I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This is a hilarious cartoon where Mickey and Donald (a very early version of Donald) team up to rescue Fifi from dognapper Pegleg Pete. From dodging runaway seesaws to fighting gunfire, this cartoon is chock full of classic slapstick humor and silly action.Clarence Nash voices both Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse in this short and did a good job, matching his Mickey voice like Walt Disney's.The quality of the animation is great and holds up well throughout its time, even though it's an 80+ year-old black and white cartoon short! Great fun here! Grade A

This is a black and white Mickey Mouse cartoon produced by the Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:Mickey and Donald are police officers, Pegleg Pete is a dognapper who has taken a yapping ball of fur named Fifi. Mickey and Donald aren't exactly the best police in the world and their chase of Pete is filled with excellently animated bouts of cowardice and ineptitude on the part of our heroes, particularly Donald (actually proto-Donald, as the character design is markedly different from the Donald most people are familiar with).Most of the short is spent in a sawmill and a big chunk of it is spent with tables being turned and the advantage switching from Mickey back to Pete, generally because Donald does something that helps out Pete. What finally settles things is a circular saw-blade which comes free and chases down Pete. Some of the best gags and animation come along in this section, as the saw-blade seems to go after Pete like he stole its wallet.Mickey and Donald take advantage of Pete's plight and truss him up. The last scene is rather funny, This short is available on the Disney Treasures Mickey Mouse In Black and White, Volume One and it and the set are worth finding. Recommended.

This early black and white Disney cartoon has Mickey and Donald as motorcycle cops who hear that Minnie Mouse's Pekingese dog Fifi was stolen by Peg Leg Pete. He speeds past their transit trap and they give chase. He shoots at them, and Donald tries to protect himself with an umbrella which is shot to pieces. Pete also rips the planks off a bridge, but the motorcycle and side car spread apart on the bridges' girders and ride up and down like on a roller coaster. They follow him to a deserted saw mill, and he fights with them after chaining Fifi down.Disney's cartoons have attractions such as his sight gags and a sense of goofiness (no pun intended). Here the goofiness is in the latter part of the confrontation when Pete turns on a large buzz saw to kill Mickey and Donald. This backfires when the buzz saw gets loose and starts chasing Pete, turning everything (including his peg leg) against him.Not the greatest of Disney's cartoons (one misses the non-involvement of Minnie - she is shown in a newspaper photo but never in the confrontation, as a possible hostage for Peg Leg Pete's use), but the fun of the cartoon is good and promised better results later on.

A Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.Minnie's Fifi has been stolen and Patrolmen Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck track THE DOGNAPPER - Peg Leg Pete - to his hideout in an old, derelict sawmill.This is a very enjoyable black & white cartoon, with plenty of action & excitement. In only his third film Donald is already stealing scenes from the Mouse. Walt Disney supplies the voice for Mickey; Clarence "Ducky" Nash does the quacking for the Duck.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, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. 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.
