... View MoreThis is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
... View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
... View MoreLike traffic, this cartoon goes all over the place. The voiceovers were a little muffled and hard to understand and the plot was non-existent. But, the black and white animation was great for its day. Grade D+
... View MoreThe summary of "Traffic Troubles" on IMDb pretty much covers everything in this cartoon, so I won't bother to explain in detail what occurs in this one. Suffice to say that Mickey is a cabbie and has a variety of adventures involving a VERY large passenger and his next passenger, Minnie.While there isn't a lot in the way of plot in "Traffic Troubles", it is filled with gags--one after another after another. So, if one of them falls flat, another soon follows that will probably make you laugh. Not a brilliant cartoon or a must-see but pleasantly animated, clever and worth seeing.
... View MoreDisney was always a big part of my childhood. Traffic Troubles wasn't a cartoon that I grew up on, in fact it is a very recent endeavour for me, but it is a great cartoon regardless. The animation is crisp and smooth, with Mickey's facial expressions of frustration very well done and funny. The music is very catchy and has the typical energy you'd expect, while the story is interesting and there are some nice moments of verbal humour which was different as Disney cartoons around this time rarely used it. The characters are all engaging, Pete is delightful in his two appearances, Mickey is still endearing(likewise with Minnie) even back when he was daring and I enjoyed seeing Percy(the opening sequence and his taxi ride is interesting for the fact that it's set entirely in the city), Horace and Clarabelle. What I loved most about Traffic Troubles were the gags, some aren't the most original I've seen but all of them are clever and never less than amusing. The best were the ones with the pothole, the fare meter and the cow("oh heck"). In conclusion, a wonderful cartoon with many gags all of which hit the right buttons. 10/10 Bethany Cox
... View MoreA Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.Mickey's TRAFFIC TROUBLES begin when he lets an extremely obese customer into his taxi.This is a fun black & white cartoon, although The Mouse is allowed to be rather cruel to the weaker animals he meets. The frantic, amply uddered bovine he encounters may be an early version of Clarabelle Cow. Peg-leg Pete & Minnie have small roles. Walt Disney supplies the voice for Mickey.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.
