Product Details
This is a solid collection of vintage Mickey Mouse cartoons, presented virtually complete, for once, and not just as a cut-and-paste clips assortment. (Introductory material is cobbled together from old Mickey Mouse Club and Wonderful World of Disney broadcasts.) The program is fun to watch, but it's also a revealing historical pageant. In classic action-comedy items like "Mickey's Trailer" and "Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip," it is clear that the Disney Studio's faultless technique, even when dealing with elaborate props and frantic activity, is a tradition that was established early on. And in tales of interspecies conflict like "Lend a Paw" and "Mickey's Seal" (both involving pitched battles between Mickey's dog Pluto and cuddly interlopers in the Mouse household), we can see how that institutional polish blunts the edge of the comedy--in sharp contrast, for instance, to the rough and raucous Warner Brothers style. Purists will fume over some of the choices that were made here: no original release dates are given for the cartoons, the credit sequences are missing, and the colors have been digitally homogenized. But get real: this is mass-market shelf-filler packaged for the Disney Stores, and as such it's a cut above. --David Chute
Product Reviews
 (5 stars) - Vintage Mickey
This video is wonderful. It reminds me of my childhood. It is the real Mickey Mouse cartoons that we watched as kids. I was very satisfied with this product. My daughter(5) also loves this video.
(5 stars) - My family and I love this collection of Mickey Mouse and his pals!
This is a great collection of some of the best Mickey Mouse color cartoons. It starts off with "The Band Concert" which incidentally was Mickey's first cartoon in color as related by Minnie. It is very funny and is full of good music, both classical (William Tell Overture) and tin pan alley (Turkey in the Straw). "Thru the Mirror" is a fun-but-dated take-off on Lewis Carroll's classics "Through The Looking Glass" and "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". 1941's "Lend A Paw" won an Academy Award for Short Subject with its classic "Good Pluto"/"Bad Pluto" storyline. Next, Donald Duck stars in the "Orphan's Picnic" with scores of naughty little mice who are truly out for a good time. This is followed by "The Worm Turns" featuring a pre-Sorceror's Apprentice Mickey Mouse up to some familiar tricks, mixing a strength potion to be used only on the underdogs. "Mickey's Surprise Party" is a cute little vignette starring Mickey and Minnie, their respective pooches, and some cookies with bite. "Mickey and the Seal" features the ever-irascible Pluto and an adorable little seal pup. "Mickey's Trailer" stars the unbeatable trio of Mickey, Donald, and Goofy out on the open road for a very wild ride. "Canine Caddy" teams Pluto and Mickey with a goofy gopher for a not-so-relaxing round of golf. "Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip" again pits Mickey and Pluto against a pet-peeved train conductor in the form of Pegleg Pete and is the last color cartoon on the video. The collection closes with "Steamboat Willie", the first synchronized-sound cartoon ever made which showcases Mickey in his original impish glory.
Even though this is only available on VHS, I find that the picture and sound quality are quite good and that the variety of the selections and the intrinsic value of the cartoons themselves are well worth the price of purchase.
(5 stars) - Mickey starts again in comedy and a new suprise!
Once again Mickey Mouse shows us lots of the most popular Mickey Mouse cartoons of all time (Including a big suprise!) I'm not gonna tell you the cartoons but i really enjoy them. These cartoons are the funniest, jokers of all cartoons ("Ed, Ed, 'n' Eddy" is dumb, and not a good cartoon.) If you get this movie, get a couch, pop some popcorn, then get ready for the cartoon of your life!
(5 stars) - Wonderful Animated Fun
This is a wonderful example of Disney at its best. My two-year old and three-year old love this movie beginning to end. It is one of the videos I actually enjoying watching over and over again. I would recommend it for people age 1 to 99.
