This is an early Mickey Mouse cartoon produced by the Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:
This short features cannibals as characters for most of the short, so it will offend quite a few people. There are probably more skulls in this short than in The Skeleton Dance, which is appropriate given the fact that these are cannibals.
The animation is good and the cannibals use musical instruments in decidedly unusual ways, but beyond that, there's not much that's terribly interesting. Mickey and Pluto are traveling down a river with a load of trade goods (apparently, Mickey intended to sell this stuff, although to whom is a mystery) when they are surrounded by cannibals almost immediately upon grounding their craft.
Clearly, Mickey and Pluto are on the menu, but they come upon Mickey's stuff and start basically playing with it, in abnormal and arcane ways, until Mickey takes a saxophone and starts playing. The cannibals then start making music, but again in atypical fashion. That's it to the cartoon.
This short is available on the Disney Treasures Mickey Mouse In Black and White, Volume Two DVD set and the set is worth tracking down.
