Camping Out (1934)

★★★ — Camping Out (1934)

Camping Out is a Mickey Mouse short released by Walt Disney Productions in 1934, during the period when the studio was firmly establishing its short-film output as the gold standard of Hollywood animation. David Hand directed, one of Disney's most reliable in-house directors of the era (he would later oversee Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937, serving as supervising director). The short features the familiar ensemble of Mickey, Minnie, Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow, with Pinto Colvig providing voice work alongside Marcellite Garner. By this point the Mickey Mouse series had been running for six years, and shorts like this one represent the confident, well-drilled middle period of the character's pre-war career.

Genuinely quite funny. Art style is great. Animated well. Timeless.

Alice in Wonderland (1951)

Disney’s Alice in Wonderland (1951) is the studio’s middle-period work par excellence: technically polished, commercially tested, narratively cautious, and just slightly off. Made between two of Disney’s commercial successes (Cinderella in 1950, which had rescued the studio from one of its periodic financial near-misses, and Peter Pan
