Mickey's Christmas Carol (30th Anniversary Special Edition)

If you can, skip this and buy the Disney Animation Collection Volume 7. It has the the film as it should be. Unbutchered.Disney destroyed this film in order to make it fill out widescreen TVs. They chopped the top and bottom off. It's a travesty they keep mutilating these films.I attached 2 examples. In one, the "counting house" sign is cut out. In the other, you can't see Mickey is jumping off the chair onto a pile of books. Removing things like this really takes away from the movie.The examples are endless. Through the whole thing characters are oddly shown from waist up, or the tops of their heads are cut off. Why would anyone prefer this? I'd avoid this at all costs, and I hope everyone stops buying these chopped up versions of Disney classics. Boycott any studio that does this. It's just as bad as what Lucas did to the original Star Wars movies!

We love this movie, great for the kids. I'm writing the review though to tell people that this DVD includes a bunch of classic Christmas shorts, like Pluto's Christmas Tree, that I remember watching as a kid. I went looking for some of these Disney christmas specials i watched as a kid on Amazon and found VCR tapes and other people online talking about converting their useless VHS cassettes to dvd. No need! They are all included with this DVD, and in BluRay is even better. This was an amazing purchase, especially for the price. All of your Disney Christmas classics in one spot for the kids.

Overpriced for what you get. Only 30 minutes. Misses a lot of substance from the original story.

I loved this movie as a little girl and was excited to find it to share with my 4 year old. The picture quality of the DVD didn't appear to be remastered and did have some pixelation black spots here and there, but not so much that it distracted from the movie. The movie follows Scrooge McDuck as he learns hard lessons about the pitfalls of greed, selfishness, and treating people badly with the help of the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. I love the story and so did my daughter - it's also a great teachable moment about being blessed and helping those less fortunate.The DVD also has bonus short cartoons that we had never seen before, but that we didn't like at all when we watched them. I felt they were a waste and just thrown on there to justify the $15 price tag for the 20-25 minute Christmas Carol movie. Overall, the price is worth it for the actual movie and we enjoy watching it now every Christmas, but the shorts were annoying and uninteresting.

This always aired at Christmas when I was a kid, and then it disappeared for years. So happy to have the special on disc so that I can watch it not only at Christmas but anytime during the year. As an adult, I appreciate the more obscure characters that show up in the episode.

The movie is Great!! But if you order this digitally be ware!! once the first part of the movie ends and you are viewing through a Amazon Prime app they have some new feature that pops up suggestions like an add after the first section is over. So all the other SHORTS skits which is like half the movie has a dang menu running through it.. I would suggest buy the DVD or Bluray not digital for this

This is my husbands favorite Christmas movie of all time. He insists we watch it every year, even when its not Christmas. It was one of those movies he grew up with as a child and it left a big impact on him because he can think back on really good memories with friends and family. This really is the perfect movie for kids, and teaches a valuable lesson about greed. Its perfect to start your own traditions with!

I know a lot of people here have complained about the digital restoration, but if you're like me and you only have your old VHS copy of the '80s it will look great to you. The picture is really clear but there are a few spots where they brightened it up so much that it looks a little odd depending on how good your TV screen is. Like I said, compared to my ancient old tape where the picture was so dark and dirty it looks nice and clean, but if you already have one of the previous DVD releases then you can skip this one.However, what makes this blu ray for me are the shorts included, whose restoration look very good. It's very hard to find these shorts outside of trying to track down the out of print Disney Treasures or Classic Cartoon Favorites DVDs. There is also a Disney Christmas Carol sing-along included in the features.The shorts are:Yodelberg (all-new Minnie and Mickey)The Hockey Champ (Donald and his nephews)Pluto's Christmas Tree (Pluto and Chip & Dale)The Art of Skiing (Goofy)Corn Chips (Donald and Chip & Dale)So if you're buying this for the first time on disc format then it's worth your money, but if you already have it on DVD then you can skip it if you don't care about the shorts. The digital restoration isn't as good as the Diamond Edition series, as you would expect, but it's clean and bright, and your kids will love being introduced to this classic!

Same as other reviews, was wanting the dvd version to replace my VHS as I have always loved this animation, the case is all in Polish but the disc plays in English when you select that to start play. There are a couple of extra little christmas cartoons aswell on the menu. Very pleased with purchase.

So glad I read the reviews on this and went ahead and ordered. As other users explain, despite the cover being in Polish, the DVD plays with English audio unless you select a different language option. I used to watch this when I was younger and had struggled to find on DVD. Now my little one can enjoy it too. Only had it a few days and it’s already a firm favourite. Also includes a few other bonus cartoons.

Aside of the Polish written sleeve, the dvd is English. Been trying to buy this for some time as love this as a childhood favourite that is hardly ever shown on tv anymore

Region 1. Not playable on region 2 player Disney's Xmas carolI have tried. To find this for years and happy to get it....i own a region. Free dvd player so chuffed with this purchaseThe cartoon lasts only just over 20 minutesBur there is other cartoons on the didc

Was relieved that the audio is in English even though the cover is in Polish. Love this little film, very happy!
