Description:
Once in a blue moon, a single character comes along and makes the whole world laugh. From the moment Mickey Mouse appeared on the big screen whistling on a steamboat, Walt Disney's endearing little mouse captured hearts and tickled funny bones. And he hasn't stopped. In celebration of the world's most famous and best-loved character, his best friends -- Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and the gang -- present Mickey through the years in his most memorable movie shorts. From Mickey's color debut in 'The Band Concert,' to the never-before-released-on-video 'Orphan's Picnic,' and 'Mickey's Surprise Party,' to the inspired 'Mickey And The Seal,' THE SPIRIT OF MICKEY is an engaging collection of Mickey's best and brightest moments.

Amazon.com:
This is a solid collection of vintage Mickey Mouse cartoons, presented virtually complete, for once, and not just as a cut-and-paste clips assortment. (Introductory material is cobbled together from old Mickey Mouse Club and Wonderful World of Disney broadcasts.) The program is fun to watch, but it's also a revealing historical pageant. In classic action-comedy items like 'Mickey's Trailer' and 'Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip,' it is clear that the Disney Studio's faultless technique, even when dealing with elaborate props and frantic activity, is a tradition that was established early on. And in tales of interspecies conflict like 'Lend a Paw' and 'Mickey's Seal' (both involving pitched battles between Mickey's dog Pluto and cuddly interlopers in the Mouse household), we can see how that institutional polish blunts the edge of the comedy--in sharp contrast, for instance, to the rough and raucous Warner Brothers style. Purists will fume over some of the choices that were made here: no original release dates are given for the cartoons, the credit sequences are missing, and the colors have been digitally homogenized. But get real: this is mass-market shelf-filler packaged for the Disney Stores, and as such it's a cut above. --David Chute

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Vintage Mickey
This video is wonderful. It reminds me of my childhood. It is the real Mickey Mouse cartoons that we watched as kids. I was very satisfied with this product. My daughter(5) also loves this video.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My family and I love this collection of Mickey Mouse and his pals!
This is a great collection of some of the best Mickey Mouse color cartoons. It starts off with "The Band Concert" which incidentally was Mickey's first cartoon in color as related by Minnie. It is very funny and is full of good music, both classical (William Tell Overture) and tin pan alley (Turkey in the Straw). "Thru the Mirror" is a fun-but-dated take-off on Lewis Carroll's classics "Through The Looking Glass" and "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". 1941's "Lend A Paw" won an Academy Award for Short Subject with its classic "Good Pluto"/"Bad Pluto" storyline. Next, Donald Duck stars in the "Orphan's Picnic" with scores of naughty little mice who are truly out for a good time. This is followed by "The Worm Turns" featuring a pre-Sorceror's Apprentice Mickey Mouse up to some familiar tricks, mixing a strength potion to be used only on the underdogs. "Mickey's Surprise Party" is a cute little vignette starring Mickey ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Mickey starts again in comedy and a new suprise!
Once again Mickey Mouse shows us lots of the most popular Mickey Mouse cartoons of all time (Including a big suprise!) I'm not gonna tell you the cartoons but i really enjoy them. These cartoons are the funniest, jokers of all cartoons ("Ed, Ed, 'n' Eddy" is dumb, and not a good cartoon.) If you get this movie, get a couch, pop some popcorn, then get ready for the cartoon of your life!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful Animated Fun
This is a wonderful example of Disney at its best. My two-year old and three-year old love this movie beginning to end. It is one of the videos I actually enjoying watching over and over again. I would recommend it for people age 1 to 99.
