Mickey works at a construction site, running an excavator. It's lunchtime and Minnie comes to the construction site, who sells lunches. Conflict flares up when evil foreman Pitt tries to kidnap Minnie.
The funniest thing is that the cartoon produced by Disney Studios about the adventures of Mickey Mouse on the construction site is almost a literal remake of one of the series about the adventures of Oswald Rabbit. But, despite the similarity of the plots, director David Hand, under the leadership of Disney, gave Mickey a completely different character of behavior than Oswald.
In this cartoon, it is already noticeable that the characters are better drawn, compared to earlier animated films starring Mickey Mouse and his friends. Cartoon characters are more expressive, with good drawing of plastics and details, in contrast to early cartoons, where some moments of animation did not correspond to real proportions or were drawn schematically. Achievements in animation are visible to the naked eye, especially in the most mobile scenes of the cartoon.
The cartoon was nominated for an Academy Award in the short animation category, but lost to another Disney cartoon.
It is also worth considering that the cartoon was created and released on screens during the Depression, so the funny and satirical tone, as well as allusions to the life of an ordinary American hard worker, were to support the spirit of fun and inspiration in the audience.
For the current viewer, the cartoon may seem a little archaic, but as a small animated sketch of life of the 30s, performed by Disney characters, and just a fun uncomplicated cartoon will do.
