Very best movie i ever watch
Thanks for the memories!
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Watching this in the early 80's as a child I loved this short. And now in 2018 watching it again, I assumed it was at least made in the late 50's. Because of the quality and craftsmanship. Shocked and even more impressed now that I now it was created in the late 30's. Still holds up and should be on the shelf of any Disney or animation fan.
"Brave Little Tailor" is Walt Disney's take on the David vs. Goliath story. Mickey plays the main character and manages to kill seven flies at once. Sadly the townsfolk misunderstand and believe he killed seven giants at one. And as there is a giant coming closer to terrorize the place, Mickey is appointed to protect everybody. Oh well.. maybe it would have been better if he hadn't managed to kill a single one of these flies. Anyway, now he is in deep trouble and we see him go against the giant. Back in 1939, 4 of 5 nominees at the Oscars for Best Cartoon were Disney movies. This one was among them, but lost to "Ferdinand the Bull". I would say these two are on par in terms of quality, both good watches, but neither among Disney's best really. Still I recommend them and the thing I found the funniest here was maybe that all the townspeople looked a lot like Goofy. The director and the actor who voiced the giant worked on a couple real Disney classics such as Bambi and Dumbo. The actress who voices Minnie did so in many other cartoons. And then, of course there is Walt Disney's unique Mickey voice. It's a really good team and one of the reasons why this one here succeeded. Recommended.
"Brave Little Tailor" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Short but lost to "Ferdinand the Bull". Any other year, this cartoon probably would have won but "Ferdinand" was simply magnificent and charming. Regardless, I strongly recommend you see both films.This short begins with Mickey killing seven flies at the same time. People THINK he meant giants and he's appointed by the king to be the Royal Giant-Killer! Mickey wants no part of this until he learns he'll also receive the hand of Princess Minnie--so he agrees to take out the giant. Can our brave little mouse possibly defeat an enormous and not particularly nice giant?! The biggest thing that stood out for me about this film was the outstanding animation. It might just be the best looking MIckey cartoon ever--with exquisite backgrounds and animations. It is an artistic masterpiece. Fortunately, it's not all great artwork--with a lovely story and lots of clever touches to make the entire package worth seeing. Plus, it was nice that the Disney folks came up for a way for Mickey to defeat the giant that wouldn't compromise Mickey's character, as he's supposed to be a genuinely nice individual--not some killer. Overall, I very strongly recommend you see this one--it's a classic.
This is one of the best (and well-known) Mickey cartoons of all time. And it's also another cartoon where Mickey goes against a giant like in the 1933 short "Giantland" and "Mickey and The Beanstalk" for the 1947 film "Fun and Fancy Free". Also this cartoon is a favorite of mine. The short is based on the fairy-tale by The Grimm Brothers with Mickey as the tailor who killed seven flies "with one blow!" Of course, everyone mistook the flies for seven giants and they thought Mickey is a giant-killer. The short was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Subject; but the award went to the short "Ferdinand The Bull." I love the main title theme music. Also I love the scene where everyone spreads the story of Mickey killing seven giants. And the rumor then reaches the ears of the king and his daughter Princess Minnie.
