Review of The Gorilla Mystery

I finally saw this for the first time today! I would say this has an interesting mysterious atmosphere at times, though the plot is not thick enough to qualify as an actual mystery. There is a gorilla on the loose; they have to catch him; what is so mysterious and unknown about that? Mickey reads about a gorilla on the loose in the newspaper, calls Minnie on the phone, she tells him not to worry and plays him some music on her piano. We see the gorilla fall from a tree and make a move on her, showing Mickey to be righteous in his fear! Definitely not the best Mickey Mouse cartoon, but honesty still quite entertaining IMO. Lots of fun and funny surprises! Most interesting novelties to me: first time hearing this very soothing whispering voice, which we discover is Mickey's and the first time I've ever seen Mickey's eyes illuminated alone, separately from the rest of his face, since he's in the dark. The bit where he pulled and used the gun was very funny, and so was the Maypole triumph at the end. Also, it had some of those big closeups that Ub Iwerks was known for, though I was pretty sure that he'd left the Disney studio by this point? Almost certainly an imitation, as not up the same quality standards, but still enjoyable! :)
