Through the looking mouse

Warning: Spoilers
"Thru the Mirror" is an American cartoon from 1936, so to put this one into perspective it was made 80 years ago when the Nazis hosted the Olympia Games in Berlin. And Mickey Mouse had turned into one of the biggest rising stars from the world of cartoon at this point already. This one here runs for almost 9 minutes, so it's a bit longer than they usually are and thanks to the repeated "Alice in Wonderland" references, it is also among the more known cartoons from back in the day, especially if we exclude Warner Bros. I personally did not find it too great though. I may be a bit biased as I have never been a Lewis Carroll fan, but I have seen many better Mickey Mouse cartoons from back in the day. This one here is just wild, all over the place and the music seems to try to make up for the lack of content. It shows that style over substance existed back then already too. I did not find it too funny or creative and would only recommend it to the biggest Disney or Alice fans. Thumbs down from me.
