The Fire Fighters Review

The Fire Fighters is a 1930 Mickey Mouse cartoon. It is a solid effort.

This film actually has a plot although it’s a simple one. Mickey has to help Minnie and get her out of a burning house. This is one of those situational cartoons where we just follow one dangerous hazard and the hero has to save the day. But even though it of course lacks in originality, it compensates that with a couple of good, clever gags and a competent execution overall.

The second half was much more entertaining than the first one. I liked the animation and the action was really good here. The highlight was seeing Mickey laugh when the flames were tickling his behind and the entire ending where he helped Minnie and when the two embraced was so cute and endearing.

The Fire Fighters is not original, but it is pretty fun with some good moments and some really endearing scenes.
