Shawn Watson A hotel is burning and Mickey's Fire Brigade is answering the distress call. But Mickey, Goofy and Donald are not so great when it comes to fighting fire. In fact, everything that can go wrong between their ramshackle fire truck and worthless tactics does. Donald's fight with the fire gets a bit too personal, Mickey cannot keep the wild hose under control and Goofy does a bit of peeping on a cow taking a bath (cows are always naked anyway) who doesn't realize the hotel is on fire. And why does she have horns if she is indeed a SHE???Most bizarre, of all their hijinks, is the scenes in which Goofy chucks everything he can get his paws on out the window, only to be incinerated in the fire truck furnace. What??? This I totally do not understand. Was this an attempt at irony? It comes of as just plain confusing.A funny and imaginative cartoon nonetheless.

Robert Reynolds Just about every studio has seen the visual possibilities inherent in doing cartoons involving firemen and fires. This is one of the early ones and it works exceedingly well. While I don't know that they started here, a number of the standard gags are here and they work to perfection. Disney was basically firing on all cylinders during this period and was more or less the only studio on top of the mountain in 1935, given that Fleischer was starting a slow fade, though still doing good work, as the new Code's requirements began taking its toll on the Betty Boop series. Warner Brothers and MGM were not yet as good as Disney or Fleischer and Lantz didn't really hit his stride until Andy Panda and Woody Woodpecker came along. Disney was king and precise, very technically excellent shorts like Mickey's Fire Brigade were the result. Disney spent more time and effort on a seven-eight minute cartoon than some studios took with their feature films! Great cartoon (and very funny) well worth watching. Most highly recommended.

rbverhoef Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy are firemen. A house is in fire and instead of fighting the fire the fire is fighting them. This Disney short is packed with a lot of action. It is funny sometimes, especially the little sequences with Goofy. Enjoyable.

Squonk Mickey, Donald and Goofy are fire fighters in this amazing piece of animation. Some of the scenes are just spectacular. Mickey's fight with an out of control water hose is incredible and Donald's battle with an army of flames forshadows The Sorcerer's Apprentice segment of Fantasia. This one is not to be missed.
