giannisvrach The CGI could really be better (it was not completely unsightly but it was in dire need of of improvement)but the stories were good. I was so happy to see that Disney selected stories that originated from comics (I've read these stories in magazine "Μεγάλο Μίκυ" (eng: "Big Mickey") which used to be published in Greece, I just don't if the stories were published before the movie or afterwards). Okay, they were not the most fascinating stories and they had more time of musical than one can endure (seriously, nor children nor any type of comic/animation show fan likes musicals, action is better), but it was good to watch in the end.
mwcrunner This is a pretty good sequel to the first Mickey Christmas movie but one thing that gets me down about this is that Max is no longer with Roxanne but with some other girl and it makes me upset. That makes me want to write a letter to Disney and tell them to make a sequel to a Goofy Movie and one that will be better then an Extremely Goofy Movie and I saw that that movie got horrible reviews. Oh well at least we get to see Max and Roxanne together in House of Mouse. This movie has pretty good stories in it just like the first one did anyway. Still wish that Max was with Roxanne in this though. Oh well at least I have my imagination and in my imagination Max and Roxanne get married and live together. I also drew that on Deviantart.com.
openapartment I normally dislike CG animation. Its graphical perfection makes it too artificial for me. "Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas," however, is perfectly suited for CG animation. There is a colorful vibrancy and liveliness to it that makes it much more festive. Consider the sad alternative: second rate hand-drawn animation rivaling that of Saturday morning cartoons. That being said, the animation here is top-notch. Disney is no-doubt attempting to flex its CGI muscle as it transitions away from hand-drawn animation (also, see the theme park commercials, Mickey's Philharmagic, etc.). Also, it should be noted that comparing the quality of this animation with that of a big budget Pixar movie is extremely ignorant. CG animation has its own costs and it would be poor budgeting to spend that much on a video feature. Regardless, it does not suffer from the lack of that detailed a polish.The stories themselves are entertaining, and there is a surprising amount of wit and imaginative storytelling written into the script. My only complaint is that it would be nice for Disney to create a full feature Mickey Mouse film. Short stories work fine, but it ends and starts again too soon to create any audience involvement.
Alex M. Lehmann Jingle... jingle... I've waited quite a time for this one to happen and it was a logical evolution step (getting Mickey into 3D). And it worked. Disney Australia did a great job on this one and I'm really looking forward to more animation in 3D from them.The short stories are full of beautiful animated Christmas spirit. They have a nice humor and they tell you what really is important about Christmas (well, except they don't talk about Jesus Christ). I think this DVD will be part of our every-year-watch-it collection for Christmas times. So I really recommend buying this DVD. I think the production value is very high and that Disney has to make two more DVDs like this to earn money with this.Hohoho everyone, have fun.
