One of a number of Mickey Mouse rip-off cartoons made at the time of the Disney's character's initial popularity explosion. Contrary to the reviewer from 2011, I found the art amateurish and unintentionally grotesque, the pacing purely haphazard, the gags perfunctory and crudely executed and the music largely the same percussive bops accompanying every conceivable type of action. There are many cheaply-made cartoons from this period - including others from Van Beuren - that are imaginative, even surreal, frequently hilarious and whose execution possesses a naive charm. This isn't one of them. Every aspect of it reeks of mediocrity at best. The only entertainment value comes from pondering the audacity of such a blatant attempted rip-off of the Mickey Mouse appearance.
