An absolutely abhorrent cartoon , I was shocked to see this today and see the abuse Mickey shows towards animals.
I see at least one other reviewer on here finds this appalling and I am glad I'm not alone.
The bit with swinging the cat around by the tail had me in disbelief, and yes it continued with other animals, including a mother pig whose baby piglets were feeding on before; this was a nightmare of a cartoon to watch.
It's almost hard to believe that this is the beginning of the whole Walt Disney company; and that Mickey was chosen to be their 'cute' little trademark.
I don't want to hear how this is great because it is historically significant; that does not equal it being good.
This was no doubt an influence on the Itchy and Scratchy cartoons on the Simpsons (along with Tom and Jerry, of course).
Pure garbage.
