Trivia

Goofs
Unbeknownst to him, Mickey standing on to polishing the '3' numerical on clock's front area by broom at outside, as there's no wooden Swing board with ropes attached on the top of '3' structure shown above, Mickey turns and glimpsing so horrified at Goofy who is walking on the loose rope, far away from Mickey, as the end of rope is about to free from the clamped roller. Next cut, Mickey then immediately takes action to grab the first appearance of the Swing and ropes in the same scene, and throw it to Goofy.

Mickey and his friends against the clock

Mickey, Donald and Goofy share the stage in what is one of the most memorable short films of this trio. It is a classic animated comedy of the time in which the three characters must clean a clock in what seems like something inspired by Charles Chaplin's Safty Last. One of the things that can be remembered most from this short film is Donald dealing with a metal band that seems to emit words through sounds. This is a clear reminder of how fantastic the use of sound effects can be in the world of animation. Without the need to argue much, Clock Cleaners is another of Disney's small works of art in its golden age. My final rating for this short film is an 8/10.
