What's the Story?
At the start of MICKEY AND MINNIE WISH UPON A CHRISTMAS, the gang is finishing up a ski trip and making plans to return to Hot Dog Hills for a Christmas celebration. After taking part in all of their favorite holiday traditions, they board the train heading home. Donald Duck makes a decision that causes him to miss the train. This sets off a series of events that separates all of the characters as the clock ticks down to Christmas. One unlucky situation after another brings them further apart. The Disney favorites are helped by a mystifying recurring character who offers kindness and insight throughout their quest. As they struggle to make it home in time for Christmas, they are reminded what is really important during the holiday season.
Is It Any Good?
Mickey Mouse and his friends star in yet another adventurous holiday special. Mickey and Minnie Wish Upon A Christmas is an easy watch for the whole family. Original songs are lively and modern. Vibrant colors make the show upbeat and visually appealing. Like some other Mickey Mouse shows and specials, the plot is fast-paced and somewhat overloaded, which can be difficult for younger viewers to keep up with. Additionally, the attempt at negating the consumerism of the holidays falls a bit flat at the end when it seems to still be celebrated. Overall, kids can have a good time watching some of their favorite characters gear up for the holidays in a predictable format, and parents can appreciate the positive messages.
