"A Disney Channel Christmas"

Post by musicradio77 »

With "A Walt Disney Christmas" and "A Disney Christmas Gift" out of the other Disney holiday specials, I recently unleashed a rare Disney holiday special to feast your eyes on. It was called "A Disney Channel Christmas". This special was originally aired back in 1983 on the old Disney Channel. This special takes on a comedic and nostalgic look at the Christmas season. In addition to clips from numerous cartoons with Christmas themes, the show includes "Christmas Morning", a segment featuring clips of toys and Christmas decorations (as featured in "A Disney Christmas Gift"), and a look at "Mickey's Christmas Carol" (as featured on "Classic Cartoon Favorites - Vol. 9: Classic Holiday Stories"). Jiminy Cricket ends the show with a special version of "When You Wish Upon a Star" (from "Pinocchio"). This special was also released on VHS as "Jiminy Cricket's Christmas". It also includes the following cartoons:

1. "The Nutcracker Suite" from "Fantasia" (1940)
2. "Once Upon a Wintertime" from "Melody Time" (1948)
3. "Pluto's Christmas Tree" (1952)
4. "Donald's Snow Fight" (1942)
5. "The Art of Skiing" (1941)
6. "Mickey's Good Deed" (1932)
7. "Clock Watcher" (1945)
8. "Santa's Workshop" (1932)
9. "The Night Before Christmas" (1933)

All of the 9 cartoons featured clips from several Disney animated classics like "Peter Pan", "Bambi", "Pinocchio", "Cinderella" and "Snow White". Those last two films are unrestored long before the Platinum Editions were digitally restored on DVD. "Snow White" in 2000 and "Cinderella" this year as well as the special edition of "Bambi". It was a terrific special out of other great Disney Christmas specials and films like "Mickey's Magical Christmas", "Mickey's One Upon a Christmas", "Beauty and the Beast: The Enchantment Christmas" and the latest holiday film "Disney Princess: A Christmas of Enchantment". Anybody else seen it?

Spies13, You should try this one on ebay for this item here I hope this works. As I said before you go to this link, "Jiminy Cricket's Christmas" was the alternate VHS title for "A Disney Channel Christmas". I'm not going to sell it, I would keep it as it is. Sorry about that.

Musicradio77 - A Disney Channel Christmas is 90 minutes and is basically A Walt Disney Christmas, A Disney Christmas Gift, and Jiminy Cricket's Christmas edited into one. Jiminy Cricket's Christmas is only 47 minutes and has not even half of the material you have on A Disney Channel Christmas. I wasn't planning on you selling your copy to me but rather burning another copy onto a dvd-r. i would pay 50 bucks for it. Let me know.

Okay! This thread is only 4 years old, so...

After all of these requests for the last four years, I just check on YouTube and low and behold, I finally found a TV special made for the Disney Channel back in 1983 and it is called "A Disney Channel Christmas". Thanks to "DTVzone" for finding this awesome special. I have this one on DVD, but someone posted in 10 parts. I used to watched this since I was a kid, but I still like this one. It features portions from the episode "From All of Us to All of You" as featured on the TV show "Walt Disney Presents" back in 1958.

This special is dedicated to every Disney fan. Enjoy in 10-parts.

Thanks for uploading! I'm going to get on my iPod touch, access youtube and bookmark the one with Donald's Snowball fight.

Years ago, when Mickey's Christmas Carol first aired on television, they aired that Donald Snowball fight one and I loved it. I just couldn't remember the name of the cartoon.

Pluto's Christmas Tree is also on the old dvd that has Mickey's Christmas Carol and The Small one on it.
Disney Channel died when they stopped airing movies with Haley mills (Parent Trap and Pollyanna) and fun adventure movies like Swiss Family Robinson. R.I.P. the REAL Disney Channel. Date of Death: When the shows became teenie bopperish.

On this special, they have "The Art of Sking", "The Clock Watcher", "Santa's Workshop" (which was included on the DVD entitled Walt Disney Animation Collection: "Mickey's Christmas Carol") and "The Night Before Christmas". Plus a few others.
