Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas

Synopsis: A Christmas themed, three-part anthology-style video. The first part, "Donald Duck: Stuck on Christmas", is essentially a retelling of Groundhog Day (1993), with Huey, Dewey, and Louie reliving Christmas ad infinitum. Next is "A Very Goofy Christmas", in which Goofy tries to overcome his son's skepticism about Santa Claus. Finally, "Mickey & Minnie's Gift Of The Magi" recreate the classic tale of ironic Christmas selflessness. The stories are linked together by narration by Kelsey Grammer.

Once a year,

there's a marvellous night,

When enchantment and wonder

spark and take flight.

Each home fills with joy

on this grand holiday,

With hearts growing warm

in a magical way.

The rooms are covered with wreaths.

The mantel has stockings beneath.

Lights twinkle

and bells brightly chime.

The moment's arrived, it's here,

Christmas time.

Three precious gifts

lie under this tree.

What secrets they hold,

Let's look and we'll see.

The first tells a story

for us all to hear

About laughter and family,

and those we hold dear.

We love Christmas so much,

we want it to stay.

But what if we wished

it was here every day?

Anchor's aweigh!

Full steam ahead!

Swab the deck, you...

All aboard! Next stop, Funnyville.

It's here.

- The one

- The only

best day of the year.

It's Christmas!

Oh, boy! Just what we always wanted.

- Hey, look at this.

- Cool!

Merry Christmas, boys.

You know we have to wait

for the family.

Sorry, Uncle Donald.

Ah, it's Christmas,

and I've got a special surprise

for you.

But you didn't even...

...read the... card.

We'll read it later.

- Merry Christmas, everybody.

- Indeed.

Where are my boys and my kisses?

I could just eat you up.

Oh, Donald?

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

Aunt Daisy, catch ya later.

Last one down the hill's

a rotten egg...

Not me!

Boys! Dinner.

The one thing better...

...than presents...

...is Christmas dinner.

Isn't this lovely? All of us gathered

for a wonderful meal.

It's my favourite part of Christmas.

- Turkey!

- Donald, would you like to carve?

Boys! Where are your manners?

- This turkey is so good.

- Your gravy never has lumps.

We love your cooking,

Aunt Daisy.

Donald,

they're just enjoying my dinner.

Ah, phooey. I don't want any.

Alright, who's for carolling?

We don't wanna sing,

Uncle Scrooge.

We wanna play with our toys.

- Bedtime, boys.

- Not yet.

Christmas can't be over already.

Good night, boys.

What a great day.

We should do it more often.

Yeah. Once a week should be enough.

It'll be another 365 days

until we get more Christmas.

Star light, star bright,

first star I see tonight,

I wish I may, I wish I might,

have the wish I wish tonight.

We wish it was Christmas

every day.

All aboard! Next stop, Funnyville.

Boy, those guys

sure like that choo-choo.

They're gonna

play with it again today?

Let's play with our new toys.

They're gone.

Hey, what is this?

Huh? Whoa!

Didn't we open these yesterday?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

There's only one way to find out.

We're gonna have to open

these presents.

Merry Christmas.

- Uncle Donald, we did it.

- It's Christmas again!

It's Christmas again, Uncle Donald.

Two days in a row.

You boys must have been dreaming.

We almost forgot

about our special surprise.

Where are my kisses?

I could just eat you up.

We should have seen that coming.

Last one down the hill's

a rotten egg.

Again!

Boys, dinner.

Isn't this lovely? All of us gathered

for a wonderful meal.

This is my favourite part

of Christmas.

Turkey!

Boys! Where are your manners?

Donald,

they're just enjoying my dinner.

Good night, boys.

- That was great.

- Double great.

Yeah.

All aboard! Next stop, Funnyville.

Yeah! Alright!

Merry Christmas, boys.

Look out, Uncle Donald.

- Merry Christmas, everybody.

- Merry Christmas, indeed.

Where are my boys and my kisses?

No, you don't.

I think this is my favourite part

of Christmas.

Merry Christmas, boys.

- Merry Christmas.

- I could eat you up...

...my favourite part of Christmas.

We wish you a merry Christmas

All aboard! Next stop, Funnyville.

You can stop Christmas now.

Please!

Where are my kisses?

...Funnyville.

...my favourite part...

Who's for carolling?

Looks like the end of the line.

Until tomorrow,

when it happens all over again.

You're right. Yesterday's today,

and today's tomorrow,

and it's gonna be the same thing

day in and day out...

Get a grip!

I'm sorry, fellas.

That's OK. We know how you feel.

If I see the same toys again,

I'll go out of my mind.

Yeah, and if I eat any more turkey,

I'm gonna need new clothes.

We got to do something

to liven things up.

Green leader to red leader.

Initiate pancake intercept sequence.

Roger.

Donald, stop playing

with the boys' presents.

Where are my boys and my kisses?

Right here, Aunt Gertie.

Isn't this lovely? All of us gathered

for a wonderful meal.

It's my favourite part of Christmas.

Oh! Turkey!

Not the piano.

Not my beloved carols.

Well, we still have the tree.

Let's run

before Uncle Donald gets mad.

We'll be outside

if you need us.

Donald, are you alright?

"To Huey, Dewey and Louie,

Christmas isn't about candy canes,

holly or lights all aglow,

it's about the hearts that we touch,

and the care that we show."

"Wishing you lots of love,

Donald and Daisy."

Some Christmas

this turned out to be.

Gee, I don't know about you guys,

but I don't ever

wanna do that again.

Me, too.

Me, three.

Tomorrow, let's have

the best Christmas ever.

We're putting

these sleds to good use.

Incoming!

Merry Christmas, fellas.

Look, we made you breakfast.

Isn't that nice?

You've already opened presents.

No way. We've got to

wait for the family to get here.

- Merry Christmas, everybody.

- Indeed.

Don't forget our kisses,

Aunt Gertie.

What are they up to?

You boys are so wonderful.

- That looks heavy.

- Let us help you.

Why, isn't that sweet?

Thank you, boys.

Ham!

Uncle Donald,

would you like to carve?

Something's up for sure.

Nothing better than gathering...

...for a wonderful meal.

It's our most favourite part.

My feelings exactly.

Carols, Uncle Scrooge?

Why, boys,

it's like you could read my mind.

What's the big idea?

What are you boys up to?

Donald Duck, you're spoiling

a perfect Christmas.

No, Uncle Donald is right.

We are up to something.

Merry Christmas.

See, it's your dream boat!

Thank you, boys.

How beautiful.

Some Christmas this has turned out

to be. I'm just so happy.

Boys?

Come gimme a push.

It's over!

Christmas is really over.

The day after Christmas.

I understand, boys.

You must want Christmas every day.

No!

Anchor's aweigh!

Full steam ahead.

Man overboard.

So Christmas was meant

to last just one day,

And maybe it's better that way.

/t's a time to be treasured,

it can't always be here,

But the feeling it gives us

can last the whole year.

Now this gift holds a story

both wondrous and rare,

About a father and a son

and the love that they share.

This Christmas they'll learn

before the night's through,

/f we care for each other,

our dreams can come true.

...Oh, hear the angels sing...

Come on, Maxie,

at least hum a few bars.

Dad, hurry up.

Deck the walls

with cows and caulis...

The mailman comes at noon, Dad!

Let's see, now.

- How about an electrical recliner?

- Yeah, Dad, whatever.

Don't want to turn

into a fancy pants.

Yeah, Dad, but Santa won't get

our letter if we don't leave...

...now!
