one of my absolute favorites!

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

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!"

I first saw this cartoon short when it was part of a "Wonderful World of Color" episode, where Mickey and the gang is on vacation. Goofy has surfing problems, Donald learns dances too close to the fire with a grass skirt on, and Pluto has a riff with a starfish and a crab.It's hilarious to see each of the characters having their own vacation problems, but it is all in good fun and sure to send laughter to the audience.This is one of the best cartoons from Walt Disney to feature most of the entire gang: Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Pluto. Up until now, I still have laughs watching it, especially Donald's scenes. And, it makes you want to take a trip to Hawaii.Grade A

In Hawiian holiday Mickey,Minnie,Donald,Goofy and Pluto are off on holiday and doing a lot of stuff to keep themselves occupied.Goofy is trying to surf,Donald is avoiding harmful sea-creatures,Pluto tries to make friends with a starfish and a crab,Minnie is doing the "Hoola"and Mckey is showing off with a guitar.This is a funny short and anybody would like it.Hardly anyone hates Mickey Mouse or dislikes him but people who are not fans might even find this funny for example the sea won't let Goofy surf the waves and they just keep hurling him back to the beach. This is a funny short and no one will be disappointed.Recommended to Mickey Mouse fans.

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.
