GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
trooper5783 When I first heard there would be a new Mickey cartoon, I was extremely hyped up and what really got me into it was the fact that it would feature Uncle Walt's archival recordings as Mickey Mouse, and it would mix hand-drawn animation with CGI. When I finally saw it, I was very pleased with the outcome. The comedy is genuine with the imaginative slapstick we loved in the classic Mickey shorts, no gross-out gags whatsoever. It even includes a few pop culture visual jokes like the Apple ringtone and Horace's Captain America T- shirt(usually, it would ruin animated adaptations of the beloved classics *AHEM* The Lorax, but here it worked cleverly). The visuals are also groundbreaking, it is fantastic what they do with combining two different animation mediums. Overall, Get A Horse! was an adorable, hilarious, and faithful short that celebrates the history of the mouse we all know and love in so many inventive ways possible.
lisafordeay I seen this in the cinemas before Frozen(Disney's highest grossing animated movie of all time btw) was shown and its also on the DVD as well so if you wanna see it be sure and check it out.The short is about Mickey and the gang who are in black and white in a cinema room and Pete is after Mickey. Of course the short then gets turned into CGI form and switches from CGI to Black & White once Pete is after Mickey's friends and they too end up in CGI form as well. Bottom line this was a brilliant short as it has the man himself Walt Disney as the voice of Mickey Mouse and all the old school actors as the other charcthers. What I like about this is like I said the blend of Black & White and CGI animation thrown into the mix. The humor was great,the concept was great overall I really enjoyed this short.7/10
bob the moo I am very much in support of short films getting into cinemas, even if it mostly occurs either as part of festivals, or as large studio projects which accompany a main feature film; so it is cheering how many people would have seen this short film ahead of the film Frozen – albeit as they would have seen it as a free cartoon rather than having their eyes opened to the world of short film as a form. Anyway, this short opens in the frame size and animation style of the 1930's cartoons, with a simple scene of Mickey and Minnie Mouse heading out on their wagon, only for the "wave of the future" to come up behind them in the form of Peg-Leg Pete in his motor car, and start to make trouble.Watching this short without any knowledge of what it does is quite a lovely experience, because just as you start to accept the rather small square image in the middle of this larger screen, suddenly the 4th wall gets broken and we have action occurring within the theatre itself as well as back inside the 1930's cartoon. It is cleverly done so that the animation transitions between modern CGI style, and black & white drawings, as the characters move between the sides of the screen. I also enjoyed the way the screen itself moved and was affected by the action – I really am not interested in watching films in 3D, but it would have been fun to see what this played like if you were not expecting it.The action itself is a good lot of slapstick and, while I wasn't roaring with laughter throughout, I found it consistently amusing and fun, which is all I was really looking for. Perhaps understandably it won the Best Animated Short and, as much as I prefer that the big players do not dominate these smaller categories, I don't begrudge Get a Horse! because it is cleverly done, and delivered with a lot of energy and cheer.
Stompgal_87 I watched this short for the first time today when it was included as a bonus feature on my 'Frozen' DVD. At first it looked like an old black and white cartoon (reminiscent of 'Steamboat Willie') that barely filled my screen but when Pete throws Mickey and Minnie out of the screen in another world, it became more colourful and filled my screen.The use of hybrid animation here is the asset that surprised me the most. While the black and white animation was smooth with a classical look, the CGI animation looked cheap for Disney but was bright and colourful. I liked how the antics of the characters combined with those in the audience, such as a lady's nachos being knocked over and Mickey answering an iPhone. It was funny when Mickey and other characters spun the screen around to replay Pete getting electrocuted and falling onto a gardening tool etc and also when Pete chased the characters around the screen and the cinema, thus causing their animation styles to alter.All in all this is a funny cartoon with a decent use of hybridity albeit its cheap-looking CGI. 8/10.
