This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Absolutely brilliant

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is a really boring cartoon starring Mickey and Pluto. There's no plot or story, just them two doing a lot of fishing, or at lease attempting to. No laughs nor adventures, just a lot of barking from Pluto and fishing-rod holding from Mickey. Toward the second half of the cartoon, there's still sheriff who seemed to be after Mickey and Pluto, which really was out of place for a fishing cartoon.Mickey and Pluto are definitely amusing, but this cartoon didn't take the cake.Grade D---

This is an early Disney cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse and Pluto. There will be spoilers ahead:Mickey and Pluto are out on a lake for some fishing until the boat crashes into a "No Fishing" sign. Given their success at fishing, it likely means "Don't Waste Your Time Trying" as it does "You Can't Do This!", because they run into a very annoying school of fish, headed by an incredibly obnoxious fish.These fish taunt and laugh at Mickey and Pluto most of the cartoon. There are some sections where animation is clearly reused, particularly one extended gag which is hilarious. There's a nice scene in the middle of the short where Pluto is underwater with some nice gags done there.A police officer comes along and catches Mickey fishing illegally, though I suspect that if he ever made the acquaintance of these fish, he'd be on Mickey's side. Our heroes escape, of course, and behave rather obnoxiously toward the police officer in the ending gag.This short is available on the Mickey Mouse In Black and White, Volume Two Disney Treasures DVD set and is well worth tracking down. Most recommended.

Mickey and Pluto go fishin', even though it's not permitted. They get stopped by a policeman but escape him through Pluto's 50 horsepower tale apparently...Walt Disney (30 at the time) himself did the voice of Mickey (as he did a lot of times, I didn't know that before I looked up this movie), but the movie on the whole was a bit disappointing. The animation is a bit crappy (though this one is older than I first expected) and the story is only so and so, in particular the first half. Once the policeman arrives at the scene the real fun begins but it's too little too late I'm afraid.5/10 for this early Disney.

A Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.Mickey & Pluto find plenty of trouble while FISHIN' AROUND on the lake.This is a fun little black & white cartoon, with plenty of humor. The fish our pals encounter are certainly a strange breed - they all have navels. Walt Disney supplies Mickey's voice.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.
