Alpine Climbers

Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto climb a mountain. Actually Pluto isn't really climbing, he is hanging with a rope detached to the other two. When they are on the top all three find their own problems.

This is a very nice short. Mickey has some trouble with eagles, Donald with a lamb and Pluto with another dog. Some things were really funny. I enjoyed this one very much.

Not one of my absolute favourite cartoons, but one I do love Alpine Climbers anyhow. The character designs have been a little better before and since, but still there is a certain charm to them. The colours have a nice contrast between light and dark and the backgrounds are fluid and not too jerky. The music is energetic and dynamic, as you'd expect from a Disney cartoon. The story is simple, but never dull, and all three characters are great. Mickey is good and likable, though it's in the climax where he's at his most involved. For me, while Donald still delights with his frustration and cantankerous personality Pluto is as cute as ever and his moments are the best in Alpine Climbers. All the gags are funny and imaginatively spaced-out, the best being the moment between Pluto and the St Bernard Dog who comes to his aid, though the fun climax and the gag between Donald and the baby goat are just as effective. All in all, great fun. 9.5/10 Bethany Cox

One of Disney's funniest shorts. Highly recommend.

I own all of the four films with Silly Symphonies and Micky Mouse. I found many of the short films to be masterpieces. They are all so very well-done and funny.

This one is about Mickey,Donald and Pluto that is going to go out and climb a mountain. It's a hilarious little film with many funny things in it.

This is one of the funnier cartoons from Disney, featuring Mickey, Donald and Pluto. They go mountain climbing in the Swiss Alps and find themselves dealing with a batch of misadventures: Mickey attempts to himself with some eagle eggs but meets up with an angry mother eagle instead; Donald has run-ins with a baby goat and his adult parent; and Pluto gets some buzzed fun with a St. Bernard.

Donald gets edelweiss eaten by a mischievous little goat, but Mickey got his fair share of bad luck when a mother eagle and her just-batch eaglets storm around him. Pluto also gets plastered after a St. Bernard nurses him after his run-in with an annoying baby eagle. It's all tastefully done comedy that I've found myself laughing out loud a few times. Mickey and Donald belching out Swiss tunes at the beginning of the short was hilarious.

My favorite scene is when Donald gets a rare last laugh of his own, when he gives a ramming goat a taste of his own medicine. Love this cartoon - one of the better ones!
