What happens

"From All of Us to All of You" is an animated television Christmas special, produced by Walt Disney Productions and first presented on December 19, 1958, on ABC as part of the Walt Disney Presents anthology series. Hosted by Jiminy Cricket along with Mickey Mouse and Tinker Bell, the special combines newly produced animation with clips from vintage animated Disney shorts and feature films, presented to the viewer as "Christmas cards" from the various characters starring in each one. The episode was re-broadcast for the first time on Christmas Day, in 1960. Starting in 1963 and continuing through the 1970s, re-airings of the special would be in color instead of black-and-white and include preview footage of the studio's new or upcoming feature films. Beginning in 1983, it was expanded to 90 minutes and retitled A Disney Channel Christmas for airing on cable television's The Disney Channel. A re-tooled home video version of the special, retitled Jiminy Cricket's Christmas, appeared on VHS, Betamax, and Laserdisc in 1986. The special has yet to see a DVD release. The show has been shown infrequently in the United States in recent years. However, in Sweden, the program has been shown every Christmas Eve since 1960. Ratings show that around 40% of all Swedes watch it on Christmas Eve, the record (in 1997) being just over half the population. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
