Alicia I love this movie so much

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

OllieSuave-007 This is rather an uneventful Mickey and Pluto cartoon, where Mickey uses a boomerang to pick up bananas. Pluto doesn't get along with the boomerang and tries to fend it off - in his ever-so-annoying loud bark. Meanwhile, Mickey has found an ostrich egg and wants to take it, but the ostrich sees this and attempts to chase Mickey off.The funniest part of the cartoon is when the boomerang gets stuck in Pluto's mouth, with some funny sound effects. There was some action where the ostrich chases Mickey around, but overall, it's not a very fun cartoon - rather predictable with limited laughs and excitement.Grade D+

TheLittleSongbird Don't get me wrong, I love these Disney cartoons they were part of my childhood, but this is one of my least favourites. There are a few funny moments, such as when Pluto gets the boomerang lodged in his mouth, the music is excellent and the voice acting from Pinto Colvig and James McDonald was well done. However, the cartoon gets stuck by being too routine and predictable, there are a few funny parts but the rest is only mildly amusing. While there is some vibrant colouring with the Australian rain forest, some of the character animation looked somewhat awkward. I also want to say I loved this cartoon when I was little, but watching from a 17 year old perspective, it has lost its magic. Overall, it is watchable, but I for one was disappointed being an avid Disney fan. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Ref 65 This Mickey Mouse short starts off with Mickey and Pluto walking through the jungle with a boomerang and Pluto thinks it is some kind of thing wanting to attack him and Mickey.I am a fan of Mickey Mouse but this is a very disappointing short in my opinion.This just shows Mickey trying to calm Pluto down and the boomerang gets stuck in Pluto's mouth and Mickey is trying to steal an ostrich egg.Mostly I laugh through these shorts and would love to watch them again but this put me off in watching it again but a few funny parts made me give it 5.This has aged well but it lost its magic and normally these shorts don't.This is watchable but not great.

Ron Oliver A Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.In an Australian rain forest, Mickey & Pluto encounter much trouble with a brutal boomerang and an enraged ostrich.MICKEY DOWN UNDER has some humorous moments - especially when Pluto gets the boomerang lodged in his mouth - but basically the cartoon is quite routine. Disney had covered this kind of material many times before.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew comic figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
