Like all Disney efforts this short has the heart of kids in mind, but unlike the good productions this one has none of the restraint on over the top cuteness.
The music is harsh and garbled. Could nobody say to the producers and director "This is too much". Too many songs with no purpose and no charm. Caned generic not memorable of singable.
All the regular gang is here and for the most part they all play their respective parts, but something is not quite right. Donald has acquired a gluttonous trait and is going to the sweets at every chance. Goofy, the known harbinger of disaster, is oddly just a background player and neither helps or hinders the proceedings.
Strictly for the Six and under crowd.

Too Sacchrin for its Own Good
This should've went straight to Disney Junior
I hate to say it but Mickey Saves Christmas is probably my least favorite Mickey Mouse cartoon. The only thing I really enjoyed was the fact that this is a stop-motion special, it's a medium that Disney hasn't really done with Mickey and friends before and looks very colorful, but they literally have nothing but a completely preschool-friendly saving santa plot and all the characters act far too much like their Disney Junior counterparts as if the only audience watching this were small children. It shouldn't have been a Disney Channel release as Disney Channel is more of a network for all ages, it would've made sense airing on Disney Junior.
An earlier Christmas special Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas honestly did this way better as it gave the characters a lot of humor and heart and even some conveyed messages about Christmas. The characters here barely even act like the sensational six that everyone loves as they're all just acting surprisingly generic and barely have any jokes or memorable moments in this overdone Santa saving storyline. It may sound like I'm nitpicking but it just feels surprisingly basic compared to all the other Mickey projects I've seen.
Like I said, this holiday special would've been better off airing directly on Disney Junior. This doesn't feel like anything more than a watered down TV special for kids.
Disney lied again
It happens the second time that one actress was supposed to be there but left behind. In Mickey Mouse Funhouse season finale Mickey Guyton as Wanda Warbler was supposed to be appeared at Sunny Gulch Theater, but it turns out it was the Weasel Trio which that was unacceptable. In this New Christmas special Every article said Tress MacNeille is voicing Daisy Duck and when I watch it last night her voice sounds different so I look the end credits it was Debra Wilson. That broke my heart because I had a crush on Tress Voicing Daisy since Mickey and the Roadster Racers exist back in 2017. Overall the Movie is good If they lied about voicing someone again, I am just gonna just watch TCM.
