“Mickey” and “Donald” are getting ready for an hot date with the girls, but of course there has to be an element of rivalry and that sees Mickey draw the short feather and end up deshabillé. Whilst his pal orders the burgers (a guest appearance from “Goofy”) he finds himself constantly trying to find some way to dress himself before he is either arrested for indecent exposure or freezes to death. Of course, in best cartoon tradition, you just know that he has to cut a break sooner or later. It doesn’t hang about this, and although I never did really take to “Mickey” or his squeaky voice, this has something of the charm of “Steamboat Willie” (1928) to it as it stays just the right side of slapstick. Well worth three minutes, I’d say.
