Trivia / Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas

• Acting for Two:
  • As usual, Russi Taylor voices Minnie Mouse and Huey, Dewey and Louie.
  • Bill Farmer reprises his roles as Goofy and Pluto.
  • In addition to voicing Daisy, Tress MacNeille voices Chip and Aunt Gertie.
  • In addition to reprising his role as Pete, Jim Cummings (1952) voices Santa Claus, a policeman, a mailman, the fire chief, a father and the shopkeeper.
  • Jeff Bennett voices a father, as well as Mortimer Mouse, the store announcer, a man and a customer.
  • Gregg Berger voices Mr. Anderson and a shopper.
  • Pat Musick voices a distressed woman, an angry woman, an eccentric lady, a shopper and Mrs. Anderson.
  • Frank Welker reprises his role as Figaro and voices the turkey.
  • April Winchell voices a mother, an old woman, a firewoman and a firefighter.
  • The Brazilian dub has Sergio Moreno voicing Mickey Mouse and the narrator.
• Better Export for You: Walt Disney Home Video's first Region 1 DVD of this movie presented it in Pan and Scan, while Region 2 received a widescreen DVD. The Blu-Ray and Digital HD copies rectified this, by finally making the widescreen version available in North America.
• Children Voicing Children: Outside of Donald's nephews, all the child characters are voiced by actual children, such as 11-year-old Shaun Fleming voicing Max.
• Kids' Meal Toy: In the 2000 holiday season, McDonald's sold toys of Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto as part of their "Disney Stars" Happy Meal, which also included toys based on Toy Story 2, A Bug's Life, Winnie the Pooh: Seasons of Giving, The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea, and Dinosaur.
• Protagonist Title Fallacy:
  • Despite the movie predominantly about him, Mickey doesn't even appear until the last third of the film in the final story.
  • The title for the first segment makes it seem that Donald is the main character, but the focus is actually on Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
• The Other Darrin:
  • Daisy is voiced by Diane Michelle in the Gift of the Magi segment while the Stuck at Christmas segment has her voiced by Tress MacNeille whom would replace Michelle as Daisy's official voice following this film. However, MacNeille would later re-dub for the voice for subsequent releases of the movie (including the Netflix version).
  • Kid Max is voiced by Shaun Flemming rather than Dana Hill due to her death in 1995.
  • In the Latin American Spanish dub, Rubén Cerda became the official voice of Mickey starting with this film.
  • Laurent Pasquier also became the official voice of Mickey in France beginning with this film.
• What Could Have Been: For the Latin American Spanish dub, Arturo Mercado Jr. was recommended by Raúl Aldana, the creative director of Disney Character Voices International's Latin American division at the time, to voice Mickey for this film. Due to his nervousness, however, veteran actor Rubén Cerda was instead cast as Mickey. Beginning with 2004's Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers, Mercado Jr. went on to become Mickey's official Latin American voice-over artist.
