Alpine Climbers

Alpine Climbers (1936)

Donald, Mickey, and Pluto climb the Alps. While up top, Donald has a run-in with a mountain goat over some edelweiss, Mickey has a row with an eagle over its eggs; one of them hatches, and gives Pluto some trouble (as does the grog a Saint Bernard gives him when he falls into a snowbank).

Interesting facts

Alpine Climbers is a 1936 American animated short film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by United Artists. The cartoon follows Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto as they climb the side of a mountain. The film was directed by David Hand and includes the voices of Walt Disney as Mickey, Clarence Nash as Donald and Lee Millar as Pluto. It was the ninth Mickey Mouse short to be released that year. As a work published in 1936 and a proper renewal notice filed within 28 years, the short will enter the American public domain in 2032.

Production

This is the only known Disney cartoon to feature animation by Carl Barks, an American cartoonist later known for his Donald Duck comics. One scene involving an Eagle flying was reworked with Walt Disney's input after he suggested the Eagle looked too human.
