Two-Gun Mickey

I always enjoy Disney and Mickey Mouse cartoons, and Two-Gun Mickey is no exception. The basic concept is rather routine, no much different from the other Mickey rescues Minnie idea, and Pete's pegged leg strangely keeps switching from side to side. However, Two-Gun Mickey is always interesting and entertaining, full of action and great gags. I love the western feel also and the music has the energy you'd expect from a Disney cartoon. Mickey and Minnie are very likable protagonists and Pete is a great villainous foil. The voice work of Walt Disney, Marcellite Garner and Billy Bletcher are impeccable here. And when it comes to the animation, that is what makes Two-Gun Mickey so interesting, beautiful and smooth with inventive use of camera, panoramic views of the deserts and tight close-up shots of Mickey and Pete grappling over Minnie. Another point of interest was Mickey daydreaming about Minnie, instead of slowing down the action it makes you empathise with Mickey more and enhances also I think the storytelling. Overall, very interesting cartoon. 8/10 Bethany Cox
