Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas AmazonInstantVideo

Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas is an animated direct-to-video Christmas film produced by DisneyToon Studios in 1999. The movie features three original short segments starring Mickey Mouse and his friends. The first story is "Stuck on Christmas", an adaptation of Willaim Dean Howells' short story Christmas Every Day featuring Donald Duck and his nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie. The second segment, "A Very Goofy Christmas", stars Goofy trying to restore his son Max's faith after he is led to believe that Santa Claus isn't real. And the third and final story, "Mickey and Minnie's Gift of the Magi", features Mickey and Minnie Mouse trying to gather enough money to buy the perfect gifts for each other. The movie won the Award for Best Animated Featured Film at the 5th Kecskemét Animation Film Festival, and was also nominated for the 2000 Annie Award for Best Animated Home Entertainment Production, which it lost to An Extremely Goofy Movie. A loose sequel, Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas, followed in 2004. (more...)
