Building a Building
Mickey operates a steam shovel on a busy construction site.
Directed by David Hand
Produced by Walt Disney Productions
A lighthearted 1930s cartoon short built on slapstick chaos, romantic rivalry, and physical comedy at a construction site.
Mickey's a shovel operator and laborer at a construction site; Minnie is delivering box lunches; Pete is the foreman. Mickey pays more attention to Minnie than to his work, and keeps having accidents (mostly involving the blueprints Pete is holding). Pete steals Mickey's lunch, so Minnie offers him one on the house. While he's eating, Pete kidnaps Minnie; Mickey fights him, but the tide turns when Minnie dumps a load of hot rivets into Pete's pants...
