From All of Us to All of You


"From All of Us to All of You" is an animated television Christmas special, produced by Walt Disney Productions and first presented on December 19, 1958, on ABC as part of the Walt Disney Presents anthology series. Hosted by Jiminy Cricket along with Mickey Mouse and Tinker Bell, the special combines newly produced animation with clips from vintage animated Disney shorts and feature films, presented to the viewer as "Christmas cards" from the various characters starring in each one.
The episode was re-broadcast for the first time on Christmas Day, in 1960.
Starting in 1963 and continuing through the 1970s, re-airings of the special would be in color instead of black-and-white and include preview footage of the studio's new or upcoming feature films. Beginning in 1983, it was expanded to 90 minutes and retitled A Disney Channel Christmas for airing on cable television's The Disney Channel. A re-tooled home video version of the special, retitled Jiminy Cricket's Christmas, appeared on VHS, Betamax, and Laserdisc in 1986. The special has yet to see a DVD release.
The show has been shown infrequently in the United States in recent years. However, in Sweden, the program has been shown every Christmas Eve since 1960. Ratings show that around 40% of all Swedes watch it on Christmas Eve, the record being just over half the population.

Regional variations and local cultural significance

United States

In the U.S., 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
  • Toy Tinkers : included an extended introduction as well as scenes of Chip and Dale's own Christmas decorating activities.
There were also clips from the following feature films, labeled in the special as "Memorable Moments":
The special ends with Jiminy Cricket sharing his memorable moment, his song "When You Wish Upon a Star", which he states "symbolizes faith, hope and all the things that Christmas stands for".
Starting in 1963 and continuing through the 1970s, all scenes with Walt and Tinker Bell's intros, as well as Santa's Workshop, were replaced with a surprise gift, which were teasers for upcoming Disney films, including The Sword in the Stone, The Jungle Book, The Aristocats, Robin Hood and Pete's Dragon. In the 1963 version, Walt Disney presented the surprise gift. Starting in 1967, Jiminy Cricket hosted the surprise gift segment. The 1979 broadcast differed from the rest, as a pre-existing short, Corn Chips , starring Donald Duck and Chip 'n' Dale was presented.

Denmark

In Denmark, the show is called Disneys Juleshow: Fra alle os til alle jer and is broadcast every Christmas Eve at 4:00 p.m. 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. It was first broadcast in 1967, but Danish audio was not available until 1979.
The Danish version features the following shorts:
As well as clips from the following feature films:
It ends with Bjørn Tidmand singing "When You Wish upon a Star" in Danish and a sneak peek of either an upcoming or a clip from a recently or soon-to-be-released Disney feature film.

Finland

In Finland, the show is called Samu Sirkan joulutervehdys, and is shown every Christmas Eve evening and Christmas morning on MTV3.
The Finnish version features clips from the following shorts:
There are also clips from the following feature films:
A special "surprise" clip is dubbed in Finnish but everything else is in English with Finnish subtitles.
The show's name is inconsistent, as it is occasionally referred to as The New From All of Us to All of You, but is mostly referred to as Samu Sirkan Joulutervehdys.

Norway

In Norway, the show is called Donald Duck og vennene hans on NRK and Disneys julekavalkade on TV Norge, and is shown every Christmas Eve afternoon at 2:00pm on NRK1 and NRK Super. Most of the shorts are shown in their original English-speaking versions, with Norwegian subtitles.

Sweden

In Sweden, the show is called Kalle Anka och hans vänner önskar God Jul. It is broadcast on SVT1 at 3:05p.m. as part of the channel's traditional Christmas Eve programming, which features a live host between programmes, a role closely associated with Arne Weise, who is the only host to have featured more than three times. The changed title reflects the fact that Donald Duck is far more popular than Mickey Mouse in Sweden. The montage is narrated by Bengt Feldreich, who translates character dialogue through voiceover dubs, and also replaces the original English voice of Jiminy Cricket, including the performance of When You Wish Upon a Star.
The special, which is typically referred to as simply Kalle Anka, along with its characters and cartoons, is 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, SVT1 was the only television channel in the country, and even then, the country's public broadcaster Sveriges Television had a monopoly on television broadcasting until the 1987 launch of TV3, 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. 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, and still drawing 3.3 million viewers in 2019.
Due to its legacy and prominence, the special has remained largely unchanged. 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 and tabloid 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 reverted the following year. In 2012, Disney decided to edit the Santa's Workshop segment, removing "cultural stereotypes", that had been restored to the episode in 1983, provoking another public debate. From the 2021 broadcast onward, Disney introduced disclaimers to provide additional context for outdated cultural depictions.
The following shorts are usually shown, in integral or edited format:

One or two clips from new and upcoming Disney feature films are also shown and change each year. These "surprise gifts" are also shown on all other international broadcasts within their respective year.
