Get a Horse! (2013)
9/10
A really imaginative short . . .
5 December 2013
Warning: Spoilers
. . . currently coupled with FROZEN, "GET A HORSE" is a winner in its own right. With its ever-quicker transitions from black & white old-style Stick Figurish type 'Toons to a full-color cartoon environment of more full-figured characters, this 5-minute, 56-second exercise in sophisticated animation not only keeps the viewer entranced, but also guessing what might happen next. Though the bullies in attendance may find Minnie's torture of Peg-Leg Pete beyond the pale, people of this ilk are the single American subgroup that currently is lucky to have even ONE leg left to stand on. Now that Disney has purchased the Marvel Comics movie money-making machine, it is no surprise to find an instance of cross-marketing here, as one of these retro characters is wearing a CAPTAIN AMER!CA T-shirt. However, product placement aside, this short tops messages to turn off your cell phone and ads to buy $40 worth of pop, candy, and popcorn at the concession stand any day of the week.
