A small, square, black and white image introduces us to 1930 Mickey Mouse, out for a day's cart ride with his friends until Pegleg Pete drives up behind them in his car, intent on spoiling their fun.
Get A Horse! is the short film which accompanies Disney's 2013 animated feature Frozen, and is reason in itself to go to the cinema. Because this is not an original 1930s short although, when it starts, you would swear that it was. The soundtrack is partially made up of extracts from 1930s shorts (Walt Disney voices Mickey once more!), and the style is absolutely authentic: not only is the look of the thing spot on, the film is also full of sight gags which would have been totally at home in a short from that period.
And then widescreen, colour and 3D are introduced, but essentially as further sight gags. These technical anachronisms are used creatively to enhance this wonderful little film and, in so doing, they show Disney Animation Studios once more exercising the creativity for which they were once renowned. This is one of the best uses of 3D I have seen at the cinema.
This is an enormously enjoyable short.
