Synopsis

Mickey heads over to see Minnie, but Pluto won't leave him alone. He gets there and watches through the window, standing on Pluto, while Minnie plays piano. Pluto runs off to chase a cat and leaves Mickey stuck in the window. Minnie has him in, and he dances to her playing. Pluto chases the cat into the house and causes havoc. The chase leads into the piano, where Pluto picks up the player-piano roll as an extended tail, and the destruction continues.

OllieSuave-007 Mickey visit Minnie in this cartoon short, but Pluto steals the show as Mickey and Minnie's song and dance date at Minnie's house is hilariously interrupted by Pluto chasing a stray cat.Mickey's balancing act of instruments, tools and a fishbowl come tumbling down when the animals speeds by, and Minnie's piano was nearly trashed. There's some funny, chaotic moments throughout the cartoon short, and the sound effects and music match the characters' movement cleverly.Not a bad black and white cartoon overall.Grade B-
TheLittleSongbird I always enjoy Disney and Mickey Mouse. While not one of the standouts of Mickey's cartoons for me, it is still an interesting and very enjoyable cartoon. The animation has been better elsewhere with not much leaping out as standouts, apart from the sequence involving Mickey's Just Hanging Around joke, however it is clean and smooth. The music is a big part of Mickey Steps Out, with a great amount of rhythm and energy, particularly when Mickey makes music out of walking, tripping and jumping along the path. The story is crisply paced and always entertaining with a wonderfully chaotic ending(plus interestingly Mickey shaves), but in terms of structure somewhat all-over-the-place with the constant switches from broad physical comedy to musical numbers. The comedy, coming mostly from Pluto, is very funny, and while Mickey and Minnie are likable and not too sidelined Pluto is the star, carrying the comedy and the main thrust of the story very well. All in all, a very well done cartoon, not Disney's very best or among their best but I recommend it with no hesitation. 8/10 Bethany Cox
MartinHafer Unless you absolutely demand that a Mickey Mouse cartoon be in full color, I can't see much you wouldn't like in this charming cartoon. In addition to Mickey, it's got Pluto and Minnie--making it one of the earliest cartoons from Disney with this trio. And, most importantly, it is fun! The cartoon finds Mickey and Pluto on their way to Minnie's house. However, Pluto is distracted by a cat and spends much of the cartoon chasing it. For a while, Pluto disappears and the cartoon focuses on Mickey and Minnie having fun--the wholesome variety, by the way. Ultimately, however, Pluto and the cat arrive in the house and make a mess of everything.This cartoon features the voice of Walt Disney as Mickey. In several early Mickey cartoons where he talks, it's a much gruffer voice--and it sounds nothing like the one Walt made famous. It also features a nice sense of fun. From start to finish, a sweet little cartoon that still looks great over 80 years later.
Ron Oliver A Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.MICKEY STEPS OUT to spend the evening with Minnie, heedless of the havoc possible if Pluto follows him...There's not much plot in this black & white film, which doesn't detract from the enjoyment of watching it. That's `Sweet Georgia Brown' Mickey hoofs it to while Minnie tickles the ivories. Walt Disney supplies Mickey's voice.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Bambi, Peter Pan and Mr. Toad. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
