Plot[]
Mickey is overwhelmed with praise for saving the previous Christmas. Not satisfied with being a "novelty act" that performs tricks with his nose, Mickey travels with Minnie and Goofy, to the Island of Misfit Toys to give King Moonracer a root canal dental treatment. On the return trip, a storm sends Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy to Castaway Cove, where they meet a hippopotamus-like fairy named Queen Camilla, who fixes toys. Mickey considers getting a normal nose, but is warned that if he gets a normal nose, he will not be able to lead the sleigh anymore on foggy nights, which could potentially put Santa's deliveries in danger. Meanwhile, the evil Toy Taker steals the toys from Santa's workshop and Camilla's place, claiming that he is saving them from the unbearable truth that children outgrow their toys and throw them away. With three days until Christmas, Mickey creates a plan to foil the Toy Taker with Minnie, Goofy, Donald Duck, and the Pete. The team predicts that the thief will go to the Island next, and they disguise themselves as toys. The Toy Taker's blimp arrives and manages to steal them with the Misfit Toys, except Pete, who is too big to fit into the blimp, so he follows on a floating iceberg. The Toy Taker realizes that they are intruders, and dumps them out of the blimp. They fly back, and Yukon pursues the thief around the blimp. Donald's shoes puncture holes, and he falls off the blimp after losing balance, but he is caught by Pete. Goofy pilots the blimp back to Christmastown, and he is saved by Pete before crashing. The Toy Taker attempts to escape by heading into Donald's Peppermint Mine. A chase ensues, ending with Donald catching him with Goofy's dental floss. After removing the Toy Taker's coat and hat, the figure is revealed to be an injured teddy bear on stilts named Mr. Cuddles. Cuddles explains that he used to belong to a boy named Steven who outgrew him, and he was thrown away. Afterward, he became the Toy Taker to save other toys from meeting the same fate. Santa explains that although it is true that some children outgrow their toys, he knew that Steven was looking for him. Mickey Mouse and all his friends agree to bring Mr. Cuddles to Queen Camilla to repair him and cheer him. Mickey also reconsiders changing his nose, realizing that it has more uses. Santa leaves to deliver presents, and Mr. Cuddles is returned to his owner. Santa tells him that Steven intended to save him as a family gift. He places him in the bed of Steven's new daughter, who awakens and cuddles him. Steven walks into the room to check on his daughter and smiles as Santa and his Reindeers fly away into the night.
