    Pretty Good

    "This one is pretty good, pretty funny, not as funny as Mickey's Trailer but still enjoyable, i like when Mickey whistled the same song as the background song, the seal is very cute, pluto is hilarious with his angry and jealous face, i like this one"

    Very funny seal

    This is a very funny Mickey Mouse short. Mickey visits the Seal Park and by accident he is taking a little seal home. He discovers that when he is taking a bath, a very funny sequence. Pluto is not so pleased to see a seal with Mickey. A very nice short with a very funny ending.

    I love seals

    This will always be my go-to when I'm feeling down. 10/10 guaranteed to make you smile and laugh as wide and as hard as you possibly can. Recommended for all ages, especially arctic animal enthusiasts.

    Enjoyable, even if the premise has become old-hat

    This is one of the better of the 1940s era Mickey Mouse shorts and the typical Disney attention to detail is still there, although you can sense that some of the enthusiasm for short form cartoons is beginning to wane just the teensiest bit. The basic premise of the cartoon-feed something and it's yours whether you want it or not-is getting a bit stale, but here it's quite entertaining. This shows from time to time on The Ink and Paint Club. Well worth watching.
