Featured review
I think it's pretty safe to bet that the Disney folks today hope you forget all about this one!!
"They don't make 'em like the used to"---that's a phrase that people USUALLY use in order to say how great things used to be years ago. However, in the case of "Mickey's Mellerdrammer" is means quite the opposite!! I truly think this is one of those shorts that the Disney Corporation wishes would just go away--and people would forget about this one. But, thanks to folks like me and wmorrow59 (who did a terrific review for this film), we won't let you forget! This cartoon begins with Mickey and Clarabelle donning black-face. It seems that the gang is putting on a performance of "Uncle Tom's Cabin"! Sure, this isn't at all politically correct today, but back in the 19th century it was a HUGELY popular book and play. But the sight of seeing Goofy and the rest in black-face is certainly stunning--and a reminder of just how far we've come as a society that now this sort of thing isn't to be laughed at...just seen with absolute shock!! All in all, if you can ignore the racial elements (and who can?!), it's not a terrible cartoon it's also a sign of the times. I sure hope the cartoon isn't totally buried, as it is a nice history lesson on our past. Maybe not a GOOD one, but a lesson nonetheless.
