Mickey's Christmas Carol

"Mickey's Christmas Carol" is cute and just the right length for introducing "The Christmas Carol" to young children.  The other cartons included on the disk are fun too.  I would recommend this to anyone who likes Mickey Mouse or Disney animation.

Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol, forever old as well as new, arrived in a timely manner and in factory new condition. Thank you. I give you a five star rating.

We are in our 80s and have seen various versions of this story.  In our opinion this version with George C Scott is by far the best.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/A-Christmas-Carol/dp/B00000K3CJ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">A Christmas Carol</a>

This version of the Christmas Carol is a lifelong favorite for me with Mr. Magoo.  It is entertaining for kids and adults.  Not as scary for kids as some versions, such as George C Scott's,  The message of the tale comes across in this version, too.  Mr. Magoo had a show way back when, so it was natural to want to see his version of this tale.  Jim Backus did a great job as the voice of Mr. Magoo.  All in all, it's an enjoyable version of the Christmas Carol.  Add this to your library!

I must admit, after the Patrick Stewart "Christmas Carol" movie, this is my favorite. Michael Caine is terrific as Scrooge, and the songs are great. My kids love this movie, and it's not too scary for little kids. Highly recommended.

A good old fashion "Merry Christmas" story. Not a classic like Rudolph, Scrooge, or Miracle on 34th St. but a nice Christmas adventure with outstanding graphics and charming characters.

This is an amazing rendition of the classic "A Christmas Carol" story, with an incredible performance from Michael Caine.  Every time I watch it, as an adult, I get something new out of it.  And the old version, with the sad song included, was enough to make a grown man cry (a true Grinch-like story that happened at my house!).

I, too, am wistfully wishing that Disney would release a ***COMPLETE***, WIDESCREEN version of this incredible classic.  I bet they'd be shocked at how many copies they would sell!

I am a grown woman, not a kid, and this is my very FAVORITE Christmas movie!  Maybe the sad song is a bit TOO sad for some children, at certain times, in certain situations, but that's what the fast forward button is for!  And if Disney were really smart, they would just add an option so that one could either play the movie WITH that chapter or WITHOUT that chapter.  Simple solution!

I'm hoping that the people at Disney will read this review, and understand that the ADULTS are clamoring for this film -- it's not just for the kids!

The only GOOD cartoon on here is Mickey's Christmas Carol...Although Small One was a sweet cartoon, it was just too sad of a cartoon to add to this collection. The Santa cartoon was REALLY boring, and the Pluto cartoon was ok...I watch cartoons all the time, and this was one of my not so good purchases...I'd rather watch Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas...I am not please with this DVD at all...

I loved it especially the short narrated story.  The music was nice too and so was the price. I reccommend to everyone who likes Disney.

A family favorite when children were young. Now was able to enjoy with our adult children and our grandchildren together for our holiday tradition.
Since this is not a TV holiday special I was glad to go to Amazon to purchase.

Finally the muppets got it right letting Kermit and Miss Piggy hook up. Michael Caine is wonderful as Scrooge and with Rizzo the Rat and Gonzo narrating this Christmas Classic is brought to life with humor and a wonderful holiday message. A great cast of loveable characters all have their role. A yearly event in our house regardless of the age. Classic

It was a gift for my mom and she loved it. It has Disney characters, beautiful lights, Chrismas music and snow! What is there not to like?

I look forward to watching this around christmas time. The one thing that always irks me about this move is how rude the santa claus is. Other than that, this and A Flintstone Christmas Carol makes the holidays the holidays.

A Disney Christmas Gift is the Holiday equivallent to Disney's Halloween Treat. It starts out with the wonderfull music only story of the young couple and the young rabbit couple. It also boasts the family favorite where Chip& Dale end up in Mickey and Plutos Christmas tree and Twas the Night before Christmas in which the Old Disney Santa stops to play with the toys until he wakes up the 8+ little kiddies all out of one bed. It also has clips from Bambi, Peter Pan, Cinderella, and Sword in the Stone. My kids watch it spell bound, just as I did 20+ years ago. No it isn't some new fangled animated digi-fied anything. It is just good old fashioned family quality Disney. What can I say... My favorite!

While my favorite live action version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL is George C. Scott's 1984 version I would have to say that even that good film comes in second to this wonderful film.
Charles Dickens certainly wrote a story that would be retold in various forms 100's of times.  However, MISTER MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS CAROL really captures the viewers imagination both young and old alike.  Emphasis on the young viewer.  Children, much like myself 25 years ago, really respond to this films animation and great songs.  I still enjoy singing along with the various songs in this film as do my children.  They are very catchy.
All the important aspects of the book are here in this version.  Even though I like other film versions of this story this version holds a special place in my heart.  Also, for all those that think RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER was the first animated Christmas special, think again it was this film.  I firmly believe you will like this film.  Trust me, Mr. Magoo brings the house down!!!
Lastly, the DVD could have been better developed but for the price it is a very good deal.

I remember seeing this on the Mickey Mouse club as a kid and it was well worth the purchase. I will probably look to see if another title for the series is available and will purchase.
