On Ice (1935)

Без Юрия и иммигрантов. It’s an animated short film, that is just an anthology. And it’s not really tied together, Mickey & Minnie, Goofy, and Dolan & Pluto segments are barely related, with the only unifying theme being ice skating. Or not. Mickey shows off, Minnie struggles, Dolan is being an arse again and tortures […]

Mickey’s Garden

Oh, hey, it’s Pluto. I haven’t seen Pluto probably in decades. And it had its own cartoons, that were on TV a lot. Kids these days never experienced it, but bugs eating your crops in the summer leaving only literally cartoony stems is\was a big problem. Though the animators didn’t experience it either. Because when […]

The Band Concert (1935)

It’s a 1935 animated short film in full colour, but it also kinda a bridge between the late 20s and late 30s animation. It is in the genre of license free old music being played over animation with cycled slap-stick jokes. The main characters are Donald and Mickey. But if you know you know that […]

Mickey’s Trailer

This animated short is considered to be the 100th entry into Mickey‘s filmography. It is making fun of the modern times, which is a genre i like. Not for the possible cuckservocuck juvenoia sentiment, but because the authors usually try to create some crazy kooky and all-together ooky contraptions, which look like sci-fi even today. […]

The Whalers (1938)

It’s an animated short film where Mickey, Goofy, and Donald go and try to kill a whale for no reason. (This is released in 1938.) And it’s not even a killer whale, it’s a sperm whale upper on a humpback whale receiver. There’s no plot or story just some pretty mundane slap-stick.

Brave Little Tailor (1938)

Today is Disney‘s take on Das tapfere Schneiderlein. And of course his idea is putting the branding first replacing, the actual characters of the tale with his marketable brands. Mickey is the tailor, the only mouse living in a dog town. Minnie is a mouse princess of a dog king. And the giant is humanoid. […]

Steamboat Willie

So i have never actually seen this before. Or at least i don’t remember ever seeing it. And well it’s a short cartoon with some morbid animal abuse, creep scenes and a general lack of a plot. But at least it is a ye olde cartoon, when cartoons still could be cartoony and not all […]

Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers

An animated musical slapstick comedy children film inspired by musketeer world created by Dumas. It uses old classic tunes for the musical score, but slaps poorly-fit plot-related lyrics on top of them. This movie was made in 2000s, but every gag is copied straight out of classic Mickey cartoons and therefore is familiar and predictable. […]

Fantasia 2000 (1999)

They did the most important thing they could — they kicked out the conférencier and used a bunch of comedians instead. While they are really unfunny, they at least don’t ruin the animated segments themselves. While the first segment is again rather abstract, it is actually visually captivating with high contrast. The second one is […]

Fantasia (1940/1990)

A kind of art-housy anthology of animated short films with no particular theme, which is utterly ruined by the conférencier coming out and yapping for prolonged times, describing in the minute details what you are about to see and what you must feel about that. Toccata and Fugue in D Minor Is a head on […]
