That was an excellent one.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This is one of those collections of acts. The barnyard has become a showplace and Mickey is in charge. There are several acts involving the animals. None of them is spectacular. However, Mickey does a command performance in the second half. He sings, dances, and generally displays his talents. He also sings his theme song which we will hear off and on throughout history.

This is an average little musical, with a bunch of barnyard animals singing and playing on instruments. There's really no plot to the cartoon, just plenty of songs and dances. The highlight of the cartoon is when Mickey sings the classic Disney song, Minnie's Yoo Hoo. Grade C+

This is an early Disney Mickey Mouse short. There will be spoilers ahead:Mickey is putting on a musical revue (hence the short's title) and it features various acts in addition to our hero, most notably a female pig who "sings" opera and has trouble keeping her clothes on.The animation is by Ub Iwerks and is, as usual, excellent. The gags are typical for a short from the late 1920s. The required outhouse is here, various underwear jokes and so on.Mickey serenades the audience with a song for Minnie, who is watching from a box (literally). The voice isn't Walt's voice and it isn't the voice we typically associate with Mickey, but it's a reasonably good early effort. The studio still hasn't quite found "the sweet spot", but the Flieschers are really the only studio ahead of them at this point.This short is on the Mickey Mouse In Black and White Disney Treasures DVD set and is well worth seeking out.

A Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.MICKEY'S FOLLIES take place in the barnyard, with Mickey at the piano and the eager participation of many of the farm animals.Very little plot in this early black & white film. The Mouse gets to sing his theme song - "Minnie's Yoo Hoo!" - but not with Walt's voice. That looks like Clarabelle Cow as one of the spectators. Disney's animators have included a full quota of the udder-posterior-underwear gags they loved so well.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.
