Mickey, Donald and Goofy are a fire department. As you might expect, their attempts at fighting a boardinghouse fire are not particularly effective. They hear Clarabelle singing in the bathtub and rescue her, tub and all, against her will (she won't believe there's a fire).

I don't know about anybody else but this is one of my favourite Mickey Mouse cartoons. And it is not just because Mickey, Goofy and Donald, who delight in everything they are in are together. Speaking of this trio, they are wonderful, they still have their warm personalities and all are funny. They are further advantaged by some fun voice work from Walt Disney, Pinto Colvig, Clarence Nash and Evia Allman.The story is also a lot of fun, the cartoon is quite short but it is never dull and goes at a cracking pace. The animation is excellent too, very vibrant in the backgrounds and the characters move convincingly. Also technically, Mickey's Fire Brigade is very impressive. The music is rousing and energetic.Where Mickey's Fire Brigade really works is in its humour. For me, this is one of the funniest Mickey-Donald-Goofy cartoons, I couldn't count the number of times I was laughing so much, so much so my sides got sore quite quickly. The writing brought a smile to my face, while the sight gags such as Mickey's fight with the water hose, Donald's battle with flames and Goofy being incinerated in the fire truck furnace(bizarre but it still worked) are well and truly spectacular.So all in all, technically polished and hilarious in its humour, Mickey's Fire Brigade is a definite winner. 10/10 Bethany Cox

I love the 1920s and 30s Mickey Mouse cartoons. Compared to the films of rival studios, they were head and shoulders over them all thanks to great quality animation, a wonderful sense of humor and nice characters. This one stars the wonderful trio of Mickey, Donald and Goofy and is in glorious Technicolor.It begins with the three working as firemen. They respond to a fire with rather predictable results--though the weird scenes with an unusually dumb Clarabelle Cow are pretty strange. Despite the fire all around her, Clarabelle insists on taking her bath--and fights all attempts by these do-gooders to help. Again and again, she beats the snot out of the three heroes but they do not relent--they are determined to save this dopey bovine.High quality throughout and quite entertaining. This is not the best film the trio made, but is still quite good and worth seeing--and, more importantly, the film has withstood the test of time. Try watching some of the incredibly insipid and saccharine films of rival studios of 1935--you'll no doubt see what I'm talking about when it comes to the outstanding quality of this Disney film.

A hotel is burning and Mickey's Fire Brigade is answering the distress call. But Mickey, Goofy and Donald are not so great when it comes to fighting fire. In fact, everything that can go wrong between their ramshackle fire truck and worthless tactics does. Donald's fight with the fire gets a bit too personal, Mickey cannot keep the wild hose under control and Goofy does a bit of peeping on a cow taking a bath (cows are always naked anyway) who doesn't realize the hotel is on fire. And why does she have horns if she is indeed a SHE???Most bizarre, of all their hijinks, is the scenes in which Goofy chucks everything he can get his paws on out the window, only to be incinerated in the fire truck furnace. What??? This I totally do not understand. Was this an attempt at irony? It comes of as just plain confusing.A funny and imaginative cartoon nonetheless.

Mickey, Donald and Goofy are fire fighters in this amazing piece of animation. Some of the scenes are just spectacular. Mickey's fight with an out of control water hose is incredible and Donald's battle with an army of flames forshadows The Sorcerer's Apprentice segment of Fantasia. This one is not to be missed.
