I was a little worried about buying a used DVD, but it was so much cheaper that I thought I would give it a shot. I am very happy that I did because it's just like new. Great disney cartoons.
Fantastic, 2009-12-24 Among the best DVDs in my Christmas collection, all three of the included featurettes are top-notch releases...and I'm not even a big Disney fan.
"The Small One," a tearjerker from 1978 directed by Don Bluth, is the story of a young boy and an old little donkey, and what ends up happening to them on the first Christmas (although that aspect of the story ends up being secondary). Small One must be sold because he's become of no practical use to the boy's family. The animation in this feature is spectacular and you'll find yourself wondering why other releases from the same era couldn't have held to this standard. Wonderful storytelling in that classic Disney style.
"Pluto's Christmas Tree," a great Christmastime short from 1952 featuring Chip and Dale and their battle with Pluto over (or in) Mickey's Christmas tree. Funny and warm and just plain great.
"Mickey's Christmas Carol," the usual story told with Disney characters, from 1983. It actually feels older than that, feels more classically Disney even though by that time Disney had long since abandoned the regular use of these characters in animated releases. Mickey gets top billing even though he plays the Cratchit character and it's Scrooge McDuck who plays, of course, Scrooge. Those familiar with Donald Duck's usual antics will be surprised as his appearance here as a very sweet and kindhearted nephew Fred. Fantastic, first-rate fare even though it might feel a little rushed at only 25 minutes.
