Enjoyment: The first part, when it's just a straight old-timey-style cartoon, is great - whimsical and funny (which is really saying something for Mickey Mouse). Then the fourth wall thing comes along. It's a cute idea, but poorly executed, inexplicably losing any sense of comedic timing. It doesn't help that similar gags were done a lot better back in the 20s and 30s. C
GPA: 2.0/4
