Mickey's Rival
Mickey's rival, Mortimer, strives for Minnie's affections.
Directed by Wilfred Jackson
Produced by Walt Disney Productions
A lighthearted 1930s cartoon romp built entirely on slapstick comedy, romantic jealousy, and absurdist physical gags.
Minnie's old friend, Mortimer Mouse, drops in on Mickey and Minnie's picnic. His practical jokes and coming on to Minnie soon have Mickey stewing, and their car isn't happy either. When Mortimer gets a nearby bull enraged and takes off, the car comes to the rescue after Mickey gets tangled up in a red blanket.
