El Sastresillo Valiente

First - for the seductive crafte, the care for details being one of the best points. Second - for atmosphere and humor. Not the last - for a great, great giant. So, just lovely.

This time Mickey is starring all on his own, with no back-up. And for a change he's actually got a good story instead of the usual 'disaster' plots. In this cartoon, he plays a tailor who, through a series of misunderstandings, is sent on a mission by the king to take out a giant who is about to pound on their village. Princess Minnie is his reward so obviously he's going to oblige no matter how impossible that mission may be.

Shock horror, there are actually some laughs and Mickey manages to hold our attention instead of making us drift away. The gimmicks and imagination are very good and the ending in which the villagers use the sleeping giant as a power source is very clever.

Definitely one of the best Mickey shorts.

This is one of the best (and well-known) Mickey cartoons of all time. And it's also another cartoon where Mickey goes against a giant, like in the 1933 short "Giantland" and "Mickey and the Beanstalk" for the 1947 film "Fun and Fancy Free." Also, this cartoon is one of my favourites. The short is inspired by the Grimm Brothers' story, with Mickey as the tailor who boasts of killing seven flies "with one blow!" Of course, everyone mistook the flies for seven giants, and they thought Mickey was a giant killer. The short film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Short Subject, but "Ferdinand the Bull" ultimately won the award.

I love the main title theme music. Also, I love the scene where everyone spreads the story of Mickey killing seven giants. The rumours eventually reach the monarch and his daughter, Princess Minnie.

Not my favourite, but up there. The animation is mostly excellent with beautiful colours and fluid backgrounds. The character designs aren't quite up there, but they are acceptable. The music has always been one of my favourite assets about these Silly Symphonies, and because it is so jaunty and energetic here Brave Little Tailor is no exception. The writing is funny with the parts with the giant amusing and I loved it when Minnie kisses Mickey and the story is charming. Mickey is a very cute and likable hero, and all the support characters make an impression while never bland. All in all, a great cartoon. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Watching this in the early 80's as a child I loved this short. And now in 2018 watching it again, I assumed it was at least made in the late 50's. Because of the quality and craftsmanship. Shocked and even more impressed now that I now it was created in the late 30's. Still holds up and should be on the shelf of any Disney or animation fan.
