The Band Concert
In "The Disney Films", Leonard Maltin said that "The Band Concert" is "one of the best cartoons ever made anywhere... There are nuances of expression in Mickey's character throughout this film that had seldom been explored in earlier shorts. The pacing is also entirely different from the standard Mickey Mouse comedies of the early thirties. Instead of trying to pack in a thousand gags a minute, "The Band Concert" takes its time and builds to a crescendo."
