Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

OllieSuave-007 This is one of the funnier cartoons from Disney, featuring Mickey, Donald and Pluto. They go mountain climbing in the Swiss Alps and find themselves dealing with a batch of misadventures: Mickey attempts to himself with some eagle eggs but meets up with an angry mother eagle instead; Donald has run-ins with a baby goat and his adult parent; and Pluto gets some buzzed fun with a St. Bernard.Donald gets edelweiss eaten by a mischievous little goat, but Mickey got his fair share of bad luck when a mother eagle and her just-batch eaglets storm around him. Pluto also gets plastered after a St. Bernard nurses him after his run-in with an annoying baby eagle. It's all tastefully done comedy that I've found myself laughing out loud a few times. Mickey and Donald belching out Swiss tunes at the beginning of the short was hilarious.My favorite scene is when Donald gets a rare last laugh of his own, when he gives a ramming goat a taste of his own medicine. Love this cartoon - one of the better ones! Grade A

Sheena-Reid We saw this cartoon at Disney Caribbean Beach recently and our 7 year old daughter loved it. We would love to get it on DVD or tape. The cartoon went round with some others in a loop and we looked forward to seeing this one every day. I and my husband also loved it. Very cleverly done and lovely cameos. Mickey who is leading the climb, starts yodelling, and Donald repeats the tune in his inimitable style. Nobody sings like Donald Duck! Pluto has to be hoisted up behind them, and is not amused. Usual trouble ensues. The trio are rescued by a St. Bernard. The rum barrel is emptied during the shenanigans and all are happy in the end!!!

Shawn Watson The typical chaos that follows Mickey and Donald everywhere provide most of the laughs in this cartoon. They're climbing the Alps and literally dragging Pluto behind them. Donald decides to mad at a little mountain goat for some reason, Mickey attempts the ridiculously evil crime of stealing an eagles eggs and Pluto ends up freezing and being rescued by one of those mountain dwelling St. Bernards with the barrel of booze (do these really exist btw?).It's 10 minutes of putting the characters through as much aggravation as possible withing their environment. A lot of Mickey/Donald cartoons are like this and this one is nothing special.

soymilk A very enjoyable, if slightly raucous early short from Walt, 'Alpine Climbers' follows our boys Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto the dog as they journey through the Alps and endure a series of misadventures with the local fauna, including a mother eagle, two mountain goats and a rescue St. Bernard. I have some pretty distinct memories of watching it several times over in my childhood, and have always adored it, if only for the scenes between Pluto and the aforementioned St. Bernard who, in a drunken state, he falls completely in love with (and whose gender, incidentally, is never specified, though I guess it isn't too important!) I just can't resist the moment where he gets triple vision and erroneously believes that the bewildered rescue aid dog is returning his suggestive gestures – well face it, no one does mute comedy quite as Pluto does. And the St. Bernard's character design is a pleasure.Overall though, Pluto's story makes up only a very small aspect of 'Alpine Climbers', and to be perfectly honest the rest is pretty much take or leave. It's certainly entertaining, and works neatly as a showcase of all three characters' defining dispositions – Mickey as the mellow straight man, Donald as the temperamental angry man, and Pluto as the naïve sweetie (he's just so darn cute!). At the same time, it's interesting to watch from a retrospective point of view just to see the more old school character designs. Still, though the skits involving Mickey and Donald are amusing enough in their own right, really there's just too much of the generic slapstick and calamity you can find in any number of these cartoon shorts, which does give it a somewhat undistinguished tone. That said, it's always delightful to see Donald fly by using his tail feathers as a propeller – that's inspired genius, plan and simple!In my eyes, 'Alpine Climbers' is definitely deserving of its classic status, though it's mostly thanks to the input of Pluto and that gorgeous St. Bernard – a subplot which is just brimming with cuteness and charm. In between, there are some pretty noteworthy lessons to be picked up on about interfering with the local ecosystems of wherever you may go (again, you should never attempt to steal eagle eggs from their nests – really, I'd expect Mickey Mouse to know better than that!) Grade: A-
