Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas (1999) - full transcript

[ Narrator ]
One time a year
there’s a marvelous night,

when enchantment and wonder
spark and take flight.

Each home fills with joy
on this grand holiday,

with hearts growing warm
in a magical way.

The rooms are all covered
with garlands and wreaths.

The mantle is ready,
with stockings beneath.

Lights twinkle and glow
and bells brightly chime.

The moment’s arrived !
It’s here ! Christmas time.

Three precious gifts
lie under this tree,

What secrets they hold ?
Let’s look, and we’ll see.

The first tells a story
for us all to hear...



about laughter and family
and those we hold dear.

We love Christmas so much
we want it to stay,

but what if we wished
it was here every day ?

happen to me ?
I don’t understand.

[ Narrator ]
So, Christmas was meant
to last just one day,

and maybe it’s simply
better that way.

It’s a time to be treasured.
It can’t always be here,

but the feeling it gives us
can last the whole year.

Now, this gift holds a story
both wondrous and rare...

about a father and a son
and the love that they share.

This Christmas, they’ll learn
before the night’s through,

if we care for each other
our dreams can come true.

or Santy’s never gonna
find our chimney--

[ Yells ]

[ Laughs ]
Ain’t that quaint.

The Goofbrain thinks
there’s a Santy Claus.

- There isn’t ?
- [ Laughs ]

Like father, like Goof.

Kid’s got the Goof gene coursin’
through his bloodstream.

There is too a Santa !

Oh, now, son.
Come here.

See, it’s an urbane myth,

like that, uh,
"Locked Mess Monstrosity"...

and the fella that brings
the sweepstakes checks, see ?

Well, think of it:
An old guy in a red suit,

cruisin’ the whole, entire world
in one night.

Usin’ reindeer what fly ?

Why, it’s
practically impossible !

Look, kid.
I’ve been around, see ?

Been to all the foreign lands,
Brooklyn included.

And I never seen--
nor met a soul who’s seen--

this Santy Claus fella.

Look, Maxie !
I found the front door !

So long, neighbors.

Have a very merry Christmas.

Oh ! And a happy New Year.

Hey ! How about givin’

What is it, Maxie ? Why,
you look like Santy Claus...

put a lump of coal
in your stockin’.

I heard there isn’t
any Santa Claus.

Oh, who went and told you
a silly thing like that ?

Mr. Pete.
Oh, that figures.

Son, of course
there’s a Santy !

Otherwise we’d have
a lot of out-of-work elves
runnin’ around.

- Y-You think ?
- Think ? Heck, I’m sure !

You take it from me, son.
Have I ever been wrong ?

- Well--
- Why, even a broken clock...

is right
two or three times a day.

And this time, I’m right !

Believe me.
Santa won’t let you down.

Do you really think
he’ll come ?

Why, as sure as pigs fly !

Hey, Dad.
What’d you ask for
from Santa ?

Oh, you know, uh,
just the usual.

What’s that ?

[ Whispering ]
It’s a surprise.

Now, plug her in and let
the joy of Christmas shine !

put the spirit
of Christmas in ya.

An old guy, in a red suit,

cruisin’ the whole,

Usin’ reindeer what fly ?

Why, it’s practically
impossible !

[ Echoing ]
Impossible ! Impossible !

Hiya, Maxie !
Wanna help ?

Did you know that there are
over two billion children
in the world ?

Hmm. No wonder I keep
trippin’ over roller skates.

That means Santa would have to
make like 800 visits a second,

not including
bathroom breaks.

Well, I guess ol’ Santy’s
been at it so long,

he figured out
all the shortcuts.

[ Grunting ]

[ Laughs ]
Looks like it’s gonna be
a white Christmas after all !

Dad ! This is serious !

Oh, I know, son,
but--

[ Sniffing ]
Gosh, somethin’ sure smells
mighty tasty !

Yeow ! Ohh !
Oooh ! Aah !

Ahh.
But how can
a reindeer fly ?

Oh, that’s easy.
It’s those antlers.
They, uh--

Well, you know,
with the wind and all--

That there creates lift,
and, uh--

Hot, hot, hot, hot !
Hot, hot !

Still, it’s a lot of work
for one guy.

And that’s why
we leave him these cookies--

for a quick pick-me-up--
up-- whoa !

But it just doesn’t
quite make sense, Dad.

Hmm, chestnuts.

♪♪ [ Humming ]

Where are we going, Dad ?
[ Humming ]

Goin’ to share
the joy of Christmas
with those...

a little
less fortunate.

Well, shouldn’t Santa
be doing this ?

Oh, Santy’s on a very tight
schedule this time of year,

so we’re givin’ him
a helpin’ hand.

Wh-o-o-o-oa !

[ Laughs ]
Looks like I might
need one too.

Hey.

Wanna play toy "carses" ?

I only gots two,
but you can have one.

Santa gave me this one
last year.

This year I hope he’s gonna
give me another one.

I ain’t so sure there is
such a thing as--

Christmas Eve dinner
is served !

Thank you so much.
With things bein’
so tight this year--

Well, without you,
we wouldn’t have--
Aw, don’t mention it.

You’d do the same for me.

But have you ever

Uh, ho, ho !
Santy’s got a little problem
with one of his elves,

but he’ll be right ba--
[ Grunts ]

Gosh, Maxie,
I’m real sorry.

I was just tryin’
to make those kids happy.

’Member the old Goof tradition

cookies ’fore bedtime ?

What’s the point ?

And ’member how we always open
just one present
on Christmas Eve ?

and my yo-yo ?

Santa didn’t forget
your gift, did he ?

Every year I ask
for the same gift,

and every year, I get it.

- What’s that ?
- Your happiness.

Uh-oh.
Wh-What is it, son ?

[ Chuckles ]
Got you the same thing.

Merry Christmas, Dad.
Merry Christmas,

Where are ya goin’ ?

I’m gonna go
share my new present
with little Jimmy next door.

That’s my boy.

[ Both Laughing ]

[ Narrator ]
So, Christmas is found
in the way that we live--

not what we receive,
but what we can give.

Now the last present here
may seem rather small,

not fancy or flashy,
or special at all.

But this gift can be given
by the rich or the poor.

It’s a gift of the heart,
and it means so much more.

Thanks, Joe !
Merry Christmas !

Merry Christmas, George.

A gift from the heart
is cherished and true.

A present is best...

when love’s given too.

So, in the end,
it’s love that’s the reason...

that Christmas is more
than a gift-giving season.

It’s a time with our loved ones
to show that we care,

when families and neighbors
come together to share.

So, this Christmas season,
let us all do our parts,

to keep Christmas spirit
alive in our hearts.
