Review:
Mickey is a castaway, stranding on a tropical island.
Luckily, a piano is washed ashore as well, so Mickey performs for the jungle animals inhabiting the island. Unfortunately, a little tiger disturbs him, and a great ape wants to play the piano, too, wrecking the instrument.
‘The castaway’ was a short made out of rest material, and it shows. Nevertheless, this short contains nice effect animation of waves washing ashore. It also reuses some animation of dancing sea lions from ‘Wild Waves‘ (1929).
Watch ‘The Castaway’ yourself and tell me what you think:
This is Mickey Mouse cartoon No. 27
To the previous Mickey Mouse cartoon: Traffic Troubles
To the next Mickey Mouse cartoon: The Moose Hunt

I liked it. Much action and a piano that always brings music, not just notes! Also here again: well known music and own silly music!
