This timeless Silly Symphony from Disney is one of the festive season all time classics. The story of Santa Clause delivering & setting up all the festive joy & decorations for a family of nine children, full of some beautiful animated sequences.

My copy is a Derann release & I have to say that it is absolutely gorgeous. Nice rich bright colours, crisp clear sound & a very sharp image. The master negative used in this transfer is obviously in tip top condition. As this is a festive cartoon you would not be projecting it on a regular basis, so print quality should last for many years to come.

Also the release that Disney did called "A Walt Disny Christmas" is really great and gives clips from "Toy Tinkers" "Santas Workshop" "The Night Before Christmas" and "Plutos Christmas Tree". A real treat of festive fun.
Dearnn's release of "Mickey's Christmas Carol" is also a superb release. It has the colour and sharpness that all the Dearnn Disney releases have. Not to be missed.

I have "A Walt Disney Christmas" as well, (nice print too!) but I would love to have that "MIckey's Christmas Carol". I occasionally see a print show up on ebay.

Yes its a superb print like the other title Derann do "The Small One" The two titles together give a really nice 1 hour festive film show. Add onto that "Mickeys Christmas Carol" and your festive show is sorted [Smile]

Add to that the fact that most of these cartoons, (if not all,) have been released in full versions. I know Toy Tinkers, Pluto's Christmas tree and Santa's Workshop are out there, How about the other one, Kevin?
