17th in the Mickey Mouse shorts canon is Just Mickey. If you couldn't already tell, this film stars just Mickey with no appearances by any other characters.
The film has a great opening with violinist Mickey walking from one end of the stage to the other. The resulting effect looks a bit amateur compared with today's standards of course, but it's still a great piece of almost 3-D animation.
The toon basicly showcases Mickey playing different tunes on his violin. The animation of the Mouse is done exceptionally well; a favorite part for me is another almost 3-D scene with Mickey's bow.
Another great effect is the use of shadows as created by the spotlight. It's just another example of how more and more detailed these toons are starting to become.
The toon ends with Mickey playing the finale from the "William Tell Overture" to thunderous applause.While nothing really special, Just Mickey is a decent toon with very convincing animation.
