MICKEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL 30TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION (HOME VIDEO)

All my kids enjoyed this movie and it was nostalgic for me as I watched it when I was young. It has several bonus animated short films at the end with Goofy, Donald Duck, Chipmunks, etc. There are no words, but they are entertaining and funny and my kids loved them as well.

This is my favorite Christmas video. I've read all of Dickens' works (English majors pretty much have to do those sorts of things), and found this short piece particularly evocative. But Disney managed to make it comic as well. And it is a comedy, in that it ends happily ever after. I splurged for the HD version, and on my Kindle Fire HD, it is superb. I also appreciate the captions, which are not always in sync on Amazon vids. This is well worth the money, especially if you have kids, or like me, still harbor a bit of kid in yourself. This is a feel good family tradition flick. Get it, because it's not easy to find in the stores and it does not show on mainstream TV during the holidays. One would think it would these days, what with all the fascination producers have for zombies and grim fairy tales.

Wonderful Disney Classic!

This is an amazing Disney classic and it’s definitely one that everyone with kids should have in their collection!

This was the VERY start of the second golden age of Disney animation. Without this there wouldn't been a 'Little Mermaid','Beauty and the Beast' or 'Lion King'. Disney took quite a chance on this as they had a lot riding on how this did. It's certainly possible that the Disney we know today would be far different than it is. I don't really like Michael Eisner but he sure was right about taking a chance on this. The shorts contained on this are as follows: 1. All-new 'Yodelberg' which is Disney's latest attempt to update Mickey to make him more reverent today. It doesn't fail but it's not a home-run either. I didn't care a whole lot for the story or Mickey's voice - I would rate this a 3 out of 5 stars. 2. 'Hockey Champ' was next. It's a Donald and his nephews piece that I don't believe I've seen before. It's cute and filled with imaginative parts. I would rate this one 4.5 out of 5 stars. 3. 'Pluto's Christmas Tree' was next. I have seen this a couple of times. It is very cute and well done. I would rate this one at least a 4.75 out of 5. 4. 'The Art of Skiing' was 4th with Goofy. This was well done and had many good parts however Goofy has never been a big favorite of mine. I would rate this a 4.25 out of 5.0. 5. 'Corn Chips' was the last bonus short. It is Donald with Chip and Dale. It was very, very cute. I would rate this one a 4.5 out of 5. And last was the headliner - "Mickey's Christmas Carol'. I watched this on a 51 inch top-of the-line LCD. I felt the picture and sound were as good as they could be. In fact the picture on all of the shorts was exceptional. I was impressed with the restoration. The only way this could have been better, for me, would have been to have some added scenes that had been cut, etc. 'Mickey's Christmas Carol' is the rare 'movie' that would benefit from being 15 or 20 minutes longer. I would rate this 4.75 to 5.0 out of 5. The 3 songs as a intermission were just ok - would of been nice to have 2 or 3 more songs. My only other very minor complaint is it would have been great to have 1 or 2 more Christmas/winter shorts. Overall I would rate this a VERY, VERY HIGH 9.75 out of 10 stars - VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I know a lot of people here have complained about the digital restoration, but if you're like me and you only have your old VHS copy of the '80s it will look great to you. The picture is really clear but there are a few spots where they brightened it up so much that it looks a little odd depending on how good your TV screen is. Like I said, compared to my ancient old tape where the picture was so dark and dirty it looks nice and clean, but if you already have one of the previous DVD releases then you can skip this one. However, what makes this blu ray for me are the shorts included, whose restoration look very good. It's very hard to find these shorts outside of trying to track down the out of print Disney Treasures or Classic Cartoon Favorites DVDs. There is also a Disney Christmas Carol sing-along included in the features. The shorts are: Yodelberg (all-new Minnie and Mickey) The Hockey Champ (Donald and his nephews) Pluto's Christmas Tree (Pluto and Chip & Dale) The Art of Skiing (Goofy) Corn Chips (Donald and Chip & Dale) So if you're buying this for the first time on disc format then it's worth your money, but if you already have it on DVD then you can skip it if you don't care about the shorts. The digital restoration isn't as good as the Diamond Edition series, as you would expect, but it's clean and bright, and your kids will love being introduced to this classic!

So fun!!!!!

Schnell geliefert, Artikel annehmbar (ist eben VHS), alles gut!

After so many years, I was so happy to find this classic and finally be capable to buy it. I saw this with some other Disney classics on TV with my son since the moment they were released and I never forget the beauty of it. I also own the “Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas” that was also showed later. Every time I’m watching these, it’s reminding me so many wonderful moments that they became priceless to me. They are part of a long and marvelous tradition that I now want to pass on to my grandson. The sound and the image are stunning, but If only because of the values they highlight, it’s worth their price. 5 stars. Go for it.

Me encanta esta adaptación que le dan al cuento de navidad y a parte los cortos que tiene son buenos y algunos novedosos porque tiene una de las caricaturas que saco Disney después del 2010 con Mickey y Minnie con suecos, me da a entender que remasterizaron y volvieron a producirla, me encantó; yo insisto en qué mucha gente seguiría comprando el bluray, lo único que desagrada de las productoras es que todo lo ven con ojos de dinero y elevan mucho los precios, pero vale mucho la pena

It was great I love the film

Fue para regalo. La persona le gustó mucho porque este especial, es difícil de encontrar (el Disney+ de América Latina no lo tiene) y se ve muy bien.
