Nice stories well done, with good music, while finding each main character of Disney... Excellent to see at Christmas.

An ideal Christmas cartoon to occupy young children impatient for the arrival of December 25th.

A very pleasant moment like every like all the Disney among others for Mickey a good family moment

the film is so cute and touching, perfect for Christmas, sends beautiful messages to children. I highly recommend it .

This film, directed by various animators from Disney and released in 1999, is not too bad. The film consists of three stories, each obviously carrying a rather benevolent message, which is inevitable in a cartoon of this kind, especially when it's Disney during the Christmas period. In short, the first story revolves around sharing during the end of year celebrations, the second is centered on the preservation of one's child's soul once an adult and finally the last is also centered on sharing but more in the anti sense. - capitalism of the term (quite funny coming from Disney). The most successful stories are, finally in my opinion, the first and the last which, even if the plot is ultra-known and revisited thousands of times, are still quite touching, especially during this holiday season end of years. But they are also adapted stories, unlike the second which is a completely original production. It is not missed but I do not find it extraordinary, in particular the first part in the supermarket which frankly does not serve much, except to accumulate the gags a little easy. But this film is also for me a bit of a Proust madeleine from my childhood, especially when he was on the M6 ​​show "Disney Party: Waiting for Christmas" almost every year for a while. on December 24, so I see it today more out of nostalgia than anything else. "Mickey, Once Upon a Time Christmas" is therefore not an essential Christmas film, nor even excellent, but in front of which we pass in any case a pleasant moment!

3 stories, 3 characters for 3 very different situations but both in the chronology of the holidays. From the first or Donald's nephews want Christmas ad infinitum but weariness and continuous repetitions end up letting them know that once a year is more than enough. The father and the son Goofy or one dream of the man in red and the father obsessing over the event, doing a lot, too much or not enough to end in beauty and "all simplicity". Sinister's presence brought the "useful" rude and arrogant tone to the scene. Ending up with Mickey, Minnie and Pluto in a precarious family and wanting each other to offer the best gift, all with the arrogance and capitalist superiority of the respective bosses. 3 intelligent, very dynamic stories, playing with sincerity and totally immersing us in all the possible but so realistic Christmas clichés, with of course, the common moral that suits us so well at each end.

I'm going back to Disney for this summer after the few (beautiful) discoveries of last summer. To get off to a good start, nothing better than "Mickey, Once Upon a Time Christmas", a charming children's story around the 3 main protagonists of the Disney universe: Mickey, Goofy and Donald. Each having its own story around Christmas, the review will be articulated around 3 axes: the very first story takes the same features as a "Jour sans fin" with Bill Murray where Donald's nephews wish to live eternally on the day of Christmas until exhaustion. Full of gags, sympathetic secondary characters but also a real melodramatic touch, this story is a pure success. The second tells the story of the belief around Santa Claus that Max, Goofy's nephew, will quickly question. This tale is much more mature and more dramatic with Pat Hibulaire as an excellent cantankerous neighbor. If the first part in the supermarket is disappointing, the second around the desire to share its Christmas meal with families in need or waiting for Santa Claus raises the level. Finally, the third and last story with Mickey is probably the least successful. If the charm operates and the message conveyed is necessary for the children, the story is not as dramatic or funny as the first ones. If this film is complicated for me to rate it, in particular because it rocked my childhood, I highly recommend it for the end-of-year celebrations to your children who will find tears, laughter and emotions perfect for reuniting the whole family after a delicious meal. A touch of nostalgia from my childhood!

An excellent cartoon, very pleasant to watch on Christmas Eve or during the holidays. Very beautiful little stories, where we find all the most famous and endearing Disney characters, all to music, and always with beautiful morals. To see, for young and old!!!

This movie is superb! 1 hour of laughter, relaxation, in front of the famous Disney characters. I adore !

While waiting for Christmas, I revise my classics by watching some Christmas movies with this nice Disney movie that teaches us a lot about what the Christmas spirit is in general. I recommend it for young and old with lots of laughter, nostalgia but also emotion because I have often been moved by the magic of Christmas. The soundtrack is also good, especially the end song which marked me a lot when I was little...

“We wish you a Merry Christmas! We wish you a Merry Christmas! We wish you…” There is probably a little too much “We wish you a Merry Christmas” in this film, but that is also what makes it so charming. If you don't like Christmas, this isn't the movie for you. I love the end of year celebrations, and I love this film, full of magic and good feelings. After viewing, we would already like to be at Christmas. Regarding the qualities of the film: the animation is neat, the stories are nice, without shining by their originality. I really like the last painting with Mickey and Minie, its message of personal concession by love alone sums up the magic of Christmas. The music and the songs are the big flaw of the film. Christmas carols will, in fact, tend to hit us on the system (especially in the first table, which takes up the context of the film “The Endless Day”). I still prefer the aura of the film "Mickey's Christmas", which is much more poetic and magical. I still suggest you watch this film during the holidays, you won't regret it.
