A commercial pitch in a cartoon short.

So, this cartoon short was shorter than usual, running at just over five minutes. Turns out it is a commercial pitch for the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) at the 1939 World's Fair. It shows Minnie trying to surprise Mickey by baking cookies that his mother used to make. But, Minnie's dog Fifi accidentally knocks a box of kernel onto the cookie mix and Minnie unknowingly puts that entire batch in the oven. After Mickey and Pluto shows up, the cookies burn and pops around like popcorn, leaving Minnie and Fifi in grief. To lighten things up, Mickey goes to the store and returns with boxes of Nabisco snacks.

It's a pretty nice commercial pitch, but the cartoon itself wasn't very funny or entertaining and it was pretty non-substantive. Not much of a story here, and the characters were pretty bland.

A commercial short with our favourite mice.

Despite the fact, it is just a commercial short, this is a sweet and very enjoyable one at that. The animation was great, perhaps not quite as good in quality as some of the Silly Symphonies. I had no problem at all with the music either.

Mickey and Minnie are easily the stars of the short, and it was lovely to hear Mickey being voiced by Walt Disney himself. You do feel sorry for Minnie, when she starts crying about the burning cake. Pluto also appears, and he has a very pretty lady friend this time. He isn't the main focus, but he is funny when you see him.

All in all, well meaning and very sweet. 9/10 Bethany Cox
