Late 2001 saw the first direct-to-video spinoff of the
series House of Mouse. Starring Wayne
Allwine, Bill Farmer, Corey Burton, Tony Anselmo, John Cleese, Russi Taylor and
Tress MacNellie, Snowed in at the House
of Mouse was yet another package film.
A snowstorm leaves everyone in the House of Mouse stranded
and Donald doesn’t have any Christmas spirit. Mickey gathers Christmas cartoons
for the patrons to watch.
Cartoons include Donald on Ice, Pluto’s Christmas Tree, Mickey’s
Christmas Carol, and the Nutcracker.
Can we stop putting together loose frames as an excuse to
have an anthology movie? This shouldn’t have been a direct-to-video movie. This
should have been another episode of the series. It’s particularly frustrating
because it was released in 2001, when House
of Mouse had its first season.
There’s nothing really notable about it, but the reason it
was an hour instead of half an hour is because Mickey’s Christmas Carol is 25
minutes long.
And you know what? It escapes the Edge of Dissatisfaction because
it has Mickey’s Christmas Carol.
Bother.
