After getting this DVD from the library last year, I knew that my son was a mammoth fan of Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas. In fact, so was my husband. He’s an artist, and very significant of shoddy animation. However, with this DVD, he often comments on the well-done, vibrant images of computer animation. (If you’re a parent of a child, you probably already know how shoddy some of the CGI can be in kid videos! Happily, this is not rendered poory like some movies.) In fact, I was amazed at how Mickey’s sweater looked so dependable, as well as the snow-covered trees, holiday lights and Christmas trees, Minnie and Daisy’s gossamer skating outfits, and so on.

An launch “Storybook” presents each epic, and we are whisked away into five magical stories showing true-to-life situations curious relationships. (And you KNOW how the whole family/relationship thing can gather during holidays… *wince*) .

Clever writing abounds, as well as numerous sight-gags. My son and I contemplate it’s hilarious when Huey, Dewey and Louie burp to a Christmas song–and when Daisy implores Donald to “say something!”, he burps in response.

For those who believe this DVD is mean attractive and violent, I have to say it seems like I was watching an entirely different movie than they apparently were… I mean, the classic Huey, Dewey and Louie keen shorts AND comics always presented their mischief. In fact, in the recent theatrical shorts, the nephews were sent to live with Donald because their father was in the hospital! Why? Because the boys sent him there by putting firecrackers under his chair! (So I hardly judge that ol’ Walt is rolling in his grave. Lighten up, people–this is the guy that gave us Fantasia! You know, the movie that features Night on Bald Mountain, the song about the nocturnal demon Chernabog who summons restless souls from their graves until driven away by the sound of a church bell.)

If you want to contemplate wicked kid programs, try renting a Thomas the Tank Engine DVD!

Granted, the Minnie/Daisy catfight and pettiness was surprising (thus, the reason I’m giving it four stars), but reality isn’t sugar-coated Disney dreams. Friends often have jealousy, children are often onery, Dads can be grumpy at Christmas (and while shopping) and so on.

I’m very cautious about what I let my son peek, and I don’t object to this attractive holiday DVD. (Because we live in a house WITH manners–and we stress kindness–my son is like a flash to point out sunless moments…and ones where people are behaving not-so-nicely.)

My family and I are big fans of slapstick comedy (Jerry Lewis, Dick Van Dyke, etc.), so Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas is a trusty treat in the humor department. The colors and details of the animation is absolutely lovely. For example, Donald goes slack the curtain at “Mousies” (Macy’s) to investigate their annual intelligent production. It’s done with a dark light, so Donald and the lighted animatronics have a very frigid glow that can be only found with sunless light effects.

I especially like this episode because of the clever sound effects: surrounding Donald in the mall are people and machinery that mimic the song “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”–change in the till, a blender, puppies barking, etc.

In the store, I gave my son a choice between Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas and Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas, and not surprisingly, he chose this one. (We objective bought it last night and he’s already watched it four times–the last time, while he sat on my lap and we cuddled.)

This DVD also has some extras:

*A leisurely the scenes perceive at how animators were inspired by skating sensation Michelle Kwan

*Deleted Scenes - How the structure for the movie unfolded, and why they picked obvious stories for the DVD

*Several Games and Activities

*DVD-ROM Holiday Printables

If you’re concerned that this DVD might be too controversial for kids, rent it first. If you like it, note it to your kids. You’ll soon know whether you want to take it or not. For me and my family, we feel this is an Gracious purchasing decision.

My only disappointment with this DVD was that it wasn’t longer. The five shorts on this DVD were ample, especially the one with Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck as dueling ice princesses and the myth of Pluto’s adventure’s at the North Pole hanging out with Santa’s reindeer. I understanding this last anecdote could’ve been a feature length story in itself.

While I agree with many that seeing the characters in full-fledged 3D animation, I don’t mediate this fresh rendering of these unbelievable characters could have been done any better. No, it’s not animation of the quality in the top budget motion represent releases, but it’s nonetheless extremely well done.

If you fancy Christmas and you fancy Mickey and the gang, you and your family will like this DVD.
