SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

OllieSuave-007 This is a hilarious cartoon where Mickey and Donald (a very early version of Donald) team up to rescue Fifi from dognapper Pegleg Pete. From dodging runaway seesaws to fighting gunfire, this cartoon is chock full of classic slapstick humor and silly action.Clarence Nash voices both Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse in this short and did a good job, matching his Mickey voice like Walt Disney's.The quality of the animation is great and holds up well throughout its time, even though it's an 80+ year-old black and white cartoon short! Great fun here! Grade A

Robert Reynolds This is a black and white Mickey Mouse cartoon produced by the Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:Mickey and Donald are police officers, Pegleg Pete is a dognapper who has taken a yapping ball of fur named Fifi. Mickey and Donald aren't exactly the best police in the world and their chase of Pete is filled with excellently animated bouts of cowardice and ineptitude on the part of our heroes, particularly Donald (actually proto-Donald, as the character design is markedly different from the Donald most people are familiar with).Most of the short is spent in a sawmill and a big chunk of it is spent with tables being turned and the advantage switching from Mickey back to Pete, generally because Donald does something that helps out Pete. What finally settles things is a circular saw-blade which comes free and chases down Pete. Some of the best gags and animation come along in this section, as the saw-blade seems to go after Pete like he stole its wallet.Mickey and Donald take advantage of Pete's plight and truss him up. The last scene is rather funny, This short is available on the Disney Treasures Mickey Mouse In Black and White, Volume One and it and the set are worth finding. Recommended.

MartinHafer This is one of the last black & white Mickey Mouse cartoons, but despite lacking color, the quality of the animation is first-rate. Not only are the characters animated well, but the backgrounds are tops as well--with vivid shading and lots of depth. Frankly, this looks a lot better than most color cartoons due to all the time and effort used to make it.The cartoon has very little in the way of plot. Peg-leg Pete has kidnapped a puppy and the police (Mickey and an early version of Donald) are in hot pursuit. And, despite Mickey and his pal being complete boobs, they manage to save the day. The big climax is in a sawmill and most of the film takes place there. As far as the action goes, none of it is a huge surprise but it does hold up well almost 80 years later. Lots of cartoony violence and action--the sort of cartoon that really appeals to younger audience members.

theowinthrop This early black and white Disney cartoon has Mickey and Donald as motorcycle cops who hear that Minnie Mouse's Pekingese dog Fifi was stolen by Peg Leg Pete. He speeds past their transit trap and they give chase. He shoots at them, and Donald tries to protect himself with an umbrella which is shot to pieces. Pete also rips the planks off a bridge, but the motorcycle and side car spread apart on the bridges' girders and ride up and down like on a roller coaster. They follow him to a deserted saw mill, and he fights with them after chaining Fifi down.Disney's cartoons have attractions such as his sight gags and a sense of goofiness (no pun intended). Here the goofiness is in the latter part of the confrontation when Pete turns on a large buzz saw to kill Mickey and Donald. This backfires when the buzz saw gets loose and starts chasing Pete, turning everything (including his peg leg) against him.Not the greatest of Disney's cartoons (one misses the non-involvement of Minnie - she is shown in a newspaper photo but never in the confrontation, as a possible hostage for Peg Leg Pete's use), but the fun of the cartoon is good and promised better results later on.
