Summary: Don¿t waste your money!
Review: Absolutely disappointing!!! If you want to make a Christmas surprise for your little one forget this expensive DVD. Mickey Mouse and all his pals (old and new) are meeting at the House of Mouse and spending time on uninteresting conversations, unimpressive gags, and non-catchy songs. There are four cartoons interjected in Ricky Lake-like show. "Donald Duck" skating lesson and Mickey Mouse Christmas tree picking are classics and worthy of watching but they are only 5 minutes each. The only feature on this DVD my three-year old was salivating was the story of Scrooge with Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and Goofy. But do you really want to spend over (dollar amount) for 25 minutes worth of cartoons? I grew up on Disney cartoons and I am initiating my daughter to Disney, but this is simply a rip-off!

Summary: Ba! Humbug!
Review: All the classic Disney stars are here but only for a split second! Don't blink, you might miss Snow White even though she's featured on the cover. The animation is not up to Disney standards nor are the songs! Stick with "Mickey's Christmas Carol"!

Summary: Mickey's Magical Christmas - Snowed in at the House of Mouse
Review: Curiosity won out when I was considering buying Mickey's Magical Christmas on DVD. I thought the idea to make an all star Christmas movie was a good one, I did not know at the time that a TV show of this existed. The animation is the quality of a TV show, but to see many characters that span Disney's long legacy is worth getting the video.

The movie centers around everyone trying to get Donald into the spirit, by showing old Christmas videos. Two of the 4 videos shown are recent, but the real gems are two old cartoons from my childhood. One is about Pluto vs Chip & Dale, when they sneak into Mickey's Christmas Tree and the other is "Mickey's Christmas Carol" (a title that I was hoping would have a DVD release one day, and it surprisingly came this week).

The DTS 5.1 Soundtrack isn't extraordinary, but more than adequate for this type of release. Most of the surround is used to split the music.

Mickey's Magical Christmas will without a doubt keep kids in front of the TV and quite possibly, the movie fans who grew up with all of these characters with be right there with them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Holiday DVD for the young ones!
Review: Granted this is not Disney's best work but it is a featured filled DVD that is great for the holidays. My four year old daughter just loved this DVD and it kept my 10 month old occupied. Sure there are better Disney movies but many of them are to intense for kids under the age of seven. This movie can be shown to a child of any age. It includes the classic one with Pluto going through the Christmas tree looking for Chip and Dale. It also has the vintage Disney telling of a Christmas Carol. This DVD includes sing alongs and the original House of Mouse epsiode. Yes it is a little busy but my daughter loved finding the various characters throughout the movie. The video transfer is first rate, you can definitely tell the older circa 1950s classic cartoons but they are of good quality as well considering their age. The DTS 5.1 soundtrack is first rate and well compete with any DTS 5.1 soundtrack from any movie. If you have kids under the age of seven they are sure to enjoy this heartwarming DVD.

Summary: Dear Disney: Release Mickey's Christmas Carol on DVD!
Review: Hey I know it's on this shabby DVD, which is why I've purchased it! However (aside from the Pluto cartoon which is really good) this video is slapped-together rubbish. Since the "House of Mouse" cartoon seemed decent whenever I caught a little bit of it, I thought it would be ok... AND I'd have Mickey's Christmas Carol on DVD! This is a grand disappointment. Everything else really brings this DVD down. Sure I can skip to the good stuff but I shouldn't have to!

Kids might enjoy this, though, because it has many characters featured, even if just for a glance. For other Mickey fans: get the "Walt Disney Treasure: Mickey Mouse in Living Color" DVD set, that looks much more promising... wait until Christmas Carol is featured by itself (maybe with the making of.. or some other special features). Do NOT buy this only for M's CC because the rest is annoying and of poor quality.

Summary: I wish I could have read this before I bought this DVD!
Review: I am one of the biggest Disney fan's you'll find. I buy every video (DVD) they make practically and have been going to Disneyland every year since I was born, save a few here and there. This DVD was one of the biggest disappointment's Disney has served up since Pocahontas followed Beauty and the Beast. Especially if you bought Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas. This video IS that video, with a couple of POORLY animated comments in-between. They obviously knew that the Disney loyals would run out and buy it right away, and the non-Disney loyals would take a chance on it. PLEASE don't. Don't be fooled.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Viewing All Year Through
Review: I bought this movie and enjoyed it a great deal. My granddaughter liked it (age 2). It is a movie to watch all year through, it promotes family togetherness and the giving spirit of the Christmas season.

Summary: Where are the princesses???
Review: I bought this video for my 3 year old who loves the Disney princesses and she kept asking while watching the movie, "where are the princesses?" I would like to know that too!! This movie was completely marketed as a lie!! I wish I would have saved my money!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I think most of the reviewers wasted thier time
Review: I can't believe that Disney is taking Cinderella II: Dreams Come True, and The Return to Neverland out of stock next year and this is still going to be out on video and dvd (at least for a couple more years). If you know a House of Mouse fan, this may be a good movie for them. But still I have seen some reviewers give this below 3 stars. I just think they have wasted thier time watching this movie. The movie starts with Mickey Mouse (Wayne Allwine) finshing a House of Mouse show on Christmas Eve. But the guests and Mickey's House of Mouse staff can't go home because they are snowed in at the House of Mouse. So Mickey decides to have a party (and going on with the show at the House of Mouse). But then Mickey has another problem Donald Duck (Tony Anselmo) can't get into the Chistmas spirit and keeps saying "Christmas bah, humbug". So Mickey starts showing short cartoons. And some longer ones like "the nutcracker".
