They also did another remake of this video called "A Disney Christmas Gift", which features most of the same cartoons, and some new, it has no host, but the intro is the same (the song with the tree and Christmas decorations).

@oneangrysoldier "A Disney Christmas Gift" was not a remake, it was actually made a year before this. The intro from that was used in this. The two specials are actually pretty different in their format, even if they share a few of the same cartoons.

Disney was really good with these holiday specials back in the 80's. This one and the Disney Halloween are the best.

I see. The biggest thing I really noticed was the music and video from the non-animated section of the special. I never watched the full video of Disney's Christmas Gift, because it seemed to similar to A Disney Channel Christmas, and A Disney Channel Christmas is what I grew up watching. Good to know, though. I'll have to check out Disney's Christmas Gift now that I know that. :)

When I was little I watched Mickey's Christmas Carol. It was watered down a lot compared to the George C. Scott version which used to scare the daylights out of me. It was Jacob Marley that I was afraid of. In this I just love the idea of Goofy being Jacob Marley.

@darthkurland Actually, it always has.

Hmmm, can't find anything about Film Landa on Wikipedia. Can anyone tell me what Film Landa is, or maybe was?

[darthkurland]

You know that "When You Wish Upon a Star" is actually now the anthem of Disney.

I've seen that new version and yes it is a bit scary at some parts, but back then A Christmas Carol was not originally made for children. Then again it's natural for kids to be scared of something once in a while. I personally thought those dark scenes made the film believable into opening up someone's eyes to what a greedy miser's selfish choices can cause.

@gameskyjumper There is nothing wrong with scaring kids. Back when we were young, we've seen all types of scary and dark kids films.
