4.0 out of 5 stars A great collection, March 18, 2001

This review is from: Spirit of Mickey [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a great collection of Mickey cartoons. The titles include, "Band Concert" (the first color cartoon), "Thru the Mirror," Oscar winner "Lend a Paw," "Orphan's Picnic," "The Worm Turns," "Mickey's Surprise Party," "Mickey and the Seal," "Mickey's Trailer," "Canine Caddy," "Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip," and the original: "Steamboat Willie."

I enjoy this collection; it's great to see so many of the studios best work collected in one place. The title is a little misleading, because Donald and Pluto star is a couple of these. I especially enjoy "Band Concert," because it's so funny to watch, "Thru the Mirror," and "Steamboat Willie." One thing that's interesting to me is that so many of the early cartoons had a music soundtrack with little dialogue. The sound could have been cleaned up a bit on a couple of these, especially "Thru the Mirror." And I would have really liked to have had dates included with the titles at the beginning. Still, it's a solid collection of some of Disney's classic short subjects.

3.0 out of 5 stars May not be ideal for a two year old!, September 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Spirit of Mickey [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I bought this for my two year old nephew who loves Mickey Mouse & friends. However, after viewing it, I found it to be mostly older Mickey cartoons with ("un-pc") images too scary for a toddler. This video may be great for adults who are looking for a blast from the past, but I ended up not giving it to my nephew and regret buying it at all (it's expensive!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgia City, August 12, 2000

I can't believe I'm saying this, but this video, in a strange way, isn't really for kids - some of the shorts are so politically incorrect that they would never be made now, and you might want to view it before you hand it over to the kids.. But what a treat for adults who grew up with Mickey!

Everyone will have their favorite, but I remember in particular watching "Mickey's Trailer" when Disney shorts ran on days off from school on minor holidays. Another highlight is "The Band Concert", which opens the tape - a classic of toon mayhem.

One warning - I was looking forward to seeing "Steamboat Willie" for the first time and found to my shock that it is rather violent at points, especially the damage that Mickey inflicts on an unlucky cat. Adults who have had gardens ruined by other people's cats may appreciate the vicarious satisfaction - those with both impressionable kids and feline friends in the house may have other ideas.
