ok so here goes he first one of these, if all goes well I'll submit some more as I go.
Anywho first up is Once upon a christmas. This feature is broken up into 3 stories & ill give you the rundown on each.
the dvd is narrated by Kelsey Grammer, he does the introductions to each story & the ending of the show
First up is a story with Donald & his nephews, Daisy, Uncle Scrooge & Aunt Gertie in a story where the boys wish that every day was Christmas. Since this is a disney flick of course the boys get their wish. The story revolves around them experiencing Christmas every day in a Groundhogs day kinda fashion, until they realize this gets old real fast. The boys decide to make some fun & do a little pranking which backfires & ruins Christmas. Realizing they goofed, the boys decide to take the next day & make it the best they can. When the boys create the best christmas ever the wish is done & time continues on its normal pace. & Donald crashes a sled.
Next is Goofy & Max in a story about Santa Claus & if hes real or not. hey this sounds familiar! Am i the only one who has noticed Max is the only Disney character that ages? Huey, , Dewey & Louie are all the same age from ducktales, but Max keeps growing.
Anywho, on with the show.
Our story opens with Goofy & Max trying to catch the mailman so he can take their letter to Santa, & in true Goofy fashion he makes a bit of a mess, but still manages to catch the mailman. The goofs live next door to Pete who is never a nice gut in any of these caroons, so of course he tells Max there is no Santa. "I've never seen this Santa Claus fellow." Gee i wonder why? So now Max doubts that Santa is real. Where have I heard this before? Goof tries to answer all Max's questions about Santa as best his brain will allow, but Max is doubtful. Hey if your dad was this much of a goofus would you believe him? The Goof family brings dinner to a neighbor family who are having a hard time with money & while Max is talking to one of the children Santa arrives. Unfortunately its not Santa, but Goofy dressed up to make the children happy. Max believes his father has been lying, So to prove it they camp out on the roof to wait. When Santa doesnt show Goofy gets upset & now its Max's turn to dress like Santa. Goofy discovers Max's disguise & both father & son realize they were jusy trying to make each other happy. When the two make up the real Santa arrives & gives Max his present.
Story three involves Mickey, Pluto & Minnie in a story reminicent of gift of the magi
Mickey & Minnie are sweethearts who are very poor, (probably because Disney ignores them in favor of Pixar). Each of them is trying to get a present for the other before Christmas day, which is tomorrow. Mickey wants to get minnie a necklace for her watch, Minnie wanst to get a case for Mickeys Harmonica. Mickey works for Pete (him again?) selling Christmas trees. Pete fires Mickey when he fouls up a sale for a 10 foot tree by giving the customer a normal size tree.
Minnie works for Mortimers Department Store as a gift wrapper. The Christmas bonus she is counting on to buy Mickeys case turns out to be a fruitcake. D'OH!
Mickey gets sidelined from shopping, by some firemen who are doing a toydrive. They need someone to play music because the fire dpartment band got called to a fire.
Mickey manages to get to the store just as it closes, but manges to trade his harmonica for a chain for Minnies watch.
When the two lovebirds exchange presents, they realize he both traded away the items the other was buying for.
The show ends with all the characters singing a medley of Christmas Carols & fades out on the the Christmas Star.
overall a very enjoyable dvd, even if the stories are not original.
UPDATE:
Bonus features include:
She Daisy Music video (I enjoy the song, the girls not so much)
The Gift Of The Magi DVD storybook (its the same story as on the dvd, now read to you by a very boring narrator. You can also choose to read it yourself. I vote read it yourself)
Deck the Halls sing-a-long (its deck the halls with the words on screen, while a cartoon plays in the background. This cartoon is one of the older Mickey & plutos with Chip & Dale)
Jingle Bells Sing-A_long (same deal except with a different cartoon spliced in)
I believe there are no easter eggs on this dvd
