The amount of oddball moments in this cartoon help, at least in my opinion, overpower its rather thin story line. From the female soprano/deep bass of the lion to the rambling hippo to the plant head, the gags in here are well-paced and decently executed.

While majority of the animations would be lifted in "Opening Night" with Cubby Bear, this one is overall funnier to me and therefore better. One of my personal favorites from Van Beuren's quirky days.

The first of the Mickey, Donald, and Goofy cartoons, and they've already proven themselves worthy of a series formula. The bit with Goofy and the hoist goes on a bit longer than I would've preferred, but this is no doubt a classic.

Pete is cruel to the group to the point where he nearly kills them for assuming they blew a raspberry and if they didn't fix his car on time. The ending is just as hilariously cruel to him as he was to them.

If only the LaserDisc and Disney Treasures releases didn't have that reverberating soundtrack.

"What the he-"

It's a sound cartoon of the early 1930s era. It's honestly a shame there aren't any higher quality copies of this one, let alone a copy with English titles, because it's pretty enjoyable for an early Van Beuren outing.

With that said, the animation is Van Beuren's standard, meaning it isn't so hot. The horses dancing by the 3 minute mark look particularly horrendous, but humorously so.

The horse's skin melting to bones and the jazzy musical score alone make this one a worthwhile watch.

It reminds me of "The Tuba Tooter", a Tom and Jerry cartoon from the same studio released 2 years later.
