CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

bfeldsch This is a very touching cartoon and it was made during the depths of the Depression. The ending scene saves the cartoon but still leaves you with a tear in your eye.

MartinHafer When this Mickey Mouse cartoon began, I was absolutely blown away by the backgrounds and the animation. The snow scene was positively gorgeous, even if it was in black & white. The care and detail given to this was quite impressive. As for the story, it's a bit thick and schmaltzy. Depending on your tolerance for such stuff will strongly impact your enjoyment of "Mickey's Good Deed".The short begins with Mickey and Pluto out in the snow serenading folks in order to earn some money for Christmas. But, Mickey's musical instrument gets broken and they both are starving. Mickey also knows of a woman with 10 kids who must do without this Christmas. So, in desperation, Mickey sells Pluto(!!) to a rich guy whose brat wants Pluto. The Christmas is a success for the family but Mickey is heartbroken. Eventually, though, the brat tires of Pluto and he runs away--right into the arms of Mickey.Hmmm...now that I type this out, it really DOES sound really syrupy. Still, it's quite entertaining and well made.

Mightyzebra For many, this will be an unhappy short, as it has "cruel" slapstick and Mickey Mouse and Pluto are often sad. Other people will find it funny because they will like slapstick. Some people will love it because it is beautiful and emotional.In this Mickey is trying to earn money at Christmastime with some music, with Pluto as (probably) his only companion. Meanwhile, a spoilt and horrible toddler spots Pluto out the window and declares, "I WANT DOGGY!" Later (when poor Mickey's instrument is broken) he sees a poor family with no Christmas merriment and Mickey is determined to do something...This short is emotional, beautiful, sad, well-animated, well-plotted and exciting in places. Good for any Mickey Mouse fan and good for people who are not too upset by sad and emotional things. If you are particularly a despiser of upsetting slapstick (especially with the lovely Mickey Mouse), this is not the thing for you. Otherwise, you will (almost definitely) enjoy the lovely "Mickey's Good Deed" for this coming Christmas day!

Ron Oliver A Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.MICKEY'S GOOD DEED on Christmas consists of selling his old pal Pluto to a wealthy family and using the money to provide a family of impoverished kittens with a joyous Holiday.This charming little film is a real Yuletide treat. Pay attention to the details which make it special. Notice the photo on the wall which shows that Pegleg Pete is the father of the diminutive felines. That's Jimmy Durante being spoofed by the jack-in-the-box in the mantle stocking. Walt Disney supplies Mickey with his squeaky speaking voice.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 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 simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
