This accompanied the theatrical release of Frozen, as well as the DVD and Blu-ray releases of that movie. It was also included on the "Walt Disney Animation Studios Short Films Collection."

It starts out in black & white, seeming like a 1920s-era Mickey Mouse short, although I must say the gags seemed rather risqué, to me. I mean seriously, I was kind of like "WTF?" But still, I wasn't particularly amused by it. Until the big twist, which I don't want to spoil. From that point on it gets very inventive and funny. Even so, I did feel like it went on a bit too long. I enjoyed the inventiveness, but it was still basically all the same concept, which started wearing a bit thin, in my estimation. So, um... it's definitely a cool short and I really dug it, but I don't know how interested I would be in watching it again. I just feel like, as clever as it is, it's the sort of cleverness that really only works once, when you don't see it coming. Of course, that's just my opinion, and I'm sure there are plenty of people who liked it more than I did the first time they saw it, and probably will continue to enjoy it on repeat viewings. So, whatever.

Oh, I just realized I haven't actually described the plot at all. Um... there's a hay ride with Mickey and Minnie and some other characters, and then there's a fight with Peg-Leg Pete, who basically kidnaps Minnie. And the fight takes a major turn when the plot twist happens. And that's all I wanna say.
