Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas (1999)
Mickey, Minnie, and their famous friends Goofy, Donald, Daisy and Pluto gather together to reminisce about the love, magic and surprises in three wonder-filled stories of Christmas past.
In Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “anthropomorphic holiday world”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing family, tradition, generosity.
