Disney’s Yellow Shoes Creative Group (their ad folks) have dreamed up what may very well be the merriest of all Christmas spots. The 30-second, hand-drawn 2D animated ad answers the question of what makes Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, well, “very merry”:

Disney says the ad is “inspired by the classic Disney shorts and vintage holiday greeting cards.”

Adding to the ad campaign is a downloadable story explaining how Mickey’s first Very Merry Christmas Party began, with a bit of rhyme.

The Disney Parks Blog is also offering a few beautiful desktop wallpaper downloads featuring these same 2D friends. It’s nice to see the classic animation style get a little attention in today’s world of CG.
