A Major Disappointment

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I seen this in the cinemas before Frozen(Disney's highest grossing animated movie of all time btw) was shown and its also on the DVD as well so if you wanna see it be sure and check it out.The short is about Mickey and the gang who are in black and white in a cinema room and Pete is after Mickey. Of course the short then gets turned into CGI form and switches from CGI to Black & White once Pete is after Mickey's friends and they too end up in CGI form as well. Bottom line this was a brilliant short as it has the man himself Walt Disney as the voice of Mickey Mouse and all the old school actors as the other charcthers. What I like about this is like I said the blend of Black & White and CGI animation thrown into the mix. The humor was great,the concept was great overall I really enjoyed this short.7/10

As a huge fan of classic Disney and as someone who likes a lot of their modern stuff(though there have been a fair share of misfires), Get a Horse was really delightful and while Frozen is a great film and one of their best since the Renaissance this short that preceded it was even better. The animation mixes black and white classic animation and colour CGI, with the crisp and fluid black and white and the colourful and vibrant CGI that moves more naturally than that on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse it not only looks great but it is very cleverly used as well. The soundtrack is lively and with beautiful orchestration and themes that you'll recognise immediately. The sound effects are well-incorporated, some from the very early stuff that are preserved quite well, and are not misplaced or bizarre-sounding. Get a Horse has humorous dialogue and a story that is from start-to-finish boundless fun and energy and it's as clever as the animation too. Just as good are the gags, they're reminiscent of classic Disney but there is also a very modern Disney vibe, so it will appeal to anybody, child and adult, regardless of where abouts they were born. All the characters engage, with a delicious villain in Pete and Mickey who has the kindly quality he has now and also the heroic character in the old classic Disney. Minnie is sweet as well, and it was great to see Horace and Clarabelle, two characters often neglected(or they were for a long time before House of Mouse came on the scene). The voices are fine too, though it was initially a tad odd hearing (modern) Pete voiced by someone other than Jim Cummings, like the sound the original voices are well-preserved. All in all, delightful and recommended without any hint of hesitation. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Last year Mickey Mouse came back after decades.The story about Mickey Mouse and the good old gang of cartoon animals being attacked by Peg-Leg Pete.Clarabelle Cow is some of those who comes back in this charming short.This ends in hilarious situations on this journey.There is something for everyone here for fans of anthro animals, old school cartoons and on.It's like coming back and see the heydays of American road trips.The animation and sound is super.Go to Youtube and see this short whenever you like old cartoons, or animation in general.It could had been a Whole movie, and it's worth it anyway.The movie did not win the Oscar, but that was worth the nomination anyway.10/10

Get a Horse! (2013) *** (out of 4) This winning short from Disney was originally released and played before the FROZEN feature. The story is quite simple and Mickey and Minnie are trying to battle Peg-Leg Pete who eventually throws Mickey off the "movie" and into the movie crowd. Once in the crowd Mickey has to use some imagination to try and rescue Minnie who is still in the movie. GET A HORSE! was rather remarkable to see on the big screen because it starts off in B&W just like the original Mickey Mouse shorts and I thought this was a great way to show younger kids a bit of the past. Once the characters start falling from the movie, Mickey then turns to color and he even makes the screen wider to fit today's movies. For the most part I thought this 6-minute short contained a lot of wonderful imagination and especially once the characters were off the screen and seeing how they could defeat the villain. There were a lot of great laughs throughout the picture and especially with some of the harmless violence that was in so many of the original cartoons.
