==Plot==
The story follows an [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] [[dog]] [[Jack Russell Terrier]] named Olive. While in town on Christmas Eve, she meets Martini, a [[con artist]] [[penguin]] recently fired from the city zoo, from whom she buys a [[counterfeit]] [[Rolex]] watch. When she returns home she finds her owner, Tim, sad that there "won't be any Christmas" and disappointed that Olive does not behave like a normal dog. While tuning into the radio for [[Christmas music|comfort music]], she hears a news report that Blitzen, one of [[Santa Claus's reindeer]], will not be able to fly this year and that "all of the other reindeer" would need to be able to pick up the slack. Her pet flea convinces Olive that the report actually said "Olive, the other reindeer"; when Tim tries to apologize, the flea mangles the apology such that Olive thinks Tim hates her. Upset, she runs away, hoping to save Christmas and re-earn Tim's favor.

On the way to the bus station, a [[Going postal|disgruntled Postman]] learns of Olive's plan and vows to foil it, stating he wants Christmas ruined because he cannot handle the [[Green Monday|increased strain on the postal system during the holiday season]] (it is later revealed that his first time on the naughty list triggered a [[vicious cycle|downward spiral making him more vengeful and even naughtier]]). After Martini helps Olive narrowly avoid the Postman's attempt to frame Olive for [[mail fraud]] and capture her, Olive and Martini catch a bus to the [[North Pole]], with the Postman in hot pursuit.

At a layover in Arctic Junction, Olive and Martini stop in a restaurant, where the Postman is waiting, disguised as a waitress, and kidnaps Olive. Olive escapes by finding a [[File (tool)|metal file]], in a packaged addressed to her from a "[[Deus ex machina|Deus Ex Machina]]". She escapes but misses her connecting bus. At a nearby bar, the local patrons are initially hostile before Olive convinces them to be humble and rekindle their Christmas spirit, which they do. [[Silent Night|Round John Virgin]], the bar owner, takes Olive and Martini personally to the North Pole complex. At the gate, the security guard stubbornly turns Olive and Martini away; Martini devises a complex scheme to convince the guard to turn off the security system and gets Olive in. The Postman follows, delivering a parcel of counterfeit letters full of insults to [[Santa Claus]]. The letters nearly convince Santa that he is justified in cancelling the holiday before Olive points out that they lack [[postmark]]s and are therefore fakes. Olive takes Blitzen's place but struggles to keep up with the flight.

At the first house, Santa realizes his bag has been switched with [[advertising mail|junk mail]]; Olive uses the scent to trace it, leading Santa's sleigh to the Postman's [[mail truck]], where the Postman has also captured Martini. They retrieve the presents and rescue Martini, as Olive fashions cardboard mailers into wings to help her fly. Due to the reduced flight weight tolerance because of the missing reindeer, Martini drives home in the truck, but Olive helps deliver the presents to the world. Just as they reach Olive's home, the sleigh is surrounded by thick fog; Santa uses Olive's scent tracking to lead the sleigh back to the North Pole (since [[Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer|Rudolph]] is only an [[urban legend]]). Santa and the reindeer thank Olive for her help and give her a gift of honorary antler ears before Comet gives her a ride home. Arriving home, Olive makes amends with Tim, who is happy to see her and proud of her bravery. Martini is now a postman, while the former Postman has been outfitted with packing tape and cardboard wings to become the city zoo's new penguin.

'''Clarabelle Cow''' is a cartoon character created by [[The Walt Disney Company]]. As a domestic [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] [[Cattle|cow]], Clarabelle is one of [[Minnie Mouse]]'s best friends. She was once depicted as the girlfriend of [[Horace Horsecollar]], although now she is often paired with [[Goofy]].

==Appearances==

===Animation===
Clarabelle first appeared as a nonhumanized cow in the [[Mickey Mouse]] cartoon ''[[Plane Crazy]]'' in 1928.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.disneyshorts.org/years/1928/planecrazy.html|title=Plane Crazy|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080224030109/http://www.disneyshorts.org/years/1928/planecrazy.html|archive-date=2008-02-24 }}. {{cite web|url=http://disneyshorts.org/index.html|title=The Encyclopedia of Disney Animated Shorts|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080323093225/http://www.disneyshorts.org/index.html |archive-date=2008-03-23|access-date=March 16, 2008}}</ref> Humanized soon afterward, she appeared frequently in cartoons from 1930 to 1932 and less frequently afterwards, taking her final classic-era bow in 1942.<ref name="Toonopedia">{{cite web|author=[[Don Markstein]]|url=http://home.cwnet.com/xephyr/rich/dzone/hoozoo/clarabelle.html|title=Disney HooZoo|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090126072255/http://home.cwnet.com/xephyr/rich/dzone/hoozoo/clarabelle.html|archive-date=2009-01-26|access-date=March 16, 2008}}</ref> As with most Disney characters, she was later given small cameos in the featurettes ''[[Mickey's Christmas Carol]]'' (1983) and ''[[The Prince and the Pauper (1990 film)|The Prince and the Pauper]]'' (1990) and the 1988 feature film ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]''.

Clarabelle mostly played bit-parts in the 30+ films in which she appeared and her character was never as fully developed as [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]], Minnie, Goofy, [[Donald Duck]] or [[Pluto (Disney)|Pluto]]. She and [[Horace Horsecollar]] changed from normal farmyard animals into [[anthropomorphized]] beings as necessary.

In modern animation, Clarabelle has returned to active use, appearing first in a few segments of ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'' and in a brief scene in ''[[Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas]]''. In ''[[House of Mouse]]'', she regularly turned up as a [[gossip columnist]] with the [[tagline]] "[[Gossip]] is Always True".

Clarabelle has also made appearances in the preschool series ''[[Mickey Mouse Clubhouse]]'' and is featured as Goofy's girlfriend (in which she owns a puppy named Bella) and in the direct-to-video movie ''[[Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers]]'' as [[Pete (Disney)|Pete's]] [[lieutenant]] and Goofy's love interest. She also appears in ''[[Mickey and the Roadster Racers]]'', where she displays attraction towards both Goofy and Horace.

[[File:1930-05-01 Mickey Mouse comic.jpg|left|thumb|400x400px|Clarabelle and [[Horace Horsecollar]] in a ''Mickey Mouse'' comic strip (May 5, 1930)]]
When the Disney characters started to feature in comic strips and comic books, Clarabelle Cow was one of the first. Her first appearance was in the [[Mickey Mouse (comic strip)|''Mickey Mouse'' comic strip]] for April 2, 1930.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gottfredson |first1=Floyd |title=Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse, vol 1: Race to Death Valley |date=2011 |publisher=Fantagraphics Books |location=Seattle, WA |isbn=9781606994412|page=21}}</ref> Along with Horace Horsecollar, [[Clara Cluck]], [[Goofy]], Minnie, and Mickey, she appeared in comics on a regular basis in the fifties, sixties and seventies.{{citation needed|date = November 2022}}

For a brief time, during the late 1960s, Clarabelle began dating Goofy. During this time, Horace's whereabouts are unknown. Clarabelle's status with Goofy was challenged by a rival named Glory-Bee.<ref>[http://users.cwnet.com/xephyr/rich/dzone/hoozoo/glorybee.html Glory-Bee] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150313131713/http://users.cwnet.com/xephyr/rich/dzone/hoozoo/glorybee.html |date=2015-03-13 }}.

From the eighties forward, only a few stories with Clarabelle Cow were made in the United States. In Europe, especially in Italy, the production of stories continued to the present day. In Italian comics, Clarabelle (called ''Clarabella'') is very popular and she is the girlfriend of Horace Horsecollar (''Orazio Cavezza'').{{citation needed|date = November 2022}}
