Mickey's Trailer (1938)

Goofy, Mickey Mouse, and Donald Duck live in a mobile home. Goofy is the absent-minded driver.This is a classic Disney cartoon. The colors are bright. The characters are iconic. The animation is pure. It is simple fun at its best.

This is one of my favorite Disney cartoons, featuring stars Mickey, Donald and Goofy. Here, they are going on a camp-out in their hi-tech trailer. Goofy takes the driver's seat, Mickey is cooking in the kitchen and Donald is in bed, trying hard to wake up.This cartoon is filled with hilarious scenes that will send an audience laughing their hearts out, including parts where Mickey tries to wake Donald up, Goofy trying hard to get some food in his mouth while the trailer is rolling up and down on bumpy roads, and the part where Donald gets down on his knees and pray as their trailer came close to colliding with an incoming train. My favorite part is where the trailer tumbles down the hill, in a comedic way.Filled with laughter, adventure and some camp-time music, this cartoon short is surely a timeless classic for all ages to enjoy.Grade A

This is not a brilliant cartoon, but it is inventive. Mickey is seen leaving the door of his home, and it is on a brilliant morning, with a gorgeous view behind the house. And he pulls a switch, and the whole house and it's outer perimeter (complete with white picket fence) is mechanically collected and returned to the house, and the gorgeous view turns out to be a fan like device that folds into the back of what is actually a commodious trailer.With Goofy driving, Mickey is in the trailer's kitchen making breakfast. This includes collecting corn from stalks along the roadside (cut as the trailer passes the stalks), and even milking a cow that Goofy is feeding hay to as he drives. Donald gets out of bed (a little difficulty is involved in his arising from bed) and the bed is dropped into a wall, while a huge purse-like bag appears - which is Donald's bathtub with water.So it goes, with crazy inventions turning up. Then the defects of this travel method are shown thanks to Goofy, who first leaves the car still moving along a curvy mountain road, and then manages to disconnect the trailer from the car. The rest of the cartoon involves how the runaway trailer with Mickey and Donald keeps just avoiding disaster - especially by cartoon assistance in avoiding the law of gravity), and how it is reunited with Goofy's car at the end. The action never drops, and the crazy advanced luxury items of that trailer makes the cartoon enjoyable enough - even if it is not a great Disney cartoon. It's a good example of his later color cartoon work, but nothing particularly special.
