Featured review
In this cartoon, a woman is seen trudging through the snow on a cold and windy Christmas. She leaves a basket by the doorstep of Mickey and Minnie Mouse. A kitten pops out and Minnie picks it up. Soon, a whole bunch of kittens come out of the basket. I have two cats (and a dog) at home so I know what a handful they can be. But there must be about 10-15 kittens. Imagine how many litter boxes Mickey and Minnie would have to clean out. Mickey and Pluto come into the house dressed as Santa and a reindeer. Mickey hands the kittens a bundle of toys (most of which are axes, hammers, saws, cannons, and other destructive tools) and they go about destroying the house. Seeing this short made me be thankful that I only have 2 cats and they don't tear up the house (although one of them has scratched on one of our chairs). This was also the first Mickey Mouse short to win an academy award (I can see why can you?)
