disney are fairly pleased with the way
brother bear
performed this past weekend . based on preliminary box office projection , it now looks as if
brother bear
' s total take during its domestic run will fall somewhere between
mulan
' s $ 120 million and
lilo and stitch
' s $ 145 million . which will make the guys down at walt disney feature animation - florida very happy , i ' m sure .
kenai doesn ' t like bears , and picks a fight with one that tries to steal his fishing catch ; he recklessly chases the bear , and when sitka tries to protect him , the older brother is killed and is transformed into an eagle . kenai is counseled by the tribe ' s wise woman tanana ( joan copeland ) to accept this outcome as the will of the universe , but determines to kill the bear . he succeeds , but the universe proves it has a sense of justice , or perhaps of humor , by transforming kenai himself into a bear - - so that denahi assumes it was bear kenai who killed kid brother kenai . denahi continues the family tradition of vengeance by tracking down bear kenai , in an irony that is positively shakespearean , and no wonder , since i learn that this story was originally inspired by
king lear ,
although the notion of three siblings seems to be all that survived .
the walt disney pictures cartoon
brother bear , ' ' released nationwide on saturday so as not to compete with halloween festivities the night before , grabbed the no . 2 position with $ 18 . 5 million from 3 , 030 theaters - - a figure within expectations .
driven by the emotional and joyous rhythms of five great new songs from academy - award ( r ) winner phil collins ,
brother bear
is disney ' s exciting new animated holiday adventure . set against the majestic natural splendor of the great american northwest , the film tells the story of a boy named kenai , whose life takes an unexpected turn when the great spirits transform him into a bear - the creature he hates most . befriended by a bear cub named koda , kenai sets out to regain his human form while his brother ( who doesn ' t realize kenai is now a bear ) pursues him on a mission of revenge and family honor . with breathtaking animation , powerful emotion and humor , this film introduces a memorable cast of characters and paints an unforgettable tale of courage , honor and self - discovery .
jason raize as denahi , the middle brother . ruben a . aquino served as the supervising animator for denahi and harold gould provided the voice of old denahi .
an old bear wandering around with three daughters ,
blaise says , laughing .
that didn ' t work .
the bear that the brothers fight near the beginning of the movie and that kenai kills seems to be an example of this .
, and stabs her to death , prompting sitka ' s ghost to turn kenai into a bear as punishment for his wrongdoings .
and he ' s completely unnerved by the fact the one that killed his mother even took on the form of a bear .

not one of disney’s better pictures , “brother bear” drags while the story is beginning . children in the audience did not seem to take interest in the film until the transformation of the man into the bear , at which time the film takes on an entirely different feeling . dove awards the dove seal to this film , but caution parents that they may want to be prepared to explain the differences between biblical teachings and superstitions .
this is the only brother bear film with narration , phil collins songs , and the black - and - orange disney logo . in the sequel , the characters perform their story on their own , the songs are performed by melissa etheridge , and the blue - and - white disney logo appears .
kenai refers to the bear he kills as a
monster
, only to later find out she was koda ' s mother .
the actress , 45 , who plays jenny bradley , branded the celebrity big brother housemate a “k * * bhead” before threatening violence against him in a series of tweets .
again , in the case of snow bear , i am learning everything i can about polar bear anatomy . i’ve even ordered castings of real polar bear skeletons to really get a sense of the underlying structure . once , you have a full understanding of the “real thing” and you can draw it from any angle or in any pose . you are now ready to start stylizing the character and finding your design .
in brother bear , kenai ( voice of joaquin phoenix ) is the youngest of three brothers . he is impetuous , careless , and very impatient for the coming - of - age ceremony where he will be assigned a
totem ,
a symbol that will guide him through life . but he is disappointed by the symbol he receives , a bear , symbolizing love . his brother sitka ( d . b . sweeny ) has the eagle , for leadership , and his brother denahi ( jason raize ) has the wolf , for wisdom . kenai does not think either the bear or the love it symbolizes are very important . when sitka is killed protecting his brothers from a bear , an enraged kenai kills it . the great spirits want to teach kenai a lesson , so they use the northern lights to transform him into the creature he despises . when denahi arrives , he thinks kenai has been killed , and so he hunts the bear , not realizing it is his own brother . kenai must make a journey , physical and spiritual , before he can become his true self . guided by a cheerfully chatty cub named koda ( jeremy suarez ) , kenai sets off for the place where he can return to human form . but denahi is pursuing them and other challenges lie ahead . the most important are the lessons kenai must learn about loss , love , and brotherhood .
the walt disney records soundtrack , due oct . 21 , features collins ' versions of

along with the respective blind boys and women ' s choir versions . it also boasts the film version and a single version of
no way out ( theme from brother bear ) .
but alaska looked like this huge cold desert , with endless forests , big mountains , wild rivers — pure nature . the brother bear story was set back in time about ten thousand years ago , right after the asian hunters crossed the then existing land bridge between asia and alaska . today it is the bering strait .
according to a new york times article from several months ago , brother bear cost about $ 90 million to make . even though it didn ' t break even , disney has to be at least mildly pleased with its performance . after all , they ' re giving it a nice 2 - disc set and everything .
so what happened here ? ,
you ask .
if grizz was such a great character and everyone had been so in love with michael clarke duncan ' s vocal performance , why then was grizz cut out of ' brother bear ' only to then be replaced by cute little koda ?
to be blunt , blaise , walker and williams learned a hard lesson very late in the game during the production of this animated feature . which was that they had accidentally built their movie around the wrong character . that - - when you got right down to it - -
brother bear
was about kenai ' s transformation both inside & out . how this troubled teen finally grew up , learned to be a better man by becoming a bear . and as long as grizz was still in this picture , with that oversized character serving as kenai ' s mentor ( rather than having kenai learning about kindness , compassion & responsibility by becoming koda ' s reluctant father figure ) ,
brother bear
just wasn ' t going to work . at least as a truly satisfying piece of cinematic storytelling .

very delightful - - my toddler loved the bears and the magical parts . he also has a brother and liked the ' brother ' roughhousing . one part that bothered me was how to explain the concept of revenge to my toddler . he kept talking about the mean bear and even yelled
get him
when the middle brother tried to kill the bear . yikes . but , i decided that it was probably not a concept my toddler would get , although it would offer a great chance to discuss this issue with an older child - - to help them see that there are always 2 sides to every situation . so - - while the little ones will love this movie because of all the fun animal parts - - my best suggestion is to downplay the violent side by pulling out the lollipop at that point . : )

i purchased this after my daughter earned a 100 on her spelling test ! she loves this mickey ' s twice upon a christmas . it is delightful , fun , and she most liked that this movie is divided into five short christmas stories featuring mickey , minnie , donald duck , goofy , pluto , daisy , and uncle scrooge . oh , and i cannot forget huey , dewey , louie .
enjoy ! scamp , tramp and angel in ' christmas scampimus ' . the audio is from christmas maximus from mickey ' s twice upon a christmas . cast : scamp as max angel as mona tramp as goofy the dog pound car as the train and the car i do not own copyright for the audio or movies used , all copyright for both clips and audio belong to disney .
this is the follow on from mickey ' s once upon a christmas , although it is not essential to have seen the first dvd as this dvd holds no relevance to it , other than being a disney christmas dvd ! ( and this one is better in my opinion ) mickey ' s twice upon a christmas is a selection of short stories , rather than a film . there are 5 stories and each story is about 10 minutes long . stories inlcude belles on ice , christmas impossible , christmas maximus , donald ' s gift and mickey ' s dog - gone christmas . my daughters favourites seem to be christmas impossible and mickey ' s dog - gone christmas . my favourite is probably donald ' s gift . however we enjoy all of them ! in my opinion this is a brilliant christmas dvd and is sure to get young children really excited over the festive season . it ' s classified as a u , which means it ' s suitable for absolutely all ages . i would say this dvd would best suit children upto around 10 years of age and is a good family dvd ( although i wouldn ' t really recommend to those without children ) . it is perfect for the run up to christmas and can teach children a number of things including morals , friendship and christmas spirit to name a few . my young daughter also learnt a lot of new things about christmas after watching mickey ' s twice upon a christmas . eg . reindeer , christmas carols , decorations . the whole dvd is in cgi which makes everything look brighter , bolder and more realistic than hand - drawn animation . 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 recommend mickey ' s twice upon a christmas to all children , families , disney fans and those looking for a nice inoffensive christmas dvd .
additionally , goofy ' s house appears to have a rather large front yard that extends off to the side where pete ' s house stood in both goof troop and mickey ' s once upon a christmas , meaning that pete ' s house is missing from where it ought to be in this special .
there were some wonderful lessons to learn in mickey’s twice upon a christmas . the best part about the lessons is that they are wrapped up in such entertaining trappings that children will not even know that they are learning ! this christmas special is one that i look forward to seeing every year and i hope that it will become a holiday favorite in your house , too !

this is classic disney christmas themed blu - ray and the question everyone will want to ask in the uk is can it play in uk players and the answer is yes as i have already purchased this and it played no problems . the opening storyline in twice upon a christmas is a visual treat in dvd but has turned into a reference quality blu - ray in every aspect of picture clarity colours and depth . this blu - ray also has a dts soundtrack making bass extension very deep . so is the upgrade from dvd worth it ? yes it is becuase not only do you get a blu - ray with both titles on it but you also get two dvds with once upon a christmas on one and twice upon a christmas on the other . the dvds are r1 usa so region locked whereas the blu - ray is region free .

while aging for cartoon characters is always uneven , it ' s worth noting that , in mickey ' s once upon a christmas , max , huey , dewey and louie were roughly the same age , being preteens . here , donald ' s nephews are still preteens , but max is now of college age .
christmas : impossible
has santa and an elf reference a horrible sleigh crash that occurred in 1964 . it ' s discussed later on in

gift of the magi plot : mickey trades in his harmonica for a chain for minnie ' s watch , and minnie sells her watch to get mickey a harmonica case .
meaningful echo : from
mickey ' s dog - gone christmas
:
who ' s my pal ? who ' s my pal ?
it ' s what mickey says to pluto early on and donner later saying it briefly shakes pluto from his depression .
mickey ' s revue
wilfred jackson may 25 : debut of goofy .
mickey ' s service station  first cartoon with mickey , donald , and goofy acting as a team . runner - up on the 50 greatest cartoons .
recycled animation : in the gift of the magi segment , mickey performs one of his dance moves from mickey ' s birthday party .
furry confusion : mickey is , well . . . pretty big for a mouse . and there ' s been at least a couple shorts where mickey encounters an actual tiny mouse .
in the previous special , mickey ' s once upon a christmas , the four of them were all children , with max presented as being even younger than his appearance in goof troop and donald ' s nephews presented as still living with him . this indicates that mickey ' s once upon a christmas took place at some point prior to the events of both ducktales ( in which the nephews , still as children , live with scrooge mcduck after donald joins the navy ) and goof troop ( in which max is an 11½ - year - old preteen ) . by the time of a goofy movie and quack pack , max , huey , dewey , and louie have all grown into high school - aged teenagers , with an extremely goofy movie having max grown further into a college - aged teenager . in the house of mouse tv series , max is still a teenager [ 1 ] but old enough to be employed as a parking valet , while huey , dewey , and louie ( who would at times sport designs resembling their quack pack designs ) are on the cusp of young adulthood . [ 2 ] because of this christmas special presenting donald ' s nephews as children at the same time that max is a young adult ( with the four even interacting together in the very last scene ) , mickey ' s twice upon a christmas is virtually irreconcilable with the larger continuity of all of the aforementioned tv shows , movies , and even its own predecessor mickey ' s once upon a christmas .
signature laugh : a quick , good - natured
ha - ha !
, which is largely newer than they think . while mickey ' s always had a shy giggle , the distinct
ha - ha !
that modern audiences recognize as mickey ' s laugh originates from wayne allwine ' s tenure as the mouse , and bret iwan ' s mickey continues the tradition because it ' s become inseparable from mickey ' s modern identity .
donald ' s gift
: donald wants a christmas of peace and quiet . the others want donald to enjoy christmas , but donald just becomes annoyed .
the quiet one : mickey was this in several of his 1930 ' s shorts .

christmas every day : huey , dewey and louie wish upon a star for christmas to be everyday . at first they are delighted , only to discover it ' s not just christmas everyday , but the exact same day even down to their presents from the previous day getting wrapped up again . after getting fed - up they try to ruin christmas to put an end to it . however they then notice a card from donald and daisy explaining the true meaning of christmas in being about family rather than presents , to which the boys embrace the christmas spirit and help everyone else enjoy christmas , thus breaking the time loop .

replacement scrappy : within the disney fandom , many fans of a goofy movie are not fond of mona . roxanne was max ' s high - school sweetheart , the girl he strives to get with the entire movie . come the sequel , she ' s nowhere to be found though that ' s due to the fact max goes to college . the last time she was seen was in an episode of house of mouse . come twice upon a christmas , he ' s exiting college and has a new girlfriend , mona . mona comes off as a replacement scrappy , though almost ten in - series years has passed since a goofy movie .
art evolution : mickey ' s design has changed in may ways , some subtle and some obvious , since the 1920 ' s .
chaste toons : in his comic strip , he was given a pair of nephews named morty and ferdie . they ' ve rarely appeared in animation ( their only appearances there being mickey ' s steamroller , a cameo in boat builders , and morty as tiny tim in mickey ' s christmas carol ) .
minnie dumps mickey for pete , who surprisingly acts like a gentleman in this short . the cartoon ends with mickey facing the viewers and sobbing .
the closing segment ,
mickey ' s dog - gone christmas
( 18 minutes ) , has mickey mouse overdoing his living room with lights and decorations . when pluto wrecks things , mickey gets mad and sends him to his doghouse . wrapped up in the superficial display rescue
on the other hand , goof troop itself also tended to forget that goofy and max first moved to spoonerville at the beginning of the series , with several episodes of the series treating goofy and max as having always lived in spoonerville next door to pete for many years . so , this is just a case of mickey ' s once upon a christmas simply reiterating a preexisting continuity error .
the strongest cartoon , with the funniest lines , is the last - in mickey ' s dog - gone christmas , pluto runs away , is befriended by santa ' s reindeer at the north pole , and renamed murray ( short for murray christmas ) .

punny name : donner names pluto
murray
as a spin on
merry christmas .
my 3 year old likes this movie , but given the choice he would choose the older mickey ' s christmas carol . i think that the short stories just don ' t have enough of a plot to hold his interest as much as a longer more developed story . however , overall it is a cute movie and we have watched it quite a few times ( even recently over a month and a half after christmas )
it is christmas eve , and mickey wants to get minnie a chain for her watch , while minnie wants to get mickey a case for his harmonica , but neither of them have any money . mickey is working at crazy pete ' s tree lot and makes a lot of money for his kindness and helping people . but when he suggests a poor family buy a small christmas tree that he found out back instead of one of pete ' s ten - foot christmas trees , pete takes away the money he has earned and kicks him out . pete then accidentally puts his still - lit cigar into his pocket , which eventually results in him setting his trees on fire . meanwhile , minnie is working in the gift - wrapping department at mortimer ' s department store , hoping that her christmas bonus from her boss , mortimer mouse , will be enough to pay for mickey ' s present . unfortunately , her christmas bonus is nothing but a fruitcake .
heroic bsod : mickey while searching for pluto . pluto is initially thrilled to be with the reindeer , but after seeing a cloud resembling mickey , he becomes depressed .
everything ' s louder with bagpipes : at the end of
christmas : impossible
, scrooge gets a set of bagpipes for christmas . he ' s unskilled and plays loudly . santa saw this coming and sent huey , dewey and louie earplugs .
a very goofy christmas : when max begins to question santa ' s existence after pete questions him with santa ' s apparently impossible abilities , goofy is determined to keep his faith alive .
clothes make the legend : mickey ' s red shorts , buttons , white gloves and oversized shoes are iconic .
alice allusion : the short thru the mirror features mickey walking through a mirror to enter a fantasy land , and battles a deck of playing cards , only to wake up from his dream . to drive the reference home , a copy of through the looking glass is seen next to mickey ' s bed .
donald & pluto : billed as a mickey mouse short , although he is completely absent from it .
badass adorable : in kingdom hearts , epic mickey and whenever a short or comic calls for it .
lend a paw : semi - remake of
mickey ' s pal pluto
. also won the 1941 academy award , beating out the debut of max fleischer ' s first superman cartoon .
in
christmas maximus ,
goofy ' s son max is mortified by his father ' s silly antics and , in
donald ' s gift ,
donald ' s craving for peace and quiet threatens to ruin the whole family ' s holiday fun .
mickey ' s dog - gone christmas
finds mickey so absorbed in planning the perfect christmas party that he lashes out at pluto and almost loses a very special friend forever . while the animation style is new , what hasn ' t changed is disney ' s commitment to stories with wholesome values : mickey and the gang remind viewers that the holiday season is not about selfishness , flashy parties , and expensive gifts , but about selflessness and the celebration of family and friends . - - tami horiuchi

the initial idea for the mickey and pluto segment involved mickey sending pluto off to the north pole to compete in the reindeer games . however , the animators decided that they wanted the segment to feature mickey more .
orphan ' s benefit : a shot for shot remake of the 1934 short .
i bought this as part of my nephew ' s xmas gift cause he was in love with mickey ' s once upon a christmas , and he loves this one just as much . i thought it would be traditional 2d animation rather than cgi but either way he still watches it . it has more stories in it than the original ( 5 rather than 3 ) . it still gives the feeling of traditional disney regardless of the aesthetics .

, which stresses him out to the point where he finally snaps and destroys a christmas exhibition . this causes daisy and his nephews to ditch him , and a security guard chews him out for having no christmas spirit . he ' s supposed to be a grumpy , unlikable christmas hater , but it ' s easy to feel sorry for him when many of his christmas - related grievances are in fact legitimate , and no one ever seems to care about how he feels .

in 1990 , disney gave him another featurette ,
the prince and the pauper
, where mickey received a central role in a cartoon for the first time in decades . 1995 then proceeded to give us a darker and edgier update of the character , via the theatrical cartoon runaway brain , obviously borrowing influence from the more adventurous mickey of the floyd gottfredson comics . unfortunately , it caused a big stir among parents , causing the short to fall into company discontinuity and mickey ' s cartoon career was once again put on ice — well , theatrical cartoon career , for disney blessed mickey with a tv revival called mickey mouse works , later retooled into house of mouse . essentially lower budget versions of the original cartoons , both programs went on to be big hits . in 2004 , mickey recieved a direct - to - video film along with donald and goofy called mickey donald goofy the three musketeers . in 2006 , mickey received a pre - school show called mickey mouse clubhouse .

“donald’s gift” – donald duck is not feeling the christmas spirit – especially when daisy and the boys drag him off to the mall for christmas shopping ! everywhere he turns , someone is playing “we wish you a merry christmas” and it is driving donald crazy ! all he wants to do is go home and enjoy some hot chocolate . can donald find a way to show he has the christmas spirit before it is too late ?
alright , alright… it’s christmas movie season ! ! sooo let me help ya find your favorite movie . here’s the scoop… where and when to watch tv classics this holiday season !
the opening walt disney pictures logo animates over a red christmas ornament in a tree . the rest of the opening credits are also shown on ornaments .
gender flip : in the original story of the gift of the magi , jim owned a watch , for which della bought a chain . in this version , minnie owns a watch , for which mickey buys a chain .
my god , what have i done ? : the boys after their attempts to shake up their holiday end up ruining everyone ' s christmas , prompting them to make the next christmas better for everyone .
the sorcerer ' s apprentice ( released as segment # 3 in fantasia and inspired the sorcerer version of mickey mouse that became the studio ' s corporate icon for home entertainment through the 80 ' s and early 90 ' s with the 1986 walt disney home video logo and the early 90 ' s walt disney classics logos . )
while nothing will top opening the gifts that were left by santa claus himself on christmas eve , a lot more memories also come from sitting by the christmas tree or fireplace with family and friends watching some of the great christmas classics that have been on tv for decades .
was too hard on him : mickey sends pluto to his doghouse after his attempt to put the star on the christmas tree ended up with all of mickey ' s decorations destroyed . later , when mickey fixes everything , he begins to feel bad for how he yelled at him and goes to the doghouse to apologize , only to find that pluto had run away .
and while the house ' s exterior does bear a decent resemblance to that of the goof house seen in goof troop its interior more closely resembles that of the very different - looking goof house seen in mickey ' s once upon a christmas , which itself had a completely different interior room layout ( as well as a very different exterior design ) from the house seen in goof troop ( e . g . - the living room and kitchen sit on opposite sides of the house , instead of both sharing the same side and back end of the house like they did in goof troop ) . since goofy and max only first moved into their goof troop house in that series ' s first episode , the house they lived in in
mickey ' s once upon a christmas
has to have been a different house that they lived in prior to their first moving to spoonerville . so , if goofy , in this special , is supposed to still be living in the same house he ' s lived in since goof troop , the inside of the house really shouldn ' t resemble the very different house from the first special , yet it does , further adding to this special ' s inconsistencies with all that came before it .
after saving christmas , the boys start to walk out of the factory feeling sorry that they were unable to get on santa ' s good list . but as they walk , they see an elf janitor open santa ' s list room . the boys rush in , tell the janitor about a mess somewhere else , and find the list for duckburg . just as they begin to write their names on the list , the boys think twice and instead write down uncle scrooge ' s name .

very cute movie . my son loves mickey and requests this movie often , i don ' t mind because it ' s a good story . will be enjoying it a lot on our upcoming road trip .
frazzled by mall shopping and incessant caroling , donald duck knows what
donald’s gift
should be : a little peace and quiet . but he ' s a softy at heart , and winds up realizing the value of shared holiday experiences . finally , in
mickey’s dog - gone christmas ,
mickey ( wayne allwine ) regrets yelling at pluto for knocking down his decorated tree . pluto runs away and gets an offer to become an honorary reindeer - - will santa’s sleigh guide the pooch home to his repentant master ?
in 1940 , disney tried to give mickey a comeback via the sorcerer ' s apprentice segment of fantasia . unfortunately , the film bombed and thus negated this comeback . during this time , mickey was slightly redesigned to have more expressive eyes than before .
as time went by , mickey ' s shorts became less and less frequent in number , overshadowed by his contemporaries and reduced to a bit player . while another attempt at a comeback was done via the mickey and the beanstalk segment of fun and fancy free , it was once again a failure . in 1953 , disney finally retired mickey , with the last of his original theatrical cartoons being the simple things .
bought for our christmas eve box . the kids love it and have watched it loads of times since christmas ! for reference my children are 7 and 5 .
, accidentally destroys mickey ' s christmas decorations before the big party that wraps up the whole film . wracked with guilt , pluto runs away to the north pole and gets befriended by a group of santa ' s reindeer . naturally mickey is distraught with the loss of his pup , and goes off on a madcap search for pluto . will he find him in time for christmas ? what , did you just tune into this review or something ? suffice to say , everything earns doubt feistily in the pen .
disney ' s biggest stars shine in this magical and heartwarming film . mickey , minnie , and their friends goofy , donald , daisy , and pluto gather to reminisce in five wonder - filled stories of christmas past .
evil is bigger : mickey commonly faces and triumphs over foes bigger than him like pete , various giants and a gorilla .
find out who’s been naughty and who’s been nice in an all - new christmas celebration . santa claus , mickey mouse and all his disney pals star in an original movie about the importance of opening your heart to the true spirit of christmas . watch the hilarious antics of stubborn old donald as he tries in vain to resist the joy of the season , and laugh along with mickey and pluto as they learn a great lesson about the power of friendship . through the magic of
killer gorilla : in
the gorilla mystery
, a monstrous gorilla breaks out of a local zoo and kidnaps minnie mouse , forcing mickey to chase it down into a derelict house and rescue minnie .
species surname : although the disney company strangely insists that it ' s just his surname , and that mickey is not an actual mouse .
donner : who ' s pluto ? blitzen : i think he ' s murray . donner : murray ' s pluto ? blitzen : bingo . donner : bingo ' s pluto ? blitzen : [ beat ] yes .
happily failed suicide : an old comic book story . mickey jumps off a bridge but lands on a boat . an angry sailor ( who resembles pete ) yells that he throws stowaways overboard . mickey starts pleading by saying he can ' t swim .
adaptation personality change : mickey may be an odd variation in that it was his adaptation interpretations that avoided such a change . while the mickey of classic disney shorts was slowly tamed into the everyman , the comics continued to refer to his earlier more adventurous and abrasive persona for a long period of time . epic mickey even plays with this , allowing you to choose between evolving mickey into either his former or latter persona .
mickey donald goofy the three musketeers is an adaptation of the story the three musketeers .
underestimating badassery : especially in shanghaied , two - gun mickey , and runaway brain .
