There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This is rather an uneventful Mickey and Pluto cartoon, where Mickey uses a boomerang to pick up bananas. Pluto doesn't get along with the boomerang and tries to fend it off - in his ever-so-annoying loud bark. Meanwhile, Mickey has found an ostrich egg and wants to take it, but the ostrich sees this and attempts to chase Mickey off.The funniest part of the cartoon is when the boomerang gets stuck in Pluto's mouth, with some funny sound effects. There was some action where the ostrich chases Mickey around, but overall, it's not a very fun cartoon - rather predictable with limited laughs and excitement.Grade D+

This Disney short inexplicably finds Mickey and Pluto in Australia! Much of the cartoon finds Pluto fighting with a boomerang--a rather lame bit of time-filling if you ask me. It really wasn't very inspired and went on a bit too long. Later, Mickey has a run in with an ostrich (in Australia!!!!) and it's up to Pluto and the boomerang to come to the rescue.Overall, this is a particularly bad Disney outing--and not just because they put an ostrich in the wrong part of the world. The animation is good but the story is just pretty dumb and is amazingly weak. The only memorable aspect of the short is the appearance of the new voice for Mickey. Other than that, pretty easy to skip.

Don't get me wrong, I love these Disney cartoons they were part of my childhood, but this is one of my least favourites. There are a few funny moments, such as when Pluto gets the boomerang lodged in his mouth, the music is excellent and the voice acting from Pinto Colvig and James McDonald was well done. However, the cartoon gets stuck by being too routine and predictable, there are a few funny parts but the rest is only mildly amusing. While there is some vibrant colouring with the Australian rain forest, some of the character animation looked somewhat awkward. I also want to say I loved this cartoon when I was little, but watching from a 17 year old perspective, it has lost its magic. Overall, it is watchable, but I for one was disappointed being an avid Disney fan. 6/10 Bethany Cox

This Mickey Mouse short starts off with Mickey and Pluto walking through the jungle with a boomerang and Pluto thinks it is some kind of thing wanting to attack him and Mickey.I am a fan of Mickey Mouse but this is a very disappointing short in my opinion.This just shows Mickey trying to calm Pluto down and the boomerang gets stuck in Pluto's mouth and Mickey is trying to steal an ostrich egg.Mostly I laugh through these shorts and would love to watch them again but this put me off in watching it again but a few funny parts made me give it 5.This has aged well but it lost its magic and normally these shorts don't.This is watchable but not great.
