People are voting emotionally.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

In this early Disney film, we have Mickey Mouse attempting to build a plane. All the hard work goes for naught as it crashes into a hundred pieces. But he soon discovers an old jalopy. He adds wings and a propeller to it and off he goes. But before takeoff, who should appear but Minnie. She is invited to fly with him, but he has only one thing on his mind. She holds her own and things play out in an amusing way.

After believing for years that Steamboat Willie was Mickey Mouse's debut,I was surprised to discover that Mickey had made his debut in a Silent cartoon which had sounded added a few months later,which led to me getting ready to take a plane ride with Mickey.The plot:Reading a book on how to fly,Mickey gets a group of farm yard animals to help him build a plane.Getting set for take off,Minnie walks pass the plane,which leads to Mickey grabbing Minnie and putting her in the plane.Looking forward to kissing Minnie as they fly in the sky,Mickey soon discovers that it is harder to fly than he expected.View on the film:Secretly made whilst co-director (along with Ub Iwerks-who drew 700 animation drawings a day for the film!) Walt Disney was still working for Universal,Disney and Iwerks display an amazing sense of daring energy in their animation style,with the directors brilliantly using first person shots to let the viewer see things from Mickey's pov.Keeping the story sweet and easy,Disney and Iwerks make the film fly by with charming visual gags from Mickey using the animals to keep his plane running,to Mickey trying to get Minnie to give him a saucy kiss.

Plane Crazy (1928)*** (out of 4)The very first Mickey Mouse film has him wanting to be like Charles Lindbergh so he builds a plane and heads out with Minnie to set a record but things don't go as planned. PLANE CRAZY is a historic short no matter what you think of the actual content but thankfully the film is a nice little gem that will manage to make you laugh and smile. This certainly isn't the greatest film ever made nor one of Disney's best but there's enough charm here to make it worth sitting through. There are many funny moments but the best has to be the sequence where Mickey wants a hug and then a kiss but Minnie just isn't having any of that. There's a great bit of animation when the plane is spinning out of control and the point of view shot is quite excellent.

"Plane Crazy" isn't quite as cute or as innovative as the brilliant "Steamboat Willie", but like "Steamboat Willie" it is a timeless gem and a cartoon milestone in its own right. It is very funny, and is still cute. The black and white animation may be a tad crude by today's standards, but in general it is not too bad. The backgrounds are detailed enough. The music as always is delightful, the story is engaging enough for kids and adults and Mickey once again gives a stellar performance, aided by the equally stellar voice work from Walt Disney.Overall, is it the absolute best Disney cartoon? Maybe not, but timeless? You bet it is. 10/10 Bethany Cox
