La remorque de Mickey

1938 had brought about everyone's favorite Disney color short, "Mickey's Trailer." Now, I won't spoil the story for you, kids, but at least I can say that...it has Mickey Mouse in it and.....he's got a car...with a trailer!!!!!

5 things I liked the best about this short:

1. It's original!!!!! I can't think of any other cartoon short series out there that had crazy trailer driving!

2. It's animated!!!!! Mickey and his friends all are here in this short, having fun!

3. It's Disney!!!!! Ditto!

4. It's short!!!!! A great way to laugh and smile in just 7 to 10 minutes!!!!!

5. It's a classic!!!!!

Yep, they have convinced me to like "Mickey's Trailer" very, very much!

10/10

This is one of my favorite Disney cartoons, featuring stars Mickey, Donald and Goofy. Here, they are going on a camp-out in their hi-tech trailer. Goofy takes the driver's seat, Mickey is cooking in the kitchen and Donald is in bed, trying hard to wake up.

This cartoon is filled with hilarious scenes that will send an audience laughing their hearts out, including parts where Mickey tries to wake Donald up, Goofy trying hard to get some food in his mouth while the trailer is rolling up and down on bumpy roads, and the part where Donald gets down on his knees and pray as their trailer came close to colliding with an incoming train. My favorite part is where the trailer tumbles down the hill, in a comedic way.

Filled with laughter, adventure and some camp-time music, this cartoon short is surely a timeless classic for all ages to enjoy.

Grade A

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

A Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.

With Goofy at the wheel, a vacation spent in MICKEY'S TRAILER soon turns into a road trip to terror for The Mouse & Donald Duck.

Here is one of the classic Disney cartoons, full of good humor, keen inventiveness & some genuine hair-raising thrills. The animation is excellent, giving each member of the trio a chance to shine. The animators took obvious delight in showing the trailer's various gizmos & gadgets, all compacted into a very small space. The opening sequence is very clever, with a tiny cottage and its bucolic setting being transmogrified by Mickey into a jalopy, trailer and stinking city dump.

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 will always pay off.

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.
