Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

OllieSuave-007 This is a rather funny Mickey cartoon, where he runs a radio station from his barn. His friends play various musical numbers there, but they were interrupted by a cat and his litter of kittens. Annoying little felines, but hilarious results as poor Mickey try to contain the situation. I got some laugh-out-loud moments watching this one. Grade B+

Robert Reynolds This is an early Disney short featuring Mickey Mouse. There will be spoilers ahead:This is essentially a musical cartoon along the lines of The Barnyard Concert, only Mickey is broadcaster as opposed to conductor. The musicians are Horace, Clarabelle and Minnie. There's something of a continuity error early on, when Horace, playing a violin in a trio, walks into the studio carrying a violin case, but the tune being played by the trio moments earlier can still be heard. Horace plays a musical saw solo.About halfway through the short, a cat comes into the "studio" and begins meowing, thus disturbing the broadcast. The rest of the cartoon is dominated by the cat, first solo and then with four kittens, being chased (unsuccessfully) by Mickey, who's efforts to get rid of the cats wind up being a greater disruption to the broadcast than the cats prove to be. There are some nice gags in here, mostly involving cats.This short is available on the Mickey Mouse In Black and White, Volume Two Disney Treasures DVD set and is well worth tracking down.

MartinHafer If it wasn't for the appearance of some annoying cats late in the cartoon, "The Barnyard Broadcast" wouldn't be worth your time. After all, most of the cartoon consists of Mickey and his friends playing music--a concept that wears very, very thin very quickly. Fortunately, late in the film, a single cat appears and messes up the radio broadcast. And, soon, the cat's kittens appear and REALLY mess up the broadcast. It's clever and absolutely saves the cartoon--and makes it all worth seeing.By the way, this is an odd cartoon if you think about it. Mickey is a VERY large mouse and he spends much of the picture chasing the cats instead of the other way around!! use chasing cats?!

TheLittleSongbird While not one of my absolute favourite Mickey Mouse cartoons, it is for me one of the better cartoons of his set in the barnyard. The beginning with the cats listening to the radio struck me as unnecessary, though the very opening shot is fun. The supporting characters such as Clarabelle and Horace don't have all that much to do, but seeing them is a pleasure by itself. The kittens though are really cute and mischievous and come very close to stealing the show. But it is Mickey's short, here he drives the plot and his kindly manner introducing everything, his interplay with the kitten and his facial expression at the end is a joy. The cat is a fun character and is a big part of why the chaotic ending is so hilarious. We see Pluto also briefly, and while you expect him to either cause chaos or come to the rescue we just get an early shot of him and then he disappears. A little disappointing but considering the main crux of the short perhaps necessary also. The gags are very funny, especially the kittens coming up through the floorboards, Mickey using horseshoes for chimes, Horace playing the saw and Mickey cutting the piano in half with Clarabelle still playing it. The animation is crisp and clean, the pacing is lively and the music enhances the action splendidly. Overall, a fun, great ride. 9/10 Bethany Cox
