A touch of Australia

Warning: Spoilers
"Mickey's Kangaroo" is at 9 minutes an unusually long short film from Mickey's (not very) early days. It is still black-and-white and features the duo as they run into a kangaroo. And of course, also back then 80 years ago, they still had small kangaroos in their belly bag. And boxing kangaroos was also a thing back then already. So Mickey keeps playfully going against the big one, but obviously has no shot at all at winning. Meanwhile, Pluto tries to keep the little one away from his food. No success here either. I must say I did not find this one here as good as some other Mickey cartoons from that era. It was mostly slapstick, but not really smart or funny and maybe it is even true that these films only work for 7 minutes. Not recommended.
