I don't know about anybody else but this is one of my favourite Mickey Mouse cartoons. And it is not just because Mickey, Goofy and Donald, who delight in everything they are in are together. Speaking of this trio, they are wonderful, they still have their warm personalities and all are funny. They are further advantaged by some fun voice work from Walt Disney, Pinto Colvig, Clarence Nash and Evia Allman.The story is also a lot of fun, the cartoon is quite short but it is never dull and goes at a cracking pace. The animation is excellent too, very vibrant in the backgrounds and the characters move convincingly. Also technically, Mickey's Fire Brigade is very impressive. The music is rousing and energetic.Where Mickey's Fire Brigade really works is in its humour. For me, this is one of the funniest Mickey-Donald-Goofy cartoons, I couldn't count the number of times I was laughing so much, so much so my sides got sore quite quickly. The writing brought a smile to my face, while the sight gags such as Mickey's fight with the water hose, Donald's battle with flames and Goofy being incinerated in the fire truck furnace(bizarre but it still worked) are well and truly spectacular.So all in all, technically polished and hilarious in its humour, Mickey's Fire Brigade is a definite winner. 10/10 Bethany Cox
... View MoreI love the 1920s and 30s Mickey Mouse cartoons. Compared to the films of rival studios, they were head and shoulders over them all thanks to great quality animation, a wonderful sense of humor and nice characters. This one stars the wonderful trio of Mickey, Donald and Goofy and is in glorious Technicolor.It begins with the three working as firemen. They respond to a fire with rather predictable results--though the weird scenes with an unusually dumb Clarabelle Cow are pretty strange. Despite the fire all around her, Clarabelle insists on taking her bath--and fights all attempts by these do-gooders to help. Again and again, she beats the snot out of the three heroes but they do not relent--they are determined to save this dopey bovine.High quality throughout and quite entertaining. This is not the best film the trio made, but is still quite good and worth seeing--and, more importantly, the film has withstood the test of time. Try watching some of the incredibly insipid and saccharine films of rival studios of 1935--you'll no doubt see what I'm talking about when it comes to the outstanding quality of this Disney film.
... View MoreMickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy are firemen. A house is in fire and instead of fighting the fire the fire is fighting them. This Disney short is packed with a lot of action. It is funny sometimes, especially the little sequences with Goofy. Enjoyable.
... View MoreSurely one of the greatest short cartoons ever made. Second for second, this is the most action packed cartoon i've ever seen. Mickey donald and goofy battle a big house fire and rescue clarabelle cow. The opening sequence is the title of the cartoon burning up and it pulls back to reveal the house on fire. The music in these 1935 mickey mouse cartoons is always spot on, adding to the drama. The flames are anthropomorphic ones, i.e they are animated, they run around like kids, they have legs, they grab windows and shut them etc. It's a visual feast of a cartoon,and it clocks in under 8 minutes. It's the kind of thing they don't do anymore, but it is available on dvd with all the colour 1935-1938 mickey mouse cartoons, and these are worth seeing.
