A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

"Alpine Climbers" is a movie from before World War II that has its 80th anniversary this year. It is a Walt Disney cartoon that runs slightly under 10 minutes and features Donald, Micky and Pluto on a tour in the mountains. Unluckily for them, and lucky for us, the run into all kinds of different animals and complete chaos ensues quickly. The one downside here is that our trio does not have as much screen time together as I hoped they would. But this does only momentarily take away from the fun. Lots of hilarity in here and at the end we even have two drunk dogs and hands down, the animation is absolutely outstanding for its time. Many filmmakers from the 1960s and 1970s could only have dreamed of that level. I certainly recommend the watch.

This is one of the funnier cartoons from Disney, featuring Mickey, Donald and Pluto. They go mountain climbing in the Swiss Alps and find themselves dealing with a batch of misadventures: Mickey attempts to himself with some eagle eggs but meets up with an angry mother eagle instead; Donald has run-ins with a baby goat and his adult parent; and Pluto gets some buzzed fun with a St. Bernard.Donald gets edelweiss eaten by a mischievous little goat, but Mickey got his fair share of bad luck when a mother eagle and her just-batch eaglets storm around him. Pluto also gets plastered after a St. Bernard nurses him after his run-in with an annoying baby eagle. It's all tastefully done comedy that I've found myself laughing out loud a few times. Mickey and Donald belching out Swiss tunes at the beginning of the short was hilarious.My favorite scene is when Donald gets a rare last laugh of his own, when he gives a ramming goat a taste of his own medicine. Love this cartoon - one of the better ones! Grade A

The typical chaos that follows Mickey and Donald everywhere provide most of the laughs in this cartoon. They're climbing the Alps and literally dragging Pluto behind them. Donald decides to mad at a little mountain goat for some reason, Mickey attempts the ridiculously evil crime of stealing an eagles eggs and Pluto ends up freezing and being rescued by one of those mountain dwelling St. Bernards with the barrel of booze (do these really exist btw?).It's 10 minutes of putting the characters through as much aggravation as possible withing their environment. A lot of Mickey/Donald cartoons are like this and this one is nothing special.

I own all of the four films with Silly Symphonies and Micky Mouse. I found many of the short films to be masterpieces. They are all so very well-done and funny.This one is about Mickey,Donald and Pluto that is going to go out and climb a mountain. It's a hilarious little film with many funny things in it.
