| Holiday DVDI am very happy with this purchase. I was a little worried about buying a used DVD, but it was so much cheaper that I thought I would give it a shot. I am very happy that I did because it's just like new. Great disney cartoons.
FantasticAmong the best DVDs in my Christmas collection, all three of the included featurettes are top-notch releases...and I'm not even a big Disney fan.
"The Small One," a tearjerker from 1978 directed by Don Bluth, is the story of a young boy and an old little donkey, and what ends up happening to them on the first Christmas (although that aspect of the story ends up being secondary). Small One must be sold because he's become of no practical use to the boy's family. The animation in this feature is spectacular and you'll find yourself wondering why other releases from the same era couldn't have held to this standard. Wonderful storytelling in that classic Disney style.
"Pluto's Christmas Tree," a great Christmastime short from 1952 featuring Chip and Dale and their battle with Pluto over (or in) Mickey's Christmas tree. Funny and warm and just plain great.
"Mickey's Christmas Carol," the usual story told with Disney characters, from 1983. It actually feels older than that, feels more classically Disney even though by that time Disney had long since abandoned the regular use of these characters in animated releases. Mickey gets top billing even though he plays the Cratchit character and it's Scrooge McDuck who plays, of course, Scrooge. Those familiar with Donald Duck's usual antics will be surprised as his appearance here as a very sweet and kindhearted nephew Fred. Fantastic, first-rate fare even though it might feel a little rushed at only 25 minutes.
Enjoyable Christmas Treats from the MouseThis DVD contains three features for your Christmas celebration. All three are considered shorts, so they clock in at just under an hour combined.
Up first was the new to DVD "The Small One." This story tells the tale of a boy who must go to town to sell his favorite donkey. After an all day search, he finds a man who needs a donkey to carry his pregnant wife to Bethlehem. Yes, I did the references to the Biblical story a bit surprising. There are some fun moments here, but for the most part, it was rather bland.
The other two features were also released as part of Mickey Mouse in Living Color Vol. 2. Up first is "Pluto's Christmas Tree" which finds Pluto trying to defend Mickey's house and their decorations from Chip 'n' Dale. I always forget just how much fun this one is.
Finally, there's "Mickey's Christmas Carol." It attempts to tell the story of the Dickens classic in less than half an hour, and mostly succeeds. It's entertaining and the best thing here.
This disc was released in 2005. So, as Disney always does, it is now out of print. But the good news is they released a disc titled Mickey's Christmas Carol this year that has all three of these cartoons on it plus one more.
Very pleased.I contacted the seller because DVD was used but in good condition however upon further inspection I noticed that it had a scratch on it; since it is for my young son for Christmas I wanted to be certain I wouldn't have a problem and if I did that I would have recourse. I was immediatedly contacted & the situation was immediately rectified, very happy with such fabulous customer service...
