Christmas memories from Walt Disney!

I remember renting this cartoon from the video store when I was a little kid, a special TV program from Walt Disney where it includes cartoon shorts and scenes from selected movies like Cinderella, Peter Pan and The Sword in the Stone - all arranged in a way that celebrates Christmas.

It is a great little program to experience the joy of Christmas and the magic of Disney at the same time - something perfect to bring everybody of all ages together. It's wonderful to see scenes from the classic animated movies, which brings back happy and nostalgic memories, and to see some of the most heartwarming cartoons including the Night Before Christmas short, where Santa Claus decorates a Christmas tree and bring toys to little sleeping orphan children.

It is a perfect video to enjoy during Christmastime and something to remind you of the simplest but joyous things in life.

Grade A

Trivia
The toys from the closing of the program were from the Walt Disney Archives.

Quotes
Bambi: Mother. Look. What's all that white stuff?

Alternate versions
In 1986, the special was edited in the syndicated "Wonderful World of Disney" program, which removed "On Christmas Morning" and most of the interstitials between cartoons. Instead, footage of "The Clock Watcher" was used as the interstitial footage, with the toys Donald is to wrap representing the cartoons themselves.
