Lack of good storyline.

Just so...so bad

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This is an earlier Disney cartoon featuring Mickey, Donald and Goofy. Here, they are working at a service station and were given the daunting task of getting a squeaking noise out of grumpy Pete's car in 10 minutes. What results are hilarious scenes after the other, from Goofy hammering his hand by mistake to Donald tripping over buckets of oil. Every attempt they made to fix the car ended being one laughable mishap after the other. They ended up getting the squeak out, but got the best out of the car and ultimately made Pete getting more than he bargained more.It's pure entertainment, slapstick humor and laughs from start to finish. Mickey is his determined self and Goofy is his accident-prone character. Donald got his classic, fiery-tempered and voice-crackling personality. Great stuff! Grade A

This is a black and white Mickey Mouse short produced by the Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:This short finds Mickey, Donald and Goofy as mechanics. The basic personalities of the three are in place, though Donald's physical character design isn't quite what most people are familiar with. Pegleg Pete (with what sounds like a Russian accent) drives up, tells them he has a squeak in his car and threatens them if they don't find the squeak in ten minutes. In a nice touch, there's a small shoe on Pete's peg leg! There's a nice gag involving Pete and a horn.Most of the short is our trio essentially destroying Pete's car in colorful and inventive ways while looking for the squeak. The animation here is excellent, as always and the gags, largely visual in nature, are hilarious. Mickey has problems with a tire rim, the pistons make Goofy rather unhappy and pretty much everything he touches manages to make Donald angry.The source of the squeak is discovered and leads to wholesale destruction. It's a nice gag, so I won't spoil it here. Our heroes barely manage to get the car cosmetically looking more or less presentable, but their "tender" care becomes clear when Pete starts his car. The ending is perfect.This short is available on the Disney Treasures Mickey Mouse In Black and White, Volume One DVD set and it and the set are well worth finding. Recommended.

There have been many classic Mickey Mouse cartoons, and Mickey's Service Station is one of them. My only real criticism is that compared to Goofy and Donald, who delight with their clumsiness and temperament, Mickey(seeing as it's his name in the title of the cartoon) is a little bland, he is still likable but more of the lovable loser type than the heroic type. His two gags, him getting stuck in an empty tire rim hoop and getting tangled in an inner tube, are amusing but not hilarious, not in the way Goofy's stumbling around trying to get the car safely on the ground is. The main gag, finding the cause of the squeak is a clever one also. But of the gags, all of which are well-spaced out, humorous and imaginative, the best part was the ending, Pete's, as rapacious as ever, reaction and the sequence where he gets chased by his mistreated car is classic. The animation is crisp and clean, with a fast-paced story and a music score full of snap and energy. The voice work from Walt Disney, Pinto Colvig, Clarence Nash and Billy Bletcher is impeccable. Overall, a great cartoon helped by lots of things but especially the ending. 9/10 Bethany Cox

The best Disney shorts were when they put a Disney character or characters in an everyday situation and let the chaos begin. This one was an early example of them moving away from the song and dance cartoons which they had been doing for so long and into that sort of thing. The antics that Mickey, Donald, and Goofy go through to fix Pete's car are genuinely funny, with a wonderfully loud end. A very good watch.
