From All of Us to All of You

In the US, the show originally aired on ABC and occasionally afterwards on NBC. The original version included Walt Disney's introduction where he has been cricket-sized, because, as Mickey and Jiminy would say, Christmas is bigger than all of them. The American version has not been shown on network television since 1980.

The original American version features the following shorts:

• Santa's Workshop (1932)
• Toy Tinkers (1949)

As well as clips from the following feature films, labeled in the special as "Memorable Moments":

• Peter Pan – "You Can Fly!"
• Bambi – Bambi and Thumper ice skating
• Pinocchio – "I've Got No Strings"
• Lady and the Tramp – "Bella Notte"
• Cinderella – "The Work Song" / "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes"
• Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs – "The Silly Song"

The special ends with Jiminy Cricket sharing his memorable moment, his song "When You Wish Upon a Star" (from Pinocchio), which he states "symbolizes faith, hope and all the things that Christmas stands for".

Starting in 1963 and continuing through the 1970s, all of the scenes with Walt and Tinker Bell's intros, as well as Santa's Workshop, were replaced by a teaser for Disney's new or upcoming feature films, including The Sword in the Stone (1963), The Jungle Book (1967), The Aristocats (1970), Robin Hood (1973) and Pete's Dragon (1977). The 1979 broadcast aired the 1951 Donald Duck/Chip 'n' Dale short Corn Chips, and the Aristocats returned in 1980 to promote the cartoon's re-release.[1]

In Denmark the show is called Disneys Juleshow: Fra alle os til alle jer ("Disney's Christmas Show: From All of Us to All of You") and is broadcast every Christmas Eve at 4 PM on DR1. It is narrated by Danish actor Ove Sprogøe who does the Danish voice of Jiminy Cricket. Clips from feature films are voiced in Danish while shorts are in English with Danish subtitles.

In Sweden, the show is called Kalle Anka och hans vänner önskar God Jul ("Donald Duck and His Friends Wish You a Merry Christmas"). It is broadcast on SVT1 at 3:00 p.m. as part of the channel's traditional Christmas Eve programming, including a live host, most prominently Arne Weise from 1972 through 2002. The title reflects the fact that Donald Duck is far more popular than Mickey Mouse in Sweden. The montage is narrated by Bengt Feldreich, dubbing the original English voice of Jiminy Cricket (Cliff Edwards).[5]

The special, which is typically referred to as simply Kalle Anka (Donald Duck), along with its characters and cartoons, are ingrained in Swedish pop culture as a Christmas tradition. The popularity of Kalle Anka in Sweden as a television event was influenced by several factors, including the fact that for the ten years since the special's original premiere in 1960,[6] SVT1 was the only television channel in the country (SVT2 launched in 1969), and even then, the country's public broadcaster Sveriges Television had a monopoly on television broadcasting until the 1987 launch of the country's first commercial channel. At the time, it was also one of the few occasions that U.S.-produced animation was broadcast on Swedish television.[5] Kalle Anka has remained one of the most-watched television specials in the country: usually drawing more than five million viewers up until the 1990s (in a country with then less than nine million inhabitants), and still drawing 3.3 million viewers in 2019 (when Sweden had over ten million inhabitants).[7]

Due to its legacy and prominence, the special has remained relatively unchanged (aside from each year promoting one or two new Disney films). The Swedish public has been protective of Kalle Anka, resisting any significant changes to the special's content: in the 1970s, when SVT's head of children's programming disclosed plans to discontinue the special due to growing anti-commercial sentiment in the country, public outcry resulted in the special being maintained. A similar backlash was faced in 1982 when Ferdinand the Bull was replaced with The Ugly Duckling—a change that was quickly reverted the following year.[5] In 1992, Weise planned to pre-record his hosting segments so he could spend Christmas with his family, but backed down after receiving criticism for breaking the tradition of hosting it live. In a 2007 interview, Weise quipped that hosting the special had affected his personal life, stating that he had three divorces as a result of it.[5] In 2012, Disney decided to edit the Santa's Workshop segment, removing "cultural stereotypes",[8] that had been restored to the episode in 1983, provoking another public debate.[9]
