I love this movie so much

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

One of the earliest Mickey and Minnie cartoons, about Mickey trying to save Minnie from a mean cat who stole her after they two mice were doing the tango. The tango was the most funniest part in the cartoon short, with their eyes furiously gazing at each other. The rest of the story is just the usual rescue-the-damsel-in-distress plot, not much to laugh about. Grade C

After watching Mickey Mouse make his debut,I was very pleased to stumble upon Mickey's second movie,which led to me getting ready to see the Gaucho gallop.The plot:Visiting Mexico,Mickey decides to stop for a drink at a Cantina. Entering the Cantina,Mickey catches a glimpse of Minnie.Both being taken by the others appearance,Mickey and Minnie start to dance and party in the Cantina.Just as they start to get into the groove of things,Minnie suddenly gets kidnapped.View on the film:Cutting down on the visual comedy,director/animator Ub Iwerks focusing on the changing emotions running across the faces,which leads to a tango between Mickey & Minnie being rather stylish.Whilst he does tone down on the slap-stick,Iwerks strikes Mickey with a surprisingly tough bite,as Mickey drinks and smokes his way around the Cantina.

This is a very early Mickey Mouse short done by Disney. There will be spoilers ahead:This is Mickey Mouse version 1.0-our hero sports a serape, has a "Wanted" poster of him on the wall of a cantina, drinks beer and rides an ostrich. Mickey is a bit of a rogue here, not the affable "nice guy" he later became.Mickey and Minnie do a very intense dance together before an early variation on Pegleg Pete (with two legs) grabs Minnie and skedaddles on his horse. Mickey gives chase on his now drunken ostrich.As is typical of most Ub Iwerks-helmed shorts the animation here is excellent. This one has fairly good gags and an interesting chase sequence.After fighting Pete, Mickey emerges triumphant and they go riding off together, with the final visuals in the last gag being very nice.This short was released on the Mickey Mouse in Black and White Disney Treasures DVD set and it's well worth seeking out. Recommended.

A Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.THE GALLOPIN' GAUCHO must speed to rescue cantina dancer Minnie from the foul clutches of Pete, the outlaw cat.This ancient black & white film was only the second Mickey Mouse cartoon released with synchronized sound. It's fun watching The Mouse doing a Douglas Fairbanks spoof - using his tail the way Doug did his bullwhip in THE GAUCHO (1927). Is Mickey's faithful Argentinean mount an ostrich or a rhea? The Disney animators were already making full use of underwear & posterior jokes. Pete still has both legs in this one.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 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, Bambi, Peter Pan and Mr. Toad. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
