Boat Builders

Mickey buys a boat kit, and enlists Goofy and Donald to help assemble it. The plans say, “so simple a child could do it”, so of course, they have their share of troubles. But before long, they’re ready to launch the Queen Minnie, with appropriate fanfare, at which time, all the collapsible parts collapse.

Mickey, Donald and Goofy together, each failing at the same task in his own characteristic way — the format that the studio had spent a decade working out and which is arguably its finest comic invention. Mickey is optimistic, Donald is furious, Goofy is serene, and the boat is doomed. The trio shorts are where the three personalities are cleanest.
