Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas [DVD]

Product Information

The first story is inspired by "Christmas Every Day" by William Dean Howells. On Christmas morning, Donald's three nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie are excited because they get lots of presents, but Donald is angered after he sees them opening them before the rest of the family arrives. Even so, Donald shrugs it off and surprises his nephews with three sleds from him, but unfortunately miss the Christmas card Donald left on the sleds. When Daisy, Scrooge, and their Aunt Gertie come over for Christmas, the boys rush past them to go out and enjoy their new sleds. When Daisy calls the boys in for dinner, they use bad table manners by rudely eating the food and burping a lot. When Scrooge asks everyone to sing carols, the boys decides to play with their toys rather than participating. At bedtime, the boys are sad because Christmas is over, so they make a wish on a star in the sky that it could be Christmas every day. Sim, Bernardo (November 29, 2019).

Goofy tries to prove to Max that Santa Claus really does exist by staying up late and watching for him. After quite a few hours of waiting, Goofy sees someone coming out of the chimney on Pete's roof believing it must be Santa, but it turns out to be a burglar robbing Pete's house. Goofy then falls off the roof and goes into a deep depression, now believing that everything Max said was true. Max eventually cheers his dad up by dressing as Santa Claus himself. After Goofy finds out it's actually Max, they look up into the sky and see the real Santa Claus, who gives Max the snowboard he wanted and then blows the snow from Goofy's house onto Pete's house to teach him a lesson. Max then tells his dad that he is going to go share his present with little Jimmy, the poor kid next door. The narrator explains that Christmas is found in the way that we live by not what we receive but by what we give. When the boys wake up the next morning, they find that their wish came true, and it is now Christmas every day. The boys initially enjoy this, but as days turned to weeks, they soon grow bored and out of spirit, to the point where they almost go insane with experiencing the same events every day. They then decide to change the day with pranks to 'lighten things up', including swapping the cooked turkey with a live one. Unfortunately, this day turns out to be the worst day possible for Christmas. After learning how hard their family has tried to make Christmas better from the aftermath of the destruction of the decorations, and the letter Donald and Daisy wrote for them, the boys feel guilty for their pranks. They decide to make amends and make the next day the best Christmas Day ever. Plus, the city that Goofy and Max live in during "A Very Goofy Christmas" is never actually named, so it very well might not be Spoonerville, but could very well be the other city that Goofy and Max first lived in before they move to Spoonerville (the two would have simply had to have first moved out of their house from this special and into their trailer at some point between this special and Goof Troop for everything to line up).

When Max wakes up to see "Don't forget Max" it is 4:39. But when he wakes up to hear Goofy yelling, it is only 3:00, There is a possible explanation this scene was animated first, but ended up later in the film. They switch the turkey with ham and give Aunt Gertie exclusive kisses, but Donald was suspicious of all their sudden good deeds. When he confronts his nephews about it, he finds out they had built a boat (made from their sleds) just for him. Donald was grateful for the boys having done that for him, and soon after, the family shares a group hug while singing a Christmas carol in front of the tree. The next day, the boys wake up happy to find out that Christmas finally ends. They then use the boat they made to go sledding with Donald, but they accidentally push Donald too much, which causes the boat to fall apart and have Donald fly straight into a snowman. In the end, the narrator explains that even though Christmas can't always be here, the feeling it gives us can always be here. Thomas, Michael (December 4, 2022).
