This came out in 1937, and I'm writing my review after watching it on DVD in 2024. Some of the things that happen in the short seem vaguely familiar, so I probably saw it at some point in my youth, but it's not something I really remembered. It's worth noting that at the time this came out, Hawaii was a U.S. territory, but wouldn't become a state for another 22 years. Anyway, I guess I liked the short just barely well enough to give it its own page. I considered putting it on my "other Disney shorts" page, and I'm not really sure I like it more than any of the other shorts on that page, but I might. Kind of.

So, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto are on vacation in Hawaii. (Donald and Goofy both sing the line "on the beach at Waikiki". I don't know if they were necessarily actually at Waikiki, but they were certainly on a beach.) Mickey and Donald play instruments that both just looked like guitars to me, but apparently Mikey was playing slide guitar and Donald was playing a ukulele, while Minnie does a hula dance. A little bit later, Donald does a hula dance while Minnie plays the ukulele. Meanwhile, Goofy tries to surf, but the water seems to consciously frustrate his attempts. At one point, Pluto chases a starfish, and later he chases a crab. And, you know, more stuff happens, but I don't want to spoil every single detail. I don't think I found any part of the short particularly funny (nor particularly unfunny), but I still kinda dug the overall vibe.
