What happens

Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas is a 1999 American direct-to-video animated Christmas anthology comedy fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Television Animation and Walt Disney Video Premiere and released by Walt Disney Home Video on November 9, 1999. The film includes three features: Stuck on Christmas (featuring Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Daisy Duck, and Scrooge McDuck), A Very Goofy Christmas (featuring Goofy, Max, and Pete) and Mickey and Minnie's Gift of the Magi (featuring Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Pete, Daisy Duck, and Mortimer Mouse). Other Disney characters also make cameos in the film. Stuck on Christmas is inspired by the 1892 short story "Christmas Every Day" by William Dean Howells and Mickey and Minnie's Gift of the Magi is based on the 1905 short story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry. Upon the release of Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas, the film received mixed reviews from critics. However, it was better-received by audiences, and the annual celebration of Christmas has helped make the film a holiday cult classic. A sequel, titled Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas, was released on November 9, 2004. Unlike its predecessor, the sequel is produced in CGI rather than traditional animation and is composed of five segments. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
