Watch Traffic Troubles For Free

People are voting emotionally.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Like traffic, this cartoon goes all over the place. The voiceovers were a little muffled and hard to understand and the plot was non-existent. But, the black and white animation was great for its day. Grade D+

This is an early Disney cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse. There will be spoilers ahead:Mickey is a taxi driver, though his taxi is basically alive, with eyes and a mouth. He stops to pick up a fare (a minor bit character named Percy) and the fun begins. Mickey is accosted by a cop resembling Pegleg Pete but with two whole legs. A slightly different looking character with a peg-leg shows up as a snake-oil salesman later on. I suspect that Pegleg was still in the formative stages here.Mickey drives off with his fare. This is probably the funniest stretch of the short, with gags involving a tiny car, potholes, the meter on Mickey's cab and the disappearing passenger. There's a really nice bit of animation involving Mickey's cab navigating road hazards in here.Mickey reaches his destination without his fare and realizes he's gone just before Minnie runs up needing a ride. Off they go for the next part of the cartoon. Mickey's cab gets a flat, with some nice character animation involving the cab.Mickey tries to re-inflate the tire using a pig as an air pump. This is when the salesman comes in and pours something in the cab's radiator and off we go for the finale. Mickey chases down his cab, which winds up on the back of Clarabelle Cow. The final gag is good.This short is available on the Mickey Mouse In Black and White, Volume Two Disney Treasures DVD set and is well worth tracking down. Recommended.

The summary of "Traffic Troubles" on IMDb pretty much covers everything in this cartoon, so I won't bother to explain in detail what occurs in this one. Suffice to say that Mickey is a cabbie and has a variety of adventures involving a VERY large passenger and his next passenger, Minnie.While there isn't a lot in the way of plot in "Traffic Troubles", it is filled with gags--one after another after another. So, if one of them falls flat, another soon follows that will probably make you laugh. Not a brilliant cartoon or a must-see but pleasantly animated, clever and worth seeing.

A Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.Mickey's TRAFFIC TROUBLES begin when he lets an extremely obese customer into his taxi.This is a fun black & white cartoon, although The Mouse is allowed to be rather cruel to the weaker animals he meets. The frantic, amply uddered bovine he encounters may be an early version of Clarabelle Cow. Peg-leg Pete & Minnie have small roles. Walt Disney supplies the voice for Mickey.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Bambi, Peter Pan and Mr. Toad. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
