    "Mickey", "Minnie" and "Pluto" are safely ensconced indoors on a cold and wintry Christmas Eve. She's playing the organ accompanying her own rather tone deaf signing, he is doing the tree and the dog is sleeping in front of a roaring fire. The door bell rings and a basket is found outside. In it comes - and boy, do they quickly wish they'd just left well alone. It's a cat, and another cat, and another... Think "101 Dalmatians" only add a zero. Comic chaos ensues with their home now a playpen for the miscreant and increasingly nasty pussies. The residents have to come up with a plan to be shot of their unwanted guests - but how? Some of the cat antics start off quite fun and they even, politely, dance to "Minnie" on her piano but after a very short while the joke wears a bit thin and the film becomes actually quite annoying as the cats begin more to resemble locusts!

Mickey's Good Deed

Mickey is playing Christmas carols on a standup bass for change. Alas, all he gets is screws, rocks, and other useless stuff. He plays outside a rich man's window, and the spoiled brat kid inside decides he wants Pluto. Mickey isn't selling, but when his bass gets destroyed by a passing sleigh and he sees a house full of orphans with no presents, he changes his mind. Mickey plays Santa to the kids. Meanwhile, the brat has been torturing Pluto; his father finally has enough and throws Pluto out and spanks the child. Pluto and Mickey are reunited, and as a bonus, the kid has tied the Christmas turkey to Pluto's tail. (Also included: Chip an' Dale 1947, Lend a Paw 1941)

Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales

Tis the season for the cheer and charm of the Peanuts kids - and this delight special offers five segments full of unforgettable moments. Snoopy works as a bell-ringer to raise money and tries making peace with the ferocious cat next door. Linus strives to strike the right tone in his letter to Santa - and his friendship with an indecisive girl at school. Sally's idea about gift giving and the identity of Santa may be unusual - but her strange notion about how to obtain a Christmas tree surprisingly does the job. Lucy tries awfully hard to be nice...and still coax everyone around her to buy her presents. Charlie Brown and Sally wait up for Santa (a surprisingly short man), who spreads Christmas gift cheer further than they had thought. Make merry!
