Warning: there is animal cruelty

This may be the first film from Walt Disney, but it is all a bit weird: yes I know it was a different world back then so I am not being woke, I am just simply saying it is all a bit weird. We have these characters in this project at one point or another Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Peg-Leg Pete and Parrot [all voiced by Walt Disney] and other characters [other animals] on this steamboat and the pacing for this roughly 7 minute film is there is always something happening so from a foundation level it knows what it is doing and it sticks to plan.

But I digress; slightly later on in this film, because this goat had ate Minnie Mouse's violin and music book Mickey Mouse comes up with the idea to play it like a an old record player [the ones that you needed to turn the handle to make it play] which Minnie does after Mickey shaped him out so Minnie can make this goat tale go round and round consequently these musical notes will come out of its mouth, whilst Mickey  goes around using other things and animals to make music out of.

Yes this project is black-and-white and likewise a little bit weird for an example Mickey's torso get stretched out by Peg-Leg Pete it is very similar to Play-Doh, so Mickey just gathers it up and put it back in his shorts thus pulling himself back together again.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good: I mean generally speaking this mark is a fair outcome in my opinion, I like to the black-and-white, but the animation is good, easy to settle down with if just a little bit weird and this project has an award winner credit to its name; National Film Preservation Board, USA 1998; National Film Registry.
