My favorite Mickey cartoons are the ones which are more story and character focused rather than the ones which seem to be mildly entertaining musical numbers with a little bit of plot sandwiched in-between. I also love it when Mickey plays the hero and has to use his cunning and bravery to get out of situations. He's much more interesting when this side is allowed to be shown in addition to his everyman personality. All of this can be found in "The Fire Fighters".
The story is simple: Mickey and his motley crew of firefighters have to stop a fire in an apartment building, as well as rescue Minnie who's stuck on the top floor. There's plenty of great gags packed in there. The pacing is tight; this cartoon never once drags like the more musical-themed ones do. And the ending is very cute, showing why Mickey and Minnie are such an adorable couple (which makes me wonder why they have yet to tie the knot). Anyways, great cartoon. Watch it.
