Walt Disney Classic Cartoon Favorites

Mickey's Good Deed (8x1)

Ausstrahlung: Dez 17, 1932

In the first of only two shorts explicitly set around Christmastime, Mickey decides to give of himself to make the holiday a bit more special for the less fortunate. He does the unthinkable -- selling Pluto -- to be able to bestow gifts upon a family of underprivileged children. While Mickey is off entertaining the little ones, Pluto is subjected to a number of threatening incidents by his spoiled new owner. Fortunately, there is a happy snowy campfire reunion of the Mouse and his dog. This short marks a Classic Cartoon Favorites first: it was made in black & white, but appears colorized here. The copyright date given is 1991, so the past fourteen years of innovation in the field of colorization have not been taken advantage of here, and this shows in the shortcomings that the perceptive will detect.
