Los Locos del Golf

Although I'm usually a Donald Duck fan, I loved this cartoon. I've seen that cartoon about 50 times! Pluto was my favorite in it, But... Mickey was also cool. I rate it 10/10.

"What a swell day for a game of golf," proclaims Mickey as he and his caddy "Goofy" set out to enjoy a round. In the end, his caddy demolishes the golf course by chasing a gopher around and around. the 18-hol course.

In between are some funny scenes with Goofy "pointing" to the ball, having the ball land on his butt and Mickey knocking it off and a few other things.

Too much of this animated short involves chasing the gopher and overall, it's just a "fair" cartoon. It just have stuck more with the golf story.

This is a very funny cartoon. I think my favorite part is when Mickey's golf ball gets into a sand trap and when he swings it, the sand goes onto Pluto and he starts to look like the Egyptian Spynx. I saw this down in Walt Disney World.

A Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.

Pluto acts as CANINE CADDY for Mickey's golf game - with predictable results.

Good animation is the highlight of this otherwise unremarkable little film. The Pup has far more screen time than The Mouse, especially after the arrival of the requisite tiny critter - in this instance a gopher - into the plot to plague Pluto.

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, Bambi, Peter Pan and Mr. Toad. 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.

This is another adorable cartoon short from Walt Disney, featuring Mickey Mouse golfing with pluto.

I like how Pluto makes his mark where he points to where the golf ball lands each time after Mickey swipes it, delivering another classic reaction of these cartoons.

Caught in the game is a gopher, which Pluto gives chase to. What results is a hilarious cat and mouse game, where Pluto chases the rodent all over the golf course, while Mickey struggles to score.

It is an entertaining cartoon that would sure delight an audience of all ages, as do most cartoon shorts from Walt Disney.

I first saw this short on an episode of the Wonderful World of Color. It's still timeless.
