This is a dancing and singing cartoon with lots of barnyard acts. You'll see chickens, ducks and pigs dance, Mickey and his friends playing in a band and, ultimately, Mickey singing and dancing.
Back in 1929, this sort of cartoon apparently went over quite well as there were a lot of similar toons by Disney as well as competing studios. However, when seen today, I can't help but think most folks (especially kids) would be bored to tears by the whole thing. There really is no plot. There aren't any real jokes. And, worst of all, there isn't a whole lot of charm to this short. While I will admit that the cartoon is well made compared to other cartoons of 1929, it just isn't fun or entertaining.
