Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Hitchcoc I have to agree with the reviewer who came to realize that Mickey's rather docile character is lacking in charisma. So while this cartoon features his face and name, the bulk of the episode focuses more on his friends. Minnie is more interesting. Donald is more interesting. Pluto and Goofy are the main focus of this episode when you get right down to it. Considering how early in the animation game 1937 is, this feature is quite beautifully drawn and presented. The color and the sophistication of the animation works incredibly well. Pluto's encounter with a crab is very engaging.

Foreverisacastironmess This is one of those sweet and very special older Disney animated shorts that's very memorable and gives a lovely warm feeling of nostalgia while you're watching it, at least that is what I get from it. It has such a nice fun-in-the-sun vibe to it, and the gorgeous animation is so lovingly well detailed and everything moves so fluidly, it's a beautifully bright short. The sight gags are all quite funny and charming, such as Pluto chasing the cartwheeling starfish that looks like a tiny elephant for a moment as it runs away, and when he and the crab are mirroring each other's scuttle, and it makes me laugh when the tough crab tips up the top half of its shell like a bowler hat! Also there is when Mickey is playing the ukulele with his gloved hands looking like dancing figures very similar to the dancing gloves from "Thru the Mirror." Goofy gets most of the action while trying to hang ten with the rather uncooperative ocean waves which tease him and avoid his ironing-board like surfboard and eventually hurl the hillbilly dog and his board all the way back onto land which creates a rather macabre sight gag of him being buried in the sand with the board looking just like his tombstone! The jokes are so excellently in time to the music but it doesn't feel like that's all the short is about, like with some of the earliest Silly Symphonies. I love Mickey's adorable black dot eyes and the funny old timey bathing suit that Goofy wears. It's a sweet animation that's all about the humour and fun, just a good old fashioned solid cartoon short of pure joy, they surely don't make them like this anymore. "Until we meet again!"

TheLittleSongbird There is not really a story to speak of in Hawaiian Holiday, but I did find it interesting to see Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Pluto all in the same cartoon. And it is a great one. Hawaiian Holiday is vividly animated with the backgrounds well and truly luscious and the character designs all well drawn, even if Mickey's character design is not as rounded as it would be later. The music is energetic and sounds lovely throughout, while all the characters are engaging and the gags range from amusing to hilarious. Minnie doesn't have all that much to do, other than set the musical tone of Hawaiian Holiday, but she actually does that very well. Mickey is a likable character and has a good gag as a guitar player where his hands dance across the strings, but like Minnie he doesn't have much to do. Donald's main gag is very quick but is still one of Hawaiian Holiday's funniest moments, where the grass skirt he is wearing catches on fire. Pluto and Goofy are the ones actually who get a lion's share of the comedy. Pluto's cuteness and energy and his ability to resonate so much with the audience without saying a word is put to great use, and his encounters with the shellfish and the crab are very funny. If I were to say who was the funniest character of the five and who had the funniest moments, it would be Goofy on all counts. His attempts to surf are like a hilarious pre-view to what he would become chiefly famous for later, and it also shows what Goofy was best at, finding that something that is obvious to us is not so much for him. Overall, colourful fun with the Disney gang. 8.5/10 Bethany Cox

boblipton An amusing cartoon that points up the major flaw with Mickey: he's just not very interesting. He's talented, graceful and so forth, but too much in control of any situation and lacks anything like an amusing character. The Disney solution was to give him a strong supporting cast, including Donald Duck, Goofy and Pluto -- with his girlfriend, Minnie, in a grass skirt, dancing the hula. But in the following couple of years, the three supporting characters would each be given his own series of starring shorts, and Mickey would find himself largely out of a job, eventually turned into a corporate icon.In the meantime, take a look at this one.
