WEEK 34: A DISNEY ANIMATION
Description: Mickey Mouse
si a mischievous deckhand on a riverboat that is under the command of the
tyrannical Captain Pete.
Review: Let me just start with the fact that “Steamboat Willie” doesn’t stand
the test of time when it comes to the themes and content.
“Steamboat Willie” is about
Mickey Mouse who works on a riverboat, for a tyrannical captain. On this boat,
he decided to make the best of it, by playing pranks and making music.
The animation itself is great,
I love the black and white, old-school Mickey. But content-wise, this is just something
you can’t laugh about these days. Am I the only one that thinks Mickey Mouse is
kind of a dick in this short film? I mean, he pulls a gooses neck to make it
sing and pulls and kicks baby pigs away from their mother, so he can use the
pig as an accordion.
Style-wise, I like it,
content-wise I hate it. So almost impossible to rate.
Rating: 2,5/ 5
