MICKEY’S ONCE UPON A CHRISTMAS (Video Release USA 1999)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas—three stories to inspire love of the holiday season via the magic of Disney—is a great, fun to watch for all ages, film. The movie has the quality of Disney stamped across its front and rear. Great work for Directors Alex Mann, Bradley Raymond, Jun Falkenstein, Bill Speers, Toby Shelton, and George Evelyn for directing a film that touches the heart and fills it with hope for good times.
