‘Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas’ Plot

Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas features classic Disney animated characters in five separate story segments.

In “Belles on Ice,” Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck compete in an ice skating competition. Minnie and Daisy compete for the crowd’s attention, each trying to outdo the other, eventually summoning the dancing hippos and crocodiles from Fantasia (1940) as backup skaters. The two competitors argue, push each other, and do dangerous stunts to impress the crowd, which includes their two worried boyfriends, Mickey and Donald. When Minnie slips on a bell during a blindfolded stunt, Daisy realizes they’ve both been unkind and helps Minnie up. The two reconcile and join together in a grand finale.

“Christmas: Impossible” features Huey, Dewey, and Louie celebrating Christmas with Donald and Daisy at Uncle Scrooge McDuck’s mansion. After misbehaving at dinner, sure they’ve landed on Santa’s naughty list, the three boys go to the North Pole to put their names on the good list. There they get into more mischief but together with Santa’s elves are able to put things right and save Christmas. Instead of writing their own names on the good list, they add Uncle Scrooge. On Christmas morning they find a note from Santa telling them that their actions have earned them a place on the good list.

In “Christmas Maximus,” Goofy and his young-adult son Max are celebrating Christmas together, along with Max’s girlfriend, Mona. Max is embarrassed by his father at first but soon realizes that he loves his dad, goofy or not. As he joins in the fun with Goofy and Mona, the three realize they all have something in common.

All Donald wants for Christmas is some peace and quiet, and he finds it hard to come by in “Donald’s Gift.” First, he misses the bus on his way home from the grocery store, and as he tries to make his way home he is increasingly annoyed by all the people he encounters full of holiday cheer—and his inability to escape the omnipresent “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” Once home, he is aggravated that Daisy and his nephews want him to go out again to the mall. There, things only get worse as everything around him seems to be playing the same carol. When he tries to escape it by going into a secret room, he finds himself in a scene full of animatronic carolers and destroys them before realizing they are part of the show that his nephews had come to the mall to see. Huey, Dewey and Louie tell Donald he’s not their uncle anymore and leave heartbroken with Daisy. Donald is then tossed from the mall and begins walking home, miserable until he finds carolers struggling with “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” and begins conducting them. A crowd forms and joins in, drawing in Daisy and the boys. Donald apologizes to them and they all join in the carol.

In the final segment, “Mickey’s Dog-Gone Christmas,” Pluto ends up in the doghouse after he accidentally destroys Mickey’s Christmas tree, including ornaments Mickey has just made. Pluto runs away from home and ends up being shipped to the North Pole, where he is adopted by Santa’s reindeer. When Mickey finds Pluto missing, he ends up asking for help from a department store Santa—little does he know it’s the real Santa. Meanwhile, Pluto is homesick, and Santa and the reindeer help him get home. Back home, Mickey and Pluto finish decorating the tree as friends arrive, and the film closes as they sing a medley of carols.

‘Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas’ Trivia: 5 Fast Facts

Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas is a festive holiday treat for kids and grownups alike, featuring familiar voices and new takes on some familiar holiday themes. Here’s what you need to know.

1. One segment that was cut from the movie told the story of how Mickey and Minnie first met.

It was Christmas, and they were both anticipating spending the holiday alone until they found each other. Other segments that didn’t make the final movie include a mystery in which Mickey tries to find out who stole Minnie’s Christmas cookies and a “Twelve Days of Christmas” musical revue led by Donald.

2. Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas was a last hurrah for several familiar longtime voice actors.

The movie is Disney’s final direct-to-video release featuring the voices of Wayne Allwine (Mickey), Alan Young (Uncle Scrooge McDuck), and Russi Taylor (Minnie), who had all voiced their characters for decades. Allwine died in 2009, Young in 2016 and Taylor in 2019.

3. The film was among the first to present the familiar Mickey Mouse characters in computer animation (CGI).

Mickey and Donald had appeared in CGI before—Mickey in Muppet*vision 3-D (1991) and both in the Disney theme park attraction “Mickey’s PhilharMagic” (2003)—but this was the first CGI appearance for Minnie, Daisy, Goofy, Max, Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey and Louie.

4. Look for the “grumpy dog.”

He may not be as cute as Grumpy Cat, but the “grumpy dog” character appears in four out of the five segments: as a delivery worker in “Christmas: Impossible,” at the train ticket counter and on the train in “Christmas Maximus,” in the audience at the mall in “Donald’s Gift” and as a rude passerby in “Mickey’s Dog-Gone Christmas.”

5. This isn’t the first time Kellie Martin has played Max’s love interest.

Martin played the voice of Max’s girlfriend, Roxanne, in A Goofy Movie (1995) and the voice of Mona in the “Christmas Maximus” segment of Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas.
