I love Disney, their films, Silly Symphonies and shows. Mickey's Trailer is for me one of their all-time greats. It has a clever opening sequence, and the ending is wonderfully ironic. The animation is excellent, the characters are drawn well, the backgrounds are solid and the colours are vibrant and still look beautiful, while the music is that of true energy. The dialogue amuses, but the sight gags and gadgets are what drive the cartoon, the sight gags are hilarious and clever and the gadgets are well-incorporated. The characters are their engaging and likable selves, Mickey is charming, Goofy is clumsy yet lovable and Donald is wonderfully cantankerous. The voice acting from Walt Disney, Pinto Colvig and Clarence Nash is wonderful too. All in all, brilliant and in my eyes a classic. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Just watched this Walt Disney/Mickey Mouse cartoon on YouTube as linked from the Federator blog. In this one, Mickey-along with Goofy and Donald Duck-inhabit a trailer which can literally become a house in a beautiful setting as evidenced by the beginning scene when it's revealed to actually occupy a city dump! As the trailer moves, the Mouse gets corn and milk from outside (and without permission, I must say!), while sleepy Donald has his room transform from a bedroom to a bathroom to a table as he, Mickey, and Goofy-who leaves his attached moving car going to the table-eat to their heart's content. Then the Goof realizes no one's driving...This mostly amusing Disney animated short takes its own sweet time in presenting the various gags and thrills that makes this so entertaining and the characters so lovable in how they react. Mickey's Trailer is well worth seeing for animation buffs of Walt Disney.

This is not a brilliant cartoon, but it is inventive. Mickey is seen leaving the door of his home, and it is on a brilliant morning, with a gorgeous view behind the house. And he pulls a switch, and the whole house and it's outer perimeter (complete with white picket fence) is mechanically collected and returned to the house, and the gorgeous view turns out to be a fan like device that folds into the back of what is actually a commodious trailer.With Goofy driving, Mickey is in the trailer's kitchen making breakfast. This includes collecting corn from stalks along the roadside (cut as the trailer passes the stalks), and even milking a cow that Goofy is feeding hay to as he drives. Donald gets out of bed (a little difficulty is involved in his arising from bed) and the bed is dropped into a wall, while a huge purse-like bag appears - which is Donald's bathtub with water.So it goes, with crazy inventions turning up. Then the defects of this travel method are shown thanks to Goofy, who first leaves the car still moving along a curvy mountain road, and then manages to disconnect the trailer from the car. The rest of the cartoon involves how the runaway trailer with Mickey and Donald keeps just avoiding disaster - especially by cartoon assistance in avoiding the law of gravity), and how it is reunited with Goofy's car at the end. The action never drops, and the crazy advanced luxury items of that trailer makes the cartoon enjoyable enough - even if it is not a great Disney cartoon. It's a good example of his later color cartoon work, but nothing particularly special.

I had a video with a few old Disney cartoons back when I was ten or so, and haven't watched it in about 10 years. I happened to be watching my nephew today, when I decided to pop it in again. And to my surprise, I was still entertained.The best on this tape was a toon from '38 called "Mickey's Trailer." An incredible short, with loads of amazing sight gags...the house revealing itself to be just a trailer by the dump, Goofy getting the short end of the stick via some disagreeable drawers, and probably best of all, a near-miss with a train--TWICE!It is so hard to believe this was made over 60 years ago. Somehow the animators back then had a knack for making their works timeless. Hopefully, kids will be watching this short for another 60 years.
