Topolino e il canguro

In this cartoon short from Walk Disney, Mickey gets a package from Australia: a kangaroo and its baby roo, both complete with boxing gloves (for some unknown reason, Disney characters randomly get animals mailed to them from all over). As a result, Mickey practices boxing with the adult while the baby annoys Pluto to no end.

There is really nothing entertaining or funny about this cartoon, just Mickey acting all smiles and cheerful as he gets pummeled in the boxing match, and the annoying baby roo feeling free to eat Pluto's food and to drive him crazy. Basically, very boring.

I know I might be analyzing too much on a cartoon short, but, there is really nothing remarkable about the short, except for the fact that Pluto "talks" in this cartoon with a voice-over, which I thought was rather unique. I did chuckle at a few points, but other than that, this cartoon is not a winner for me.

Grade D--
