Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas

Another classic DVD Christmas special I like is “Mickey’s Twice Upon A Christmas.” It’s the most beautiful and festive holiday DVD from Disney that you can get. The belles of the ball, which is the first story was very beautiful and dazzling, especially the ringing of the hand bells and the choir singing in the background. Not to mention the who spectacular ice show Minnie and Daisy perform, to compete with each other than they combine their shows for an special performance. Talk about a last minute effort to be put on Santa’s list, Hewey Dewey and Luie, Donald’s nephews send themselves to the northpole in an attempt to put themselves on Santa’s list. But they mess things up in the production room and toys are piled and scattered everywhere. So although they finally get the key, they go into the room with the list and although the had the opportunity to place their names on Santa’s list, they put their uncle Scrooge’s name on Santa’s list instead thinking of others. (Remember to look in the scene where Santa is taking a nap in his office, for the clock on his wall is a Mickey head shaped clock. (Hidden Mickey) So although everyone’s holiday is hectic, it was funny when Max took his girlfriend to see his dad to spend Christmas at his house. Then he tells his dad to play it cool an try not to impress her or show off in front of his girlfriend. How funny was is that Goofy overdecorated his house with lights, and shows Max’s girlfriend the baby picture he has enlarged and framed of his son Max. So although he walks out to be away from his dad, they all get back together after Goofy pops some popcorn with Max’s girlfriend, which pops like crazy and fills the house with popcorn. Afterwards they all end up on the roof and making snow angels in the popcorn piles.
And I couldn’t believe it how accurate they were within one of the stories of when Donald comes home from the stores exausted and sips hot chocolate in his chair in front of the fireplace. Then his girlfriend Daisy comes in with Donald’s nephews. Daisy reminds Donald that he promised to take everyone to the mall for Christmas shopping, and go to Mousies to view their Christmas display. Donald was in no mood to go out, being exhausted as he was he was determined to put his foot down and demanded that he was to stay home. Next thing he knows, he’s in the mall with disbelief. The funny part was when Donald went bonkers and was angry with rage as the song “We wish you a merry Christmas.” Was played with the various things in the mall one right after another. Then in desperation, he runs and hides into a room where it’s dark. Thinking he’s safe, he finds a light switch, turns it on, and then suddenly he’s in Mousey’s Christmas display exhibit. They all play the Song and it drives Donald to insanity as he wrecks the exhibit and all the singing robots to get them to shut up. When the curtain comes up, and everyone sees what Donald has done, Hewey denies that Donald is his uncle. He does make it up in the end by assisting with the outdoor singing chorus.
And even the final story where Pluto runs away after Mickey yelled at him for wrecking the holiday decorations he had set up for the party. You can tell that he over did it, and even his second attempt to buy more decorations, they get knocked off the car and into the street as he drives through a low opening tunnel. Then a huge truck comes afterwards and smashes the decorations to bits. Sure meanwhile Pluto is adopted by the reindeers as Murryk, but Santa discovers him and brings him back to Mickey. (There’s a Mickey symbol carved into the wood of one of the walls of the stables) I still enjoy finding the Hidden Mickeys from time to time. The DVD is fun to watch for the holidays, and I love it.
