(edit: I liked House of Mouse series. Just that particular special bugged me >_< ) Howdy! It was nice to get a chance to chat about Mickey again. Was planning "Worst Cartoon Theme songs" next and was wondering if you had any recommendations? Thanks for your input :)
exactly, and Nash wasn't on strike when the bulk of the dialogue was recorded (only a few lines were replaced for the remake and the Jimmy Durante impression removed)
I used to love Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas when I was younger, but after rewatching it last Christmas I never realized how mean-spirited, annoying, and poorly animated the movie really is. The original Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas is fine, but did we really need a sequel???
Twice Upon a Christmas was very unsettling, especially the animation shift. Goofy and Max are the only ones who didn’t act out of character. At least the CG in the preschool shows is actually enjoyable.
@@paper9523 agree, it was an experiment with low budget CG, it succeded, if it failed, the Tinker Bell franchise/MCCH/Planes franchise/Toy Story Toons/Cars Toons would be 2D
Emus aren't as chill as strider says. Usually you only see them at zoos or farms unless you live in the bush and if they're not familiar with people they can be dangerous. They're more likely to run away than fight you but they've got long sharp claws and can easily disembowel a red kangaroo if they're cornered. It's also pretty frightening to have them eat out of your hand the first time, just the idea of a bird being bigger than you is pretty freaky as a kid. They're about as smart as chickens, so you don't want make too many sudden movements around them.
Honestly, the biggest problem the House of Mouse Christmas Special suffers is, when you stop and think about it... being snowed in should've been absolutely no problem at all. 1, you've got both Genie and Jafar, both of whom have magic that could easily clear away or melt the snow. 2, Hades, a guy with hair literally made of fire, is there too. And those are just the most obvious characters who come to mind that could easily solve the problem. Being snowed in shouldn't have been an issue at all for anyone at the House of Mouse during that special
Logical is'nt it. No one cleared the snow out. Also, don't forget about Bogs from Fantasia, he is from Hell and he should created fire more than ever. And what about that candle from Beauty and The Beast?
Well if we're being overly logical it doesn't make sense for many of those characters to be celebrating christmas some of them predate Christianity some of them are deities of other religion's
Al Dusty, National Treasure Yeah but The Great Emu War was just an overpopulation issue and the only reason the humans lost is that the Emus kept evading their machine guns, am I not mistaken? It’s been a while since I’ve read on it. I do remember that the only casualty on the human side was their dignity.
Mickey Mouse And Disney has been in our childhood for over nearly 100 years they have good cartoons and some bad ones that are just wow As well I hope you’ll do the best Disney Sitcoms because there some that are really good like Lizzie And Zack and Cody as well another Disney Cartoon list because there are some hidden gems like The emperor’s new school Recess House Of Mouse and as well American Dragon anyways have a nice summer Josh.^-^
Did you know: Pluto's Party was originally going to be named "Pluto Getting Bullied By Mickey & Mickey's Nephews Until He Wants To Go Full On Genocide On Mickey's Family"?
I too also found Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas a little messed up. The characters are obviously outta place. First, Daisy sabotages Minnie's performance on ice when really she should've bee supporting Minnie. Second, Donald just wants peace and quiet but suffers, and third, Mickey gets angry at Pluto and throws him out for an accident he didn't mean to do even when he was sorry for it? What the MARC? The only thing I do find pretty awesome is the story Christmas Maximus where Max brings home his girlfriend to meet Goofy. I really love Max's girlfriend Mona in there. Mona is impressed by pictures of Max doing extreme sports like that biking and stuff but also really adored by Max's baby pictures and kid pictures. I even love how she joins Goofy n the goofiness. Despite the popcorn machine going haywire and making the house blow out popcorn with Max Mona and Goofy flying out. I even love the scene where Mona and Goofy both kiss Max and both really love him.
I don't understand why cartoons like Pluto's Party are out there. I'm like you where I just feel so bad for the character. It's not funny, it's frustrating. I get that, as Nostalgia Critic says, all humor is based on suffering, but there's a point where you overdo it. Also, don't forget the blue ringed octopi that can be found on the shores of Australia! And that's actually a Portuguese Man-o-War picture you showed, not a jellyfish. :)
Yeah there is a limit but all humour someone suffers usually if it's bad like death or something usually you're laughing at the comidian more then the subject because they are degrading themselves more then a dead person or a rape victim or something on those lines
That's a big part of the issue right there. Pluto's torment is portrayed too realistically. When the last piece of cake was stolen away from Pluto, I didn't laugh; I was furious because of how cruel the nephews were and how genuinely distraught Pluto looked. I thought he was going to break down crying by the end of everything!
Actually, "Orphan's Benefit" is from 1934, while the version from 1941 that you looked at is a remastered version. This is also why Donald is so poorly voiced in this short, because the original version of the short was his second ever appearance, and the first of which to have his signature character traits.
Even when I was younger I thought Mickey's attitude towards Pluto in Mickey's twice upon a Christmas was out of character, it actually scared me a little.
To be fair Mickey did repeatedly tell Pluto to not be impatient and just wait til Mickey said it was okay to put the star on the tree. Pluto kept ignoring Mickey cause he was too impatient, and it caused all of Mickey's decorations to get all fucked up. So it makes sense why Mickey would be mad at him.
I actually enjoyed the House of Mouse cartoons, as they allowed me to watch older shorts I would not have had access to otherwise. Plus, it was kind of fun seeing all the characters together. I will say, I never really watched the Christmas special for the show, but I personally adored the Halloween one! It is a guilty please to this day! I can still hear the villains singing as they took over the club~
When I was a tad smaller, I had a great deal of trouble telling the difference between Jafar and Captain Hook, for whatever reason, and House of Villains particularly allowed me to realise that they were, in fact, two separate characters, so there's that, I guess~@@djsqualityrooter3128
I actually like both _Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse_ (which I only realized back in December 2017 when I went to rewatch it for Christmas had such a long title) and _Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas,_ though _Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas_ is better.
I love Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at The House of Mouse and Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas. That animation in those films are spectacular. As much as I love Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas better, I do have to admit, the story Christmas Maximus from Mickey's Twuce Upon a Christmas is really good. I love that story.
The version of "Orphans' Benefit" seen here may be from 1941, but it's actually a color remake updating the looks of all the characters while using the same audio from the black-and-white 1934 original. At the time of the original, Donald's voice was still in the process of being perfected, as it was his first year, which is why it seems so off in the remake.
Ok, I have to say, I did like Orphan's Benefit, but the fact that you put it on this list is absolutely hilarious! 😂😂 Edit: Thx for the heart and likes! This is the most likes I've ever gotten! 😄
Friendship From what I heard, this movie was originally going to include Roxanne (Max's crush from "A Goofy Movie"), and the new girl shares her voice actor. But since the CGI was still kind of new to Disney at the time, or at least fully CGI films, they couldn't use characters with long hair because of how plastic it looked. It's kind of like the early production process of the show "Reboot." Anyway, they decided to just make a brand new character to act as Max's girlfriend. Granted I don't why they couldn't just have Roxanne get a haircut and leave it at that, but whatever.
Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse, is a spin-off movie from the show House of Mouse. The premise of the show is Mickey and friends run a night club for all the different Disney characters. The show plays similarly to the Muppet Show. A show is put on for the guests while something is going on backstage. And yes, the cartoons are all re-runs of old cartoons, but for a kid who has never seen them before, they are practically new. Plus, it was so cool seeing all of the different Disney characters interacting with each other. Sometimes a guest character would get involved in the backstage antics, or would be the focus of said antics. I will say though that the movie doesn’t use the guest characters as much as the show did. Regardless, I still love this movie On a related note, have you seen Mickey’s House of Villains? I was another DVD movie that, in my opinion, is the better of the two House of Mouse movies
Oh yeah, velociraptors were small, weren't they? I remember that. People get the wrong idea about them a lot. lol! What I'm thinking of is definitely more along the lines of a deinonychus.
Orphan’s Benefit was Clarence Nash’s 2nd performance as Donald ever. This is also the first ever Donald anger fit. After this, Nash got a better handle of it and developed the voice into what we know today. We wouldn’t have the Donald voice we know and love without some trial and error coming first.
Well, Orphans Benefit technically was a total remake to a 1934 Black and White Mickey Mouse cartoon (Donald Duck's 2nd appearance after 'The Wise Little Hen'), with almost no changes being made to it at all. It was unnecessary to remake it, imo. They even recycled the dialogue from the original. I can excuse Disney for that though, because you have to remember that they were on a animators strike at the time.
SonicShadow98 They kept all the same 1934 audio though, except for Donald’s last line because by that time, “Oh phooey!” had become his established catchphrase. But other than that, all the voice acting is the same exact recording from 1934.
I agree with Kellie C. The original 1934 black and white version of ‘ORPHAN’S BENEFIT’ was the first teaming of Mickey, Donald and Goofy together. It also marked the debut appearance of CLARA CLUCK... an operatic hen who appeared in a few 1930’s Disney shorts and then disappeared. Within a few years, Donald took over from Mickey as Disney’s main character. The best Mickey cartoons in my opinion are the ones from the late 1930’s where Donald and Goofy are featured as well. ‘LONESOME GHOSTS’, ‘CLOCK CLEANERS’ and ‘BOAT BUILDERS’ are good examples.
Yeah, the movements in the film are the same but the difference was the colors. Disney also remake some films in Silly Symphony series like the *_Ugly Duckling_* .
I've watched this episode far too early and far too often to ever hate it. However, the orphans were utter brats and Donald gets abused by them the whole episode. The stage play was funny because Goofy kept screwing up.
PhantomStrider I watched it as a kid. But it totally ruined the reputation of the original Mickey Mouse. So I think the world of Clubhouse takes place in an alternate universe. Sadly, the show did ended in 2016 (I'm glad) but the Roadster one is just something else.
Cmon Strider, I grew up on this show! You've gotta do it! Even if some fans might not be familiar with it, maybe you can shed some light on the show to your fans that way!
About that "Orphans' Benefit" cartoon, it's actually a colored & reanimated version of one that was from way back in the 20's; with recorded dialog from the old version. That's why the voice-acting was so off.
BirdCraft SSB agreed, I like once upon a time better but I also grew up with twice and the only bad one out of those is the pluto one and arguably the goofy one.
House of Mouse may be lacking in original content to some extent, but it is definitely better than Mickey Clubhouse. True that the first time I had seen Mickey Clubhouse was actually not until I was an adult while the other show I had first seen from my childhood, but I think that Mickey Clubhouse was primarily aimed for little kids instead of older people while House of Mouse in contrast could be more entertaining for both grown ups and children alike. True that Mickey Clubhouse is meant to be educational, but there are definitely other Mickey Mouse shows far more entertaining to watch for older people.
@@chrisbarone515 Allow me to explain. CGI, as PhantomStrider said it best, “looks like sun-melted plastic”. Actually, PhantomStrider has all the same problems we have with Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas. Keep liking it if you will, but our best recommendation is if we just stick with its sole predecessor and hope that even after the early 2000s, keep wishing for Disney to make Mickey’s Thrice Upon a Christmas (a massive improvement, nearly as great as the original or maybe even surpassing it if that’s possible)!
This is a great list, Mr. PhantomStrider. Funnily enough tho, Number 5 has one of my favorite interpretations of The Nutcracker Story in it. That's the honestly the only decent part, imo. Even though that Christmas episode was dull, I just love The Nutcracker Story and I really enjoy some of the odd and/or creative interpretations that I've seen and that are out there. I kinda wish they just scrapped the rest of that episode and just focused on the Nutcracker part, or made it into a 25-30 minute minimovie or Christmas storytime. I think it would have panned out better. (Edit: excuse the grammar. My bad. Have a lovely day ^^~
Daisy Duck has become so unlikable and nasty lately. Especially to Donald. Come to think of it, she's been that since Mickey Mouse Works. The Legend of the Caballeros continued this for some reason, too. I thought she was better portrayed before all of that, especially Quack Pack.
Finally, someone who says Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas is bad! I like the first one better. The reason I hate the sequel is because I always thought Mickey never looked good in 3D. It just doesn’t seem right. Now I’ve got other reasons to dislike it. Thanks, PhantomStrider!
Man I used to like twice upon the Christmas alot when I was little (even had a dvd and vhs, I only have the vhs of it still but not the dvd because I lost it.) but now after looking back at it, it’s pretty cruel and Mickey and the other characters where jerks, I regret liking this alot, I really kind of don’t like this anymore but I guess this will just be part of my “bad childhood” or whatever..
@@SeaAnemoneGal96except donald duck,goofy,max's girlfriend,max and pluto because they are the only the likeable characters in mickey mouse twice upon christmas
Well, I personally liked Orphan's Benefit and Mickey Down Under, although I did watch those shorts repeatedly when I was a kid, maybe that is why I didn't mind it so much. This is coming from the same person who thinks Cars is pretty damn good. I personally found it quite funny tbh, and the Orphan's Benefit short was done in the 1930s, which might explain the rough Donald voice. The version you showed was the remake rather than the original. Just wanted to mention that in case you don't know.
I loved The House Of Mouse, I remember my brother and I would always get excited whenever it came on. Looking back, it wasn't as bad. It was fun to see a huge crossover of different Disney characters come together to dine, along with Mickey and the gang hosting the event. Those were some good times.
OMG! This was my favorite movie when I was kid :D I remember I always been excited with the villains singing about dominate the House of Mouse and when appears that episode of Mickey and Minnie like Hansel and Gretel :D
The humor was good too. Special appearances from Hades, Jafar, Iago, Timon and Pumbaa, were all funny. So many call backs to classic Disney also, including a bizarre reference to the Black Cauldron.
BAH! no way. There is one redeeming feature in "Snowed in at the House of Mouse": it's the only way to watch the whole Mickey's Christmas Carol unedited cause ABC Family or "Freeform" as its called now chop small parts out to fit in a half hour plus commercial ls.
I remember watching Mickey's Christmas Carol as a kid with my mom once, and us clearly hearing the giant saying "with gravy" while talking about food and having a difficult time pronouncing "pistachio". Yet every time we saw it on TV after that, he always said "yogurt" instead of "gravy".
Apparently the dancing cow sequence from Orphan’s Benefit had audiences erupting in laughter according to some Disney executives. I guess the people of that time liked that sort of thing
House of Mouse is not ment to be to teach kids, it is just Disney cast being creative, with giving the main Disney crew (Mickey and friends) a dinner theater in Toontown, with every other Disney character giving the theater a visit / cameo (even the Tron cycles & Herbie made cameo's) and with a tv series like that, it must get a Christmas special
I actually had my own idea called "Mickey's Big Break", which is a Roger Rabbit style animated romp where Mickey feels that the Walt Disney company has forgotten what made it successful in the first place as they treat animation and archival history as a joke, and feels that because he's 2D animated, he isn't thought of as highly as he used to be. So he decides to leave the Disney studio to find himself again, and joining him for the ride is Woody from "Toy Story", who tries to convince Mickey that animation isn't about how you look artistically, but rather it matters about your story telling capabilities.
I really felt sorry for Pluto in Pluto's Party. I can't understand why Mickey invited his nephews to the party. They were greedy obnoxious little brats! Mickey at least should've let Pluto have the first slice of cake. After all Pluto is the dog of honor.
I know. Things in cartoons like that aren't funny, it's frustrating. And not to mention, isn't that ANIMAL abuse? Dogs don't deserve to be treated that way!
DO NOT drink milk when you compare an angry Donald, because you end up laughing... And we all know what happened when you laugh with milk in your mouth! xD! Edit: ...Koalas are aggressive? I'm dead... Another edit: Daisy: Donald, say something! Donald: **Burps** I'M DEAD.
Important question about the House of Mouse Christmas episode: uh, I don't think everyone there would be celebrating Christmas. There's Greek gods and miscellaneous. They were before Christ. Mulan characters are Chinese, and I also believe the movie takes place before Christ. Aladin and company are Indian. They worship Hindu gods (probably). The Lion King bunch are animals, and while they're intelligent animals, they still behave like animals, for the most part. Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood, and Cinderella are the only movies I could see actually celebrating Christmas, besides The Nightmare Before Christmas, and the Mickey crew, obvs. I don't think Robin Hood is even there.
One correction: Aladdin and crew aren't Indian. They're Arabic. Therefore, they would probably be Muslim rather than Hindu so therefore, they would probably worship Allah. But yeah, everything else is spot on.
In Aladdin, the Sultan literally says "praise Allah" so yeah he's not Christian. As for the villians, I don't see how a holiday about goodwill and charity would be their thing at all. I like the idea of Robin Hood (and Friar Tuck) being there and maybe some of the Peter Pan characters too.
When I first saw the commercial, I wondered why Jafar was there. Even though there are non-Christians who celebrate Christmas in some way (looking at it as a season of spending time with loved ones and doing charitable deeds), it's still weird.
Every time Strider uploads a video I feel relieved because this guy brings a calming nature to reviewing, even when he gets upset its calming somehow. Keep up the good work man.
Growing up with Mickey's Magical Christmas I have to say that it really takes me back to watching House of Mouse on weekends and seeing how many different ways they could make the Disney peanut gallery interact. Yeah the overall plot with Donald being in a bad mood isn't all that great, but I do remember really enjoying this as a compilation. The new and old cartoons they ended up showing feel so nostalgic to me now and it even introduced me to one of the greatest versions of A Christmas Carol. That has to be worth something.
I was also introduced to A Christmas Carol through Mickey’s Christmas Carol and was introduced to the short through “Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed In At the House of Mouse” as well.
I personally think there are worse Mickey cartoons and shorts out there. I think one of the worst ones is an old black and white short with a huge downer of an ending. I can’t remember the name of it, but there’s one where Mickey takes Minnie to a dance, but it ends with Minnie rejecting Mickey, and she dances with Pete instead. (Pete sexually harassed her in nearly every cartoon, it feels wrong to see her choose Pete over Mickey.) We are then forced to watch Mickey cry, The End. Even for old cartoon standards, that was just awful, it wasn’t funny or entertaining at all. Minnie was made to be Mickey’s girlfriend, making a short that ends with Minnie dumping Mickey and dating his arch enemy was just unpleasant to watch. At least it was a very old short, and Mickey and Minnie had more pleasant to watch cartoons after that.
Honestly, Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas is a guilty pleasure of mine... I also thought the animation was actually ok... And yes, some of the characters are unlikable in it, but I can still find a way to enjoy it (mainly because I used to watch it a lot in my childhood and I have a thing for mean spirited comedy like that, but I do prefer the Once Upon a Christmas over this) EDIT 08/08/18: At least the animation on TUAC doesn’t look like Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys (I’m not kidding when I say the animation on that looks like badly rendered PS1 game cutscenes)
What’s interesting is that I used to watch Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas and I loved it, but then a few years back I realized how bad the animation truly looked and cringe worthy it actually was. But anyway great list and thanks for making all of the great content! 👍
To be fair it's one of his first appearances ever (I believe it's second appearance) and the first time we see the Donald we know and love today. Of course it would take time to improve the voice.
Donald: How about this?! I never thought I’d say this, but YOU ARE A FUCKING BITCH!!!!!! toppng.com/uploads/preview/sonic-the-hedgehog-middle-finger-by-mintenndo-d6js088-sonic-doing-the-middle-finger-11563242696dtudvdumxq.png: Now you’re speaking my fucking language!
7:56- Well, to be fair, there was one episode that more-or-less encouraged breaking and entering, but yeah, it's clear this show is just meant to educate kids. There's nothing evil about that.
Which episode? I have to watch this show with my sister all the time and haven't really had much reason to complain. It's not for me (obviously) but it's not like my little pony where the voices make my head hurt after three episodes.
It's the episode where Donald trades his pet chicken for magic beans, then when finding out they really are magic and he actually did get a good deal out of it, he and the others still go to the giant's house and break in so they can steal the chicken back. Granted, in the end, the giant is very understanding and gives the chicken back, but still.
Apocolypse Hope we talking G3 or G4? If G3 I can definitely sympathize. Fiery Joker had to review a few G3 stuff and he knew right away that today's version of the show (Friendship is Magic is G4 btw) is miles upon miles better than G3 could hope to be. Seriously, we're getting more adventure plots and better relatable situations with G4 than with the God awful G3
Apocolypse Hope Me too. The voices makes me wanted to bang my head on the wall and the floor when they sing thus the screams almost made me deaf that even astronauts can hear it. By the way, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is my childhood but not my cup of tea. Why? Because it ruined the original counterparts of the Mickey Mouse cartoons. I don believe the Clubhouse takes place on an alternate universe.
Macanbdloo11 that's like, the hole fucking point of the character, a duck with short temper that doesn't get what he wants, that's the comedy of his character! it's slapstic comedy about his misery! just like Squidward only he is also a delusional hack who believes he's the greatest artist who ever lived, making comedy out of someone's misery is not enherently bad, it's made to make people laugh while feeling for the character. why are you all so thin skinned?
it's a cartoon, it needs to be exagerated, if it was scientifically measured it wouldn't be fun. plus there's no "too much" in Squidward's bad luck, it's very standard, the problem might ensue when it is slapstick for the sake of it, it's not "cruel" just uneffective, cause if the character doesn't have some kind of grumpy or selfish characterization, or any at all establieshed, it's just boring. take Daffy Duck for example: he wants fame and money and he has a very huge ego, and it's because of that ego that he gets himself into trouble, that's why it's so funny when he fails, you don't hate him, but it's not like he's a goodie two shoes either, same can be said about other characters such as Squidward, he's a grumpy delusional artist who acts like a smart ass, so it's fun to watch him fail at accomplishing what he wants, Donald Duck is not and innocent baby either, he has serious anger issues wich is why he has such a bad luck. in the end, what i'm trying to say is, characters don't need to be all good and happy, same for the things that happend to them, because that would obviously be boring.
Gillberto Astanio But lately, some of the luck Donald's been having has come off as unjustified and mean-spirited. Like the first episode of The Legend of the three Caballeros involving Donald losing his home, his job, and Daisy dumping him all on his birthday. And Donald didn't do anything to deserve that. And your right. We do want to see these characters go through this stuff because of their mean-spirited actions because it's cathartic and funny. But only when they do these actions.
Macandbloo i honestly think you have a very thin skin if that bothers you so much, The Legend of the three cabaleros is fine, IT'S A CARTOON, it's meant to be EXAGGERATED, it's not a tragic real-life story, in cartoons (comedic ones) you want to make things absurd, you made it sound way more tragic than it probably is. also these kinds of characters don't have to be mean, sometimes shit just happends to them and shiy gets worse because of how badly they handle the situations they're in, thus it's funny.
I’ve never understood episodes in which the theme is “This character is suffering, so laugh!” I seriously wonder what’s wrong with those writers. Before anyone says, “Well, don’t watch British sitcoms, then!” those are different. They aren’t sheer torture porn.
it is meant to invoke schadenrfreude. the problem is in some cases the character did nothing to deserve it, so the audience just feels sorry. from what i see, donald usually suffers when he does something mean spirited or hasty, so he only has himself to blame. not here
I love this list. I definitely agree about "twice upon a Christmas", i never thought it was that great. I'm a sucker for goofy and max though. Their relationship is just so genuine. Now I've got to watch the goofy movie again. Thanks Strider!!
I have a lot of respect for your videos, seeing as you put forth an effort to provide quality lists. And its wonderful that you're active with your community, its really refreshing and sweet :)
I normally don’t trust reboots with my life but the Mickey Mouse shorts are my one exception. They make me laugh so hard! My favorite is when Minnie tries turning Mickey into a gentleman.
SpongebobPlushieStuff ! G3 MLP was terrible but they really got things going with G4. Hope with the redesigns of 3 of the Mane 6 in G5 will still make it good. Hope Pinkie can be as funny as she is now too. Her returning to her G1 Pegasus routes (from what I remember researching) should be funny to watch when she and Rainbow are in scenes together
To be fair I think that House of Mouse, generally speaking, had some really good points for the time it came out in, the shorts were usually really good and took advantage of the classic Disney cast and the idea of the club set in the cartoon town was very charming
Blue Ocean Corporations one thing the French are good at are driving them Tanks backwards 🤣🤣🤣 a French tank will beat a sprint racer by driving backwards
I remember watching Twice Upon A Christmas a while ago and even I knew something was off about it. I am still a fan of the mouse who debuted to the public on November 18th, 1928 in Steamboat Willie and many cartoons he appeared in for many of us to see and experience :)
Great Joy Bird I feel this was only made to do Mickey in CGI. It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen, but just because everything else in CGI doesn’t mean your product needs to be!
I remember Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas. Damn dude, I wish I could erase that garbage from my memory. Well, technically it was until I saw this video, lol. But damn man, that was THE worst Mickey Mouse cartoon I've ever seen. It actually pissed me off as a kid when I first watched it, and thankfully I haven't seen or heard of it again ever since.
I went to Alaska to see my Mom and stepdad. He says he hates the DuckTales reboot because it's not the same and they should just rerun the original. He's crazy.
Even if there’s so much people hating on him for irony and these cartoons, I must admit, overall he’s a sweet and good character. And I love him for that, and him literally being one of the first animated cartoon characters too.
Top Crossover in cartoons that must happen. Seriously we need a Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny crossover yet Warner Bros and Disney today have a burning rivalry right now still one day.
PhantomStrider True. Still I wish Nick, CN, and Disney join together to make the biggest crossover to end all crossover yet realistic it's not going to happen. Hopefully one day but until then we just have to dream about it.
I actually kinda liked Donald's part of Orphan's Benefit. If I remember right it was only the second time Clarance had voiced Donald, so the voice wasn't as "evolved" yet. (He sounded similar in The Wise Little Hen.) I skip the other parts though.
The brand to make Western Animation the way it was for Disney to use as a format for their methods was actually Fleischer Productions. The styles changed with Disney making a more child-friendly style and Fleischer making grittier and more adult animations.
But the Fleischers can occasionally create kid-friendly material like Gulliver's Travel (not the Jack Black one) and a kid-friendly version of Betty Boop in a better way.
Quick note on the subject of "Orphan's Benefit": The short was originally created in black and white in 1934 and was the second ever appearance of Donald Duck after the Silly Symphony short "The Wise Little Hen". In roughly 1939, a project was in the works titled "Mickey's Revival Party". The characters in the film were said to have gone to a theater and interacted with the cartoons as they were being shown. "Orphan's Benefit" was one of the shorts planned to be featured, and the color remake shown here (eventually released on its own in 1941) was the only trace of the scrapped project we got.
The House of Mouse was just a fun series meant to bring together every Disney animated movie character together and have them interact with each other. It was basically what Disney is doing now with Ralph Breaks the Internet, and I enjoyed watching those cartoons as a kid especially since my favorite Disney characters were all in one room.
(edit: I liked House of Mouse series. Just that particular special bugged me >_< ) Howdy! It was nice to get a chance to chat about Mickey again. Was planning "Worst Cartoon Theme songs" next and was wondering if you had any recommendations? Thanks for your input :)
PhantomStrider how are you?
I love your vids your the best

Well, orphan’s benefit was Donald’s second appearance, so perhaps his voice wasn’t crystallized yet.
exactly, and Nash wasn't on strike when the bulk of the dialogue was recorded (only a few lines were replaced for the remake and the Jimmy Durante impression removed)
Actually, the one he covered was a remake from the 1940’s, the original is from the 1930’s
@@SailorMaxie The original I like better
they actually remade that one
Yeah, I'd give Orphans Benefit a pass since it's a remake. There's a RUclips video of a side by side comparison that's pretty neat.
I used to love Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas when I was younger, but after rewatching it last Christmas I never realized how mean-spirited, annoying, and poorly animated the movie really is. The original Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas is fine, but did we really need a sequel???
Even Chicken Little has mean-spirited cruelest and low quality animation which looks ugly.
I loved Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas better.
Butter Pie IRYO?
Yeah I feel the same way too.
same I thought it was amazing but looking at the clips..idk it's pretty out of character and the animation is not as good looking as I remember lol
Twice Upon a Christmas was very unsettling, especially the animation shift. Goofy and Max are the only ones who didn’t act out of character. At least the CG in the preschool shows is actually enjoyable.
I heard it was good for the time
That's why Christmas Maximus is by far, my absolute favorite story in the film. Though the Make me Look Good song is kinda nerve tingling at times.
Master Ellis Max’s story was easily the best and my favorite story out of the bunch in that unsettling animation
Btw the songs are pretty forgettable
@@paper9523 agree, it was an experiment with low budget CG, it succeded, if it failed, the Tinker Bell franchise/MCCH/Planes franchise/Toy Story Toons/Cars Toons would be 2D
"The emus aren't that bad"
Your homeland lost a war against them.
Crazy Dave Lol I just watched this and thought the exact same thing
The emus didn’t attack or anything, they just eat the Australian’s Crops
emu: shows up holding an automatic rifle in military gear
australians:
Didn't they resort to running them over in jeeps?
Emus aren't as chill as strider says. Usually you only see them at zoos or farms unless you live in the bush and if they're not familiar with people they can be dangerous. They're more likely to run away than fight you but they've got long sharp claws and can easily disembowel a red kangaroo if they're cornered.
It's also pretty frightening to have them eat out of your hand the first time, just the idea of a bird being bigger than you is pretty freaky as a kid. They're about as smart as chickens, so you don't want make too many sudden movements around them.
Honestly, the biggest problem the House of Mouse Christmas Special suffers is, when you stop and think about it... being snowed in should've been absolutely no problem at all. 1, you've got both Genie and Jafar, both of whom have magic that could easily clear away or melt the snow. 2, Hades, a guy with hair literally made of fire, is there too.
And those are just the most obvious characters who come to mind that could easily solve the problem.
Being snowed in shouldn't have been an issue at all for anyone at the House of Mouse during that special
Logical is'nt it. No one cleared the snow out. Also, don't forget about Bogs from Fantasia, he is from Hell and he should created fire more than ever. And what about that candle from Beauty and The Beast?
Well if we're being overly logical it doesn't make sense for many of those characters to be celebrating christmas some of them predate Christianity some of them are deities of other religion's
Woops! I forgot that Bogs is the Devil and since Christmas is the day where Jesus was born, I think the answer is quite simple.
Chernabog is a dark god, not Satan.
Chernabog is the Devil himself. Hades is a dark god.
“In fact, everything else in Australia is incredibly aggressive, but the emus are fine.”
A certain event called the Emu wars beg to differ.
Al Dusty, National Treasure Yeah but The Great Emu War was just an overpopulation issue and the only reason the humans lost is that the Emus kept evading their machine guns, am I not mistaken? It’s been a while since I’ve read on it. I do remember that the only casualty on the human side was their dignity.
KentuckyWallChicken that’s the joke

Mickey Mouse And Disney has been in our childhood for over nearly 100 years they have good cartoons and some bad ones that are just wow As well I hope you’ll do the best Disney Sitcoms because there some that are really good like Lizzie And Zack and Cody as well another Disney Cartoon list because there are some hidden gems like The emperor’s new school Recess House Of Mouse and as well American Dragon anyways have a nice summer Josh.^-^

Why did they change it? Everyone would watch that!
@@ShadowtheRUclipsr523 NO, REALLY? I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED
@@retrohero64butonhisphone80 shut up, just shut up.
@Jaxson Trevino fuck you too!
A brilliant name for it.
I too also found Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas a little messed up. The characters are obviously outta place. First, Daisy sabotages Minnie's performance on ice when really she should've bee supporting Minnie. Second, Donald just wants peace and quiet but suffers, and third, Mickey gets angry at Pluto and throws him out for an accident he didn't mean to do even when he was sorry for it? What the MARC? The only thing I do find pretty awesome is the story Christmas Maximus where Max brings home his girlfriend to meet Goofy. I really love Max's girlfriend Mona in there. Mona is impressed by pictures of Max doing extreme sports like that biking and stuff but also really adored by Max's baby pictures and kid pictures. I even love how she joins Goofy n the goofiness. Despite the popcorn machine going haywire and making the house blow out popcorn with Max Mona and Goofy flying out. I even love the scene where Mona and Goofy both kiss Max and both really love him.
I use to love it but n😡t anymore because it’s cruel
Ironic, isn’t it? Disney is always afraid of Mickey being in a bad show or movie, yet they were okay with everything in that movie??
Let’s face it: It’s nearly impossible for Disney to make Goofy unlikeable. He’s just too loveable to act out of character.
My headcanon, since she's voiced by Roxanne's va, Roxanne changed her name and hairstyle at some point after high school
@@autumbreeze1129 Actually, it was because it was deemed too difficult to animate her hair in CG, so she was replaced with a shorter haired girl.
I can actually imagine you in the Christmas special with the step mother's face.
The Hooded Wolf notice the step mother and the Queen have the same look?
Lol, that's actually even better

I don't understand why cartoons like Pluto's Party are out there. I'm like you where I just feel so bad for the character. It's not funny, it's frustrating. I get that, as Nostalgia Critic says, all humor is based on suffering, but there's a point where you overdo it.
Also, don't forget the blue ringed octopi that can be found on the shores of Australia! And that's actually a Portuguese Man-o-War picture you showed, not a jellyfish. :)
chesiregirl there has to be a suitable amount of exaggeration to make the suffering part of the joke funny.
Make a suffering as a joke. Imagine you make fun of poverty.
Yeah there is a limit but all humour someone suffers usually if it's bad like death or something usually you're laughing at the comidian more then the subject because they are degrading themselves more then a dead person or a rape victim or something on those lines
That's actually a Cringe Comedy or Black Comedy.
That's a big part of the issue right there. Pluto's torment is portrayed too realistically. When the last piece of cake was stolen away from Pluto, I didn't laugh; I was furious because of how cruel the nephews were and how genuinely distraught Pluto looked. I thought he was going to break down crying by the end of everything!
Actually, "Orphan's Benefit" is from 1934, while the version from 1941 that you looked at is a remastered version. This is also why Donald is so poorly voiced in this short, because the original version of the short was his second ever appearance, and the first of which to have his signature character traits.
Even when I was younger I thought Mickey's attitude towards Pluto in Mickey's twice upon a Christmas was out of character, it actually scared me a little.
I hated it so much I cried Mickey's my special character and it hurts to see him so awful
For some reason, It sort of almost reminds me of how Andy Panda was depicted in “The Painter and the Pointer” (1944).
To be fair Mickey did repeatedly tell Pluto to not be impatient and just wait til Mickey said it was okay to put the star on the tree. Pluto kept ignoring Mickey cause he was too impatient, and it caused all of Mickey's decorations to get all fucked up. So it makes sense why Mickey would be mad at him.
I actually enjoyed the House of Mouse cartoons, as they allowed me to watch older shorts I would not have had access to otherwise. Plus, it was kind of fun seeing all the characters together. I will say, I never really watched the Christmas special for the show, but I personally adored the Halloween one! It is a guilty please to this day! I can still hear the villains singing as they took over the club~
Mickey’s House Of Villains is incredible.
"It's our house now..."
@@Handle1298 the only thing I did not like about house of villains was Jafar because this is the 4th time he came back to life
When I was a tad smaller, I had a great deal of trouble telling the difference between Jafar and Captain Hook, for whatever reason, and House of Villains particularly allowed me to realise that they were, in fact, two separate characters, so there's that, I guess~@@djsqualityrooter3128
The Christmas one definitely ain't as good as the Halloween one, but they're both still good.
I actually like both _Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse_ (which I only realized back in December 2017 when I went to rewatch it for Christmas had such a long title) and _Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas,_ though _Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas_ is better.
Me too
I watch all of those cartoons at Christmas time just for the nostalgia
I love Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at The House of Mouse and Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas. That animation in those films are spectacular. As much as I love Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas better, I do have to admit, the story Christmas Maximus from Mickey's Twuce Upon a Christmas is really good. I love that story.
Jay Gilbert I liked Mickey’s twice upon a Christmas stories expect the part were mickey made Pluto ran away
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas is a classic holiday film in my house
And how does Mickey Mouse still stay young after 90 years to this day?

The version of "Orphans' Benefit" seen here may be from 1941, but it's actually a color remake updating the looks of all the characters while using the same audio from the black-and-white 1934 original. At the time of the original, Donald's voice was still in the process of being perfected, as it was his first year, which is why it seems so off in the remake.
Ok, I have to say, I did like Orphan's Benefit, but the fact that you put it on this list is absolutely hilarious! 😂😂
Edit: Thx for the heart and likes! This is the most likes I've ever gotten! 😄
There were actually two versions of that one. The first one was in black and white. The black and white one looks the best.

Twice Upon Christmas would have been SO MUCH better if it had it's main focus on Goofy, Max & Max's girlfriend.
I thought that girl from The Goofy Movie is Max's girlfriend.
Friendship Goofy Movie is classic! 😎
Yeah, that's classical back when Disney is good. From now, where is Max anyways?
Friendship From what I heard, this movie was originally going to include Roxanne (Max's crush from "A Goofy Movie"), and the new girl shares her voice actor. But since the CGI was still kind of new to Disney at the time, or at least fully CGI films, they couldn't use characters with long hair because of how plastic it looked. It's kind of like the early production process of the show "Reboot." Anyway, they decided to just make a brand new character to act as Max's girlfriend. Granted I don't why they couldn't just have Roxanne get a haircut and leave it at that, but whatever.
Friendship I miss Max
Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse, is a spin-off movie from the show House of Mouse. The premise of the show is Mickey and friends run a night club for all the different Disney characters. The show plays similarly to the Muppet Show. A show is put on for the guests while something is going on backstage. And yes, the cartoons are all re-runs of old cartoons, but for a kid who has never seen them before, they are practically new. Plus, it was so cool seeing all of the different Disney characters interacting with each other. Sometimes a guest character would get involved in the backstage antics, or would be the focus of said antics. I will say though that the movie doesn’t use the guest characters as much as the show did. Regardless, I still love this movie
On a related note, have you seen Mickey’s House of Villains? I was another DVD movie that, in my opinion, is the better of the two House of Mouse movies
Jinx Productions yep,Mickey’s House of Villians was Better
I've never heard of House of Villains. Or the series for that matter.
The Lego Communist I highly recommend checking them out
I actually have house of villains on DVD!!! It's my favorite old cartoon that I own, next to the classics
The emu is not the bad bird of Australia. That honor goes to the Cassowary.

Oh yeah, velociraptors were small, weren't they? I remember that. People get the wrong idea about them a lot. lol! What I'm thinking of is definitely more along the lines of a deinonychus.

Orphan’s Benefit was Clarence Nash’s 2nd performance as Donald ever. This is also the first ever Donald anger fit. After this, Nash got a better handle of it and developed the voice into what we know today. We wouldn’t have the Donald voice we know and love without some trial and error coming first.
True that. I wasn't aware this was his first performance. Thanks for the heads up :)
Well, Orphans Benefit technically was a total remake to a 1934 Black and White Mickey Mouse cartoon (Donald Duck's 2nd appearance after 'The Wise Little Hen'), with almost no changes being made to it at all. It was unnecessary to remake it, imo. They even recycled the dialogue from the original. I can excuse Disney for that though, because you have to remember that they were on a animators strike at the time.
SonicShadow98 They kept all the same 1934 audio though, except for Donald’s last line because by that time, “Oh phooey!” had become his established catchphrase. But other than that, all the voice acting is the same exact recording from 1934.
Kellie C Agreed. They recycled the audio from the original, except for Donald's last line in the end of the 1941 version.
I agree with Kellie C. The original 1934 black and white version of ‘ORPHAN’S BENEFIT’ was the first teaming of Mickey, Donald and Goofy together. It also marked the debut appearance of CLARA CLUCK... an operatic hen who appeared in a few 1930’s Disney shorts and then disappeared. Within a few years, Donald took over from Mickey as Disney’s main character. The best Mickey cartoons in my opinion are the ones from the late 1930’s where Donald and Goofy are featured as well. ‘LONESOME GHOSTS’, ‘CLOCK CLEANERS’ and ‘BOAT BUILDERS’ are good examples.
Pluto's Party is basically Pluto torture porn.

The interesting thing about Orphans' Benefit is that it's a shot-for-shot remake of an earlier same titled short from 1934.
Yeah, the movements in the film are the same but the difference was the colors. Disney also remake some films in Silly Symphony series like the *_Ugly Duckling_* .
I've watched this episode far too early and far too often to ever hate it. However, the orphans were utter brats and Donald gets abused by them the whole episode. The stage play was funny because Goofy kept screwing up.

PhantomStrider I don't mind Mickey mouse clubhouse since I watched it when I was really little along with leap frog
PhantomStrider
I watched it as a kid. But it totally ruined the reputation of the original Mickey Mouse. So I think the world of Clubhouse takes place in an alternate universe.
Sadly, the show did ended in 2016 (I'm glad) but the Roadster one is just something else.
Cmon Strider, I grew up on this show! You've gotta do it! Even if some fans might not be familiar with it, maybe you can shed some light on the show to your fans that way!
Poor Pluto
About that "Orphans' Benefit" cartoon, it's actually a colored & reanimated version of one that was from way back in the 20's; with recorded dialog from the old version.
That's why the voice-acting was so off.
1934, actually.
Also this is donald's second ever cartoon, so it's clear they were just experimenting
I grew up with Mickey's Twice upon a Christmas and rewatching it now. I still really like it
I only don't like the Pluto cartoon
BirdCraft SSB agreed, I like once upon a time better but I also grew up with twice and the only bad one out of those is the pluto one and arguably the goofy one.

House of Mouse may be lacking in original content to some extent, but it is definitely better than Mickey Clubhouse. True that the first time I had seen Mickey Clubhouse was actually not until I was an adult while the other show I had first seen from my childhood, but I think that Mickey Clubhouse was primarily aimed for little kids instead of older people while House of Mouse in contrast could be more entertaining for both grown ups and children alike. True that Mickey Clubhouse is meant to be educational, but there are definitely other Mickey Mouse shows far more entertaining to watch for older people.

@@chrisbarone515 Allow me to explain.
CGI, as PhantomStrider said it best, “looks like sun-melted plastic”.
Actually, PhantomStrider has all the same problems we have with Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas.
Keep liking it if you will, but our best recommendation is if we just stick with its sole predecessor and hope that even after the early 2000s, keep wishing for Disney to make Mickey’s Thrice Upon a Christmas (a massive improvement, nearly as great as the original or maybe even surpassing it if that’s possible)!
Marvel Fans: infinity war is the most ambitious crossover of all time.
Me: 1:02
Maxwe77 Well they are both made by disney
This is a great list, Mr. PhantomStrider. Funnily enough tho, Number 5 has one of my favorite interpretations of The Nutcracker Story in it. That's the honestly the only decent part, imo. Even though that Christmas episode was dull, I just love The Nutcracker Story and I really enjoy some of the odd and/or creative interpretations that I've seen and that are out there. I kinda wish they just scrapped the rest of that episode and just focused on the Nutcracker part, or made it into a 25-30 minute minimovie or Christmas storytime. I think it would have panned out better.

Daisy Duck has become so unlikable and nasty lately. Especially to Donald. Come to think of it, she's been that since Mickey Mouse Works. The Legend of the Caballeros continued this for some reason, too. I thought she was better portrayed before all of that, especially Quack Pack.
Mickey’s Magical Christmas is a staple of my childhood, and as a result I watch it every christmas. I’ve always been a House of Mouse fan tbh
Finally, someone who says Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas is bad! I like the first one better. The reason I hate the sequel is because I always thought Mickey never looked good in 3D. It just doesn’t seem right. Now I’ve got other reasons to dislike it. Thanks, PhantomStrider!
Doug Walker(aka: the Nostalgia Critic) hates it too.
@EJ Puppets That one I liked because that Mickey looked like the classic era Mickey. I hated Mickey in Twice Upon because of the way he looked
Man I used to like twice upon the Christmas alot when I was little (even had a dvd and vhs, I only have the vhs of it still but not the dvd because I lost it.) but now after looking back at it, it’s pretty cruel and Mickey and the other characters where jerks, I regret liking this alot, I really kind of don’t like this anymore but I guess this will just be part of my “bad childhood” or whatever..
@@SeaAnemoneGal96except donald duck,goofy,max's girlfriend,max and pluto because they are the only the likeable characters in mickey mouse twice upon christmas
Well, I personally liked Orphan's Benefit and Mickey Down Under, although I did watch those shorts repeatedly when I was a kid, maybe that is why I didn't mind it so much. This is coming from the same person who thinks Cars is pretty damn good. I personally found it quite funny tbh, and the Orphan's Benefit short was done in the 1930s, which might explain the rough Donald voice. The version you showed was the remake rather than the original. Just wanted to mention that in case you don't know.
I loved The House Of Mouse, I remember my brother and I would always get excited whenever it came on. Looking back, it wasn't as bad. It was fun to see a huge crossover of different Disney characters come together to dine, along with Mickey and the gang hosting the event. Those were some good times.
I like the halloween episode where the enemys tried to take over the house of mouse due to stronger powers and such
OMG! This was my favorite movie when I was kid :D I remember I always been excited with the villains singing about dominate the House of Mouse and when appears that episode of Mickey and Minnie like Hansel and Gretel :D
The humor was good too. Special appearances from Hades, Jafar, Iago, Timon and Pumbaa, were all funny. So many call backs to classic Disney also, including a bizarre reference to the Black Cauldron.
BAH! no way. There is one redeeming feature in "Snowed in at the House of Mouse": it's the only way to watch the whole Mickey's Christmas Carol unedited cause ABC Family or "Freeform" as its called now chop small parts out to fit in a half hour plus commercial ls.
Even Mickey's Christmas Carol has the creepy Jacob Marley.
I remember watching Mickey's Christmas Carol as a kid with my mom once, and us clearly hearing the giant saying "with gravy" while talking about food and having a difficult time pronouncing "pistachio". Yet every time we saw it on TV after that, he always said "yogurt" instead of "gravy".
Apparently the dancing cow sequence from Orphan’s Benefit had audiences erupting in laughter according to some Disney executives. I guess the people of that time liked that sort of thing
Calling Mickey the mascot god of the literal century would be an understatement.
So glad you mentioned Kingdom Hearts. Love the little anniversary video they did for him! Lol.
House of Mouse is not ment to be to teach kids, it is just Disney cast being creative, with giving the main Disney crew (Mickey and friends) a dinner theater in Toontown, with every other Disney character giving the theater a visit / cameo (even the Tron cycles & Herbie made cameo's) and with a tv series like that, it must get a Christmas special
They should just make a theatrical Mickey Mouse movie where he's the central character because if Goofy has his own film, why shouldn't he?!
Kobe Marion I know it boggles my mind how there hasn’t been a Mickey Mouse theatrical movie
I actually had my own idea called "Mickey's Big Break", which is a Roger Rabbit style animated romp where Mickey feels that the Walt Disney company has forgotten what made it successful in the first place as they treat animation and archival history as a joke, and feels that because he's 2D animated, he isn't thought of as highly as he used to be. So he decides to leave the Disney studio to find himself again, and joining him for the ride is Woody from "Toy Story", who tries to convince Mickey that animation isn't about how you look artistically, but rather it matters about your story telling capabilities.
I have no idea how he doesn't have a movie!
I would love it to be based on the shorts on Disney Chanel

Important question about the House of Mouse Christmas episode: uh, I don't think everyone there would be celebrating Christmas. There's Greek gods and miscellaneous. They were before Christ. Mulan characters are Chinese, and I also believe the movie takes place before Christ. Aladin and company are Indian. They worship Hindu gods (probably). The Lion King bunch are animals, and while they're intelligent animals, they still behave like animals, for the most part.
Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood, and Cinderella are the only movies I could see actually celebrating Christmas, besides The Nightmare Before Christmas, and the Mickey crew, obvs. I don't think Robin Hood is even there.
One correction: Aladdin and crew aren't Indian. They're Arabic. Therefore, they would probably be Muslim rather than Hindu so therefore, they would probably worship Allah. But yeah, everything else is spot on.
In Aladdin, the Sultan literally says "praise Allah" so yeah he's not Christian. As for the villians, I don't see how a holiday about goodwill and charity would be their thing at all. I like the idea of Robin Hood (and Friar Tuck) being there and maybe some of the Peter Pan characters too.
Inhaled Corn *facts.*
When I first saw the commercial, I wondered why Jafar was there. Even though there are non-Christians who celebrate Christmas in some way (looking at it as a season of spending time with loved ones and doing charitable deeds), it's still weird.
Inhaled Corn The Greek Gods could be celebrating the Winter Solstice, that’s an important pagan holiday
Every time Strider uploads a video I feel relieved because this guy brings a calming nature to reviewing, even when he gets upset its calming somehow. Keep up the good work man.

@@YEETUSDAFEETUS peace is SOMETIMES a option
Growing up with Mickey's Magical Christmas I have to say that it really takes me back to watching House of Mouse on weekends and seeing how many different ways they could make the Disney peanut gallery interact. Yeah the overall plot with Donald being in a bad mood isn't all that great, but I do remember really enjoying this as a compilation. The new and old cartoons they ended up showing feel so nostalgic to me now and it even introduced me to one of the greatest versions of A Christmas Carol. That has to be worth something.
I was also introduced to A Christmas Carol through Mickey’s Christmas Carol and was introduced to the short through “Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed In At the House of Mouse” as well.
I personally think there are worse Mickey cartoons and shorts out there. I think one of the worst ones is an old black and white short with a huge downer of an ending.
I can’t remember the name of it, but there’s one where Mickey takes Minnie to a dance, but it ends with Minnie rejecting Mickey, and she dances with Pete instead. (Pete sexually harassed her in nearly every cartoon, it feels wrong to see her choose Pete over Mickey.) We are then forced to watch Mickey cry, The End. Even for old cartoon standards, that was just awful, it wasn’t funny or entertaining at all.
Minnie was made to be Mickey’s girlfriend, making a short that ends with Minnie dumping Mickey and dating his arch enemy was just unpleasant to watch. At least it was a very old short, and Mickey and Minnie had more pleasant to watch cartoons after that.
Thank you

And yes, some of the characters are unlikable in it, but I can still find a way to enjoy it (mainly because I used to watch it a lot in my childhood and I have a thing for mean spirited comedy like that, but I do prefer the Once Upon a Christmas over this)
EDIT 08/08/18: At least the animation on TUAC doesn’t look like Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys (I’m not kidding when I say the animation on that looks like badly rendered PS1 game cutscenes)
m-attique I also watched it as a child.
I also watched it when I was little. It may not be all that good, but it gives me that good nostalgic feeling. :)
What’s interesting is that I used to watch Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas and I loved it, but then a few years back I realized how bad the animation truly looked and cringe worthy it actually was. But anyway great list and thanks for making all of the great content! 👍
Jeez Donalds voice in “Orphans Benefits”...someone fetch that duck some lemsip.
Or vodka
To be fair it's one of his first appearances ever (I believe it's second appearance) and the first time we see the Donald we know and love today. Of course it would take time to improve the voice.
It reuses the soundtrack from the orginal made in 1934.
Donald and Squidward is my spirt animal XD
Daisy: "Donald, say something!"
Donald: "Like, anything...?" 😏
Donald: How about this?!
I never thought I’d say this, but YOU ARE A FUCKING BITCH!!!!!!

7:56- Well, to be fair, there was one episode that more-or-less encouraged breaking and entering, but yeah, it's clear this show is just meant to educate kids. There's nothing evil about that.
Which episode? I have to watch this show with my sister all the time and haven't really had much reason to complain. It's not for me (obviously) but it's not like my little pony where the voices make my head hurt after three episodes.
It's the episode where Donald trades his pet chicken for magic beans, then when finding out they really are magic and he actually did get a good deal out of it, he and the others still go to the giant's house and break in so they can steal the chicken back. Granted, in the end, the giant is very understanding and gives the chicken back, but still.
Apocolypse Hope we talking G3 or G4? If G3 I can definitely sympathize. Fiery Joker had to review a few G3 stuff and he knew right away that today's version of the show (Friendship is Magic is G4 btw) is miles upon miles better than G3 could hope to be. Seriously, we're getting more adventure plots and better relatable situations with G4 than with the God awful G3
Apocolypse Hope
Me too. The voices makes me wanted to bang my head on the wall and the floor when they sing thus the screams almost made me deaf that even astronauts can hear it. By the way, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is my childhood but not my cup of tea. Why? Because it ruined the original counterparts of the Mickey Mouse cartoons. I don believe the Clubhouse takes place on an alternate universe.
I guess the short film where Mickey gets shot in the head at war didn't count because it wasn't technically Disney?
Monique Star
Oh this one? ruclips.net/video/5uaaO57dTbg/видео.html
Jesse Thompson yep. That's the one
Monique Star
It's kinda creepy without sound
Jesse Thompson I'll never understand why he smiled before he died
Monique Star
Yeah it was odd
I remember at Disney they would play Micky mouse shorts and the outback one play maybe 3 times a day.

Plot Twist, the cake had chocolate in it, and Mickey’s Nephews were just trying to save him.
So Mickey basically just killed Pluto.
Lol
Well I don't see anything on the cakes inner layor that would suggest chocolate.
The real name for Pluto’s BirthDay:
*A pal for Gary 2.0*
Donald Duck suffering despite him not doing anything wrong is just terrible. It's the Squidward Tentacles treatment all over again.
Macanbdloo11 that's like, the hole fucking point of the character, a duck with short temper that doesn't get what he wants, that's the comedy of his character! it's slapstic comedy about his misery! just like Squidward only he is also a delusional hack who believes he's the greatest artist who ever lived, making comedy out of someone's misery is not enherently bad, it's made to make people laugh while feeling for the character.
why are you all so thin skinned?
There exists a concept called "taking something too far".
it's a cartoon, it needs to be exagerated, if it was scientifically measured it wouldn't be fun.
plus there's no "too much" in Squidward's bad luck, it's very standard, the problem might ensue when it is slapstick for the sake of it, it's not "cruel" just uneffective, cause if the character doesn't have some kind of grumpy or selfish characterization, or any at all establieshed, it's just boring.
take Daffy Duck for example: he wants fame and money and he has a very huge ego, and it's because of that ego that he gets himself into trouble, that's why it's so funny when he fails, you don't hate him, but it's not like he's a goodie two shoes either, same can be said about other characters such as Squidward, he's a grumpy delusional artist who acts like a smart ass, so it's fun to watch him fail at accomplishing what he wants, Donald Duck is not and innocent baby either, he has serious anger issues wich is why he has such a bad luck.
in the end, what i'm trying to say is, characters don't need to be all good and happy, same for the things that happend to them, because that would obviously be boring.
Gillberto Astanio But lately, some of the luck Donald's been having has come off as unjustified and mean-spirited. Like the first episode of The Legend of the three Caballeros involving Donald losing his home, his job, and Daisy dumping him all on his birthday. And Donald didn't do anything to deserve that.
And your right. We do want to see these characters go through this stuff because of their mean-spirited actions because it's cathartic and funny. But only when they do these actions.
Macandbloo i honestly think you have a very thin skin if that bothers you so much, The Legend of the three cabaleros is fine, IT'S A CARTOON, it's meant to be EXAGGERATED, it's not a tragic real-life story, in cartoons (comedic ones) you want to make things absurd, you made it sound way more tragic than it probably is.
also these kinds of characters don't have to be mean, sometimes shit just happends to them and shiy gets worse because of how badly they handle the situations they're in, thus it's funny.
I’ve never understood episodes in which the theme is “This character is suffering, so laugh!” I seriously wonder what’s wrong with those writers. Before anyone says, “Well, don’t watch British sitcoms, then!” those are different. They aren’t sheer torture porn.
I especially hate that the something bad happens to characters so everyone is an ***hole and laughs at them cliche.
Lifeform Lover Exactly. Characters are suddenly hateful and sadistic for no reason.
it is meant to invoke schadenrfreude. the problem is in some cases the character did nothing to deserve it, so the audience just feels sorry. from what i see, donald usually suffers when he does something mean spirited or hasty, so he only has himself to blame. not here
I love this list. I definitely agree about "twice upon a Christmas", i never thought it was that great. I'm a sucker for goofy and max though. Their relationship is just so genuine. Now I've got to watch the goofy movie again. Thanks Strider!!
Mickey Mouse Twice Upon A Christmas... I loved this cartoon when I was -7.
BUT TIMES HAVE CHANGED.
I have a lot of respect for your videos, seeing as you put forth an effort to provide quality lists. And its wonderful that you're active with your community, its really refreshing and sweet :)
Who else knew Mickey’s Twice Upon A Christmas was gonna be number 1?
This seriously is a great list
I normally don’t trust reboots with my life but the Mickey Mouse shorts are my one exception. They make me laugh so hard! My favorite is when Minnie tries turning Mickey into a gentleman.
Howdy KWC!
Daniel Ippolito Howdy Daniel!
You said most reboots are bad, about 25% of it are great, mlp, danger mouse, etc
SpongebobPlushieStuff ! G3 MLP was terrible but they really got things going with G4. Hope with the redesigns of 3 of the Mane 6 in G5 will still make it good. Hope Pinkie can be as funny as she is now too. Her returning to her G1 Pegasus routes (from what I remember researching) should be funny to watch when she and Rainbow are in scenes together
MrSonicHedgehog yeah, and now pinkie can go to cloudsdille
I kinda like Orphan's benefit and Pluto's party when I was a kid
i always hated pluto's party when i was a kid because it made me feel so bad for pluto.
I loved the Goofy, Max, and Mona (Max's girlfriend) segment in Twice Upon a Christmas.
R.I.P
Max Goof
1992-2004
I love the Goofy, Max and Mona (Max's girlfriend) segment too.
We do get to see Max in the newest season of DuckTales.
To be fair I think that House of Mouse, generally speaking, had some really good points for the time it came out in, the shorts were usually really good and took advantage of the classic Disney cast and the idea of the club set in the cartoon town was very charming
The emus might be peaceful, but they are still better at winning wars than the french...
Blue Ocean Corporations one thing the French are good at are driving them Tanks backwards 🤣🤣🤣 a French tank will beat a sprint racer by driving backwards
Except you have'nt heard about the "Emu's Curse" from Pingas and Verb.
Reed Uchiha Of course they are good at going backwards, the tanks are designed for retreating.
What about Tours, Bouvines and Austerlitz, ect ?
The animation of number 1 reminds me of the new swan princess movies. Hand drawn animation looked to have more soul in it.
I remember watching Twice Upon A Christmas a while ago and even I knew something was off about it. I am still a fan of the mouse who debuted to the public on November 18th, 1928 in Steamboat Willie and many cartoons he appeared in for many of us to see and experience :)
Great Joy Bird I feel this was only made to do Mickey in CGI. It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen, but just because everything else in CGI doesn’t mean your product needs to be!
I remember Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas. Damn dude, I wish I could erase that garbage from my memory. Well, technically it was until I saw this video, lol. But damn man, that was THE worst Mickey Mouse cartoon I've ever seen. It actually pissed me off as a kid when I first watched it, and thankfully I haven't seen or heard of it again ever since.
10:03
Daisy Duck: Donald, say something!
Donald Duck: **BUUUUUUUURP!!**
Well, excuse me, Princess!
I went to Alaska to see my Mom and stepdad. He says he hates the DuckTales reboot because it's not the same and they should just rerun the original. He's crazy.
"YOUR MAJESTY?!"
"Shhh..."
Who else could it be? Mortimer?!
Hard to believe this character has been around for almost a Century....
Even if there’s so much people hating on him for irony and these cartoons, I must admit, overall he’s a sweet and good character. And I love him for that, and him literally being one of the first animated cartoon characters too.
Yeah Mickeys DA best but not in TAC
I’ve watched #5, #3, and #1 but I really liked them all 🤷♂️
(EDIT) wow thanks Mr. Strider
Mickey’s Magical Christmas was my childhood though I should mention that I only thought it was OK and I wouldn’t really defend it
House of Mouse is one of my favorites. I did like Twice Upon a Christmas.
I used to love that show as a kid
blaa6 same I loved House of Mouse
I didn't remember Twice Upon a Christmas, but I enjoyed House of Mouse back when I was a toddler.
Top Crossover in cartoons that must happen. Seriously we need a Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny crossover yet Warner Bros and Disney today have a burning rivalry right now still one day.
Who framed roger rabbit may be the closest we get >_
PhantomStrider True. Still I wish Nick, CN, and Disney join together to make the biggest crossover to end all crossover yet realistic it's not going to happen. Hopefully one day but until then we just have to dream about it.
I actually kinda liked Donald's part of Orphan's Benefit. If I remember right it was only the second time Clarance had voiced Donald, so the voice wasn't as "evolved" yet. (He sounded similar in The Wise Little Hen.) I skip the other parts though.
I never grew up with Mickey mouse, like I knew who he was but I didn't really see his cartoons. I watched the mainstream disney classics tho. :D
I didn't either, but after watching Mickey, Boom,instantly in love with him no questions asked
Seeing Mickey Mouse always puts a smile on my face! He is undoubtably one of the absolute best cartoon characters of all time.
Yeah he's my angel
Finally ! The legend has uploaded another video !
Anthony Perez true
why did u say it then?
The brand to make Western Animation the way it was for Disney to use as a format for their methods was actually Fleischer Productions. The styles changed with Disney making a more child-friendly style and Fleischer making grittier and more adult animations.
But the Fleischers can occasionally create kid-friendly material like Gulliver's Travel (not the Jack Black one) and a kid-friendly version of Betty Boop in a better way.
Quick note on the subject of "Orphan's Benefit":
The short was originally created in black and white in 1934 and was the second ever appearance of Donald Duck after the Silly Symphony short "The Wise Little Hen". In roughly 1939, a project was in the works titled "Mickey's Revival Party". The characters in the film were said to have gone to a theater and interacted with the cartoons as they were being shown. "Orphan's Benefit" was one of the shorts planned to be featured, and the color remake shown here (eventually released on its own in 1941) was the only trace of the scrapped project we got.
The House of Mouse was just a fun series meant to bring together every Disney animated movie character together and have them interact with each other. It was basically what Disney is doing now with Ralph Breaks the Internet, and I enjoyed watching those cartoons as a kid especially since my favorite Disney characters were all in one room.
