Pierre Tchernia hosts this Christmas show and offers a chance for young Disney fans to call the show and select the clips of Disney features and shorts that they want to see. Ten titles are written on a board on the set and Simone Quittard announces the titles that are selected. This time, children started calling the day before and the show starts with a popular Mickey Mouse cartoon and by Lady and the Tramp which is being re-released in France at the time. Snow White follows, then Mary Poppins. 25 minutes into the show, as Pierre recaps the various titles, he notices that the crew made a spelling mistake on the board : it should read "20 mille lieues sous les mers" instead of "20 milles..." for the French title of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". The next clip is a credit-less version of the main title sequence of That Darn Cat!. Then comes Donald Duck in a rare war cartoon and Merlin from The Sword in The Stone packs his bag. Before the last clip of Peter Pan comes, Simone predicts that 20 years from now, the show could still exist and would be as popular based on the number of calls she receives : more than 5.000 calls. Since Pinocchio was not chosen this time, Pierre promises that he will show a clip of the film in his next February episode of
L'ami public numéro un (1961).
