2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment for those looking for an original version, November 25, 2006

This review is from: Classic Cartoon Favorites, Vol. 9 - Classic Holiday Stories (The Small One/Pluto's Christmas Tree/Mickey's Christmas Carol) (DVD)

The overall DVD is good. But it was a disappointment to find that "The Small One" was edited and of course it is never marked anywhere on the DVD box that it was. For those looking for an original version of this great classic you will need to look elsewhere. Not only did the editors change the words of the song "Clink clink clank clank" (I assume to be more "politically correct")but they completely removed the entire "Small One For Sale" song and segment. I don't understand why people just can't leave things alone the way the movie was originally created.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3 Classic Disney holiday specials, but DVD quality leaves something to be desired., October 27, 2005

This review is from: Classic Cartoon Favorites, Vol. 9 - Classic Holiday Stories (The Small One/Pluto's Christmas Tree/Mickey's Christmas Carol) (DVD)

Two of these stories, Mickey's Christmas Carol, and Pluto's Christmas Tree were featured in the Mickey In Color tin Volume 2. The only new one was Small One, which I had in VHS form for many years, and always thought it was a Disney short classic, so I decided to purchase this set. Unforutnately, the colors on the DVD version are no where near as vivid as my old video copy. There is tons of artifacting through all 3 shorts, but at least the other 2 are very colorful and vibrant.

It is still a recommended collection, as the two Christmas shorts featured in the Mickey tin had to be accessed through several chapter menus to get them to play. For a child, it would be hard to pick them out of the tin set if they wanted to watch them, so now it is much easier for them to see all 3 of these Xmas classics in one easy step. It's too bad the colors are muted on Small One.
