Disney's Very Merry Christmas Songs is a Christmas sing-along video produced by Walt Disney Home Video, originally released in 1988. It was the fifth release in Disney's Sing Along Songs series, and was reissued in 1990 and 1994. A new version with some new songs added in was released in 2002.

Featured songs[]

The original 1988, 1990 and 1994 releases contained the following songs:

13 "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" Larry Groce and the Disneyland Sing-Along Chorus Plays over the closing credits and the fireworks ending from "A Present for Donald"

The song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" used footage from the 1946 Max Fleischer cartoon of the same name as Disney had never made a Rudolph cartoon themselves. This is due to the Fleischer cartoon being in the public domain, allowing Disney to use it without any legal trouble, and also marking a rare instance of non-Disney footage being used in the Sing-Along Songs series. Also, the lyrics to the song "Jingle Bells" used overlayed footage from the 1949 Famous Studios Screen Song cartoon "Snow Foolin'" (which is also in the public domain).

The 2002 reissue removed "From All of Us to All of You" from the main feature (it is placed as a bonus song at the end of the Advanced level of the Words of the Season vocabulary game on the DVD) and added in the following songs:

Releases[]

Differences between versions[]

  • In the original issues, a still image of the Christmas tree from Lady and the Tramp was used for the closing credits. The firework shot from the TV special "A Present for Donald" was used at the end, as well.
  • In the 2002 release, "Winter Wonderland" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" have the same design for the bouncing ball as the 1988 version but looks different. In addition, the timing to the words are also different.
  • In the 2002 release, the bouncing ball for "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" has the Mickey with the Rudolph design for all of the duration of the song but in the 1988 version, the regular bouncing ball appears but when it goes to the line, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", the bouncing ball with the Rudolph design appears and stays there for the rest of the song.
  • The 2002 release was dedicated to Elenor Richard-Adams.
  • The 2002 release used a different recording of "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers".
