action
Mickey Mouse steps out of the house in the morning when he sees Rudi Ross pulling a hay cart full of musicians. Micky rises and a little later Minnie Mouse and Klarabella Kuh join them. The happy group is disturbed when the cat Karlo suddenly appears in a car. He begins to look greedily at Minni and gets angry when the jealous Mickey replaces Minni with Klarabella. The cat Karlo grabs Minni and rams Rudi's hay cart with his car. Rudi and Micky are thrown to the cinema screen and fall to the floor. Karlo, seeing this, grabs them both and hurls them against the canvas until Micky and Rudi fall through a hole to the outside. They become three-dimensional, colored figures. Micky tries to get back into the two-dimensional world and to Minni, but the cat Karlo only makes fun of him and closes the hole in the canvas.
Rudi Ross, who was thrown into the audience, appears shortly afterwards in modern clothes and with a smartphone . Micky turns him into an airplane and tries to shoot Karlo the cat from the air, but he only drives around in his car with the screaming Minni. Suddenly the smartphone rings and Micky has an idea: He calls the cat Karlo. When he answers his old phone, Rudi Ross sprays a fire extinguisher into the phone and the foam escaping from his phone hinders the cat Karlo so much that he ends up in his car on a frozen lake and breaks in. He pulls Minni underwater, who calls for help. Micky pokes a hole in the screen and the cat Karlo, Minnie and the others are washed out of the black and white scenery into the modern cinema. This is followed by a turbulent chase through the holes in the screen into the old 2D and new 3D film world until the cat Karlo can capture Minnie again and disappear into the black and white world. He also succeeds in pulling up a new canvas and nailing it down.
Mickey and his friends cling to each other and let themselves be commuted to the screen. However, instead of creating a hole, they flip the canvas over. The cat Karlo and Minni fall from the ground into the sky. Mickey turns the screen again and the floor is down again. The cat Karlo hits the floor, while Minni can use her dress like a parachute. She animates Mickey and his friends to rotate the screen again. As a result, they rotate the screen both horizontally and vertically, which means a scene repetition: Karlo the cat is impaled several times by a pitchfork, lands on a cactus and is buried under his car. Minni finally drives the knocked out tomcat Karlo in the car through the screen. Mickey and Minnie hug each other and their friends cheer. They eventually pull down a new canvas in their old surroundings and stay in the black and white world. The cat Karlo, who wakes up in the new world, tries to get into the old world while the scenery is fading out and finally sticks his head in the iris diaphragm . Part of his pants fold down to reveal the words "The End".
production
The work on Get a Horse! started in late 2011 and early 2012 and lasted 18 months. Rich Moore suggested to Lauren McMullan, who was still working on Ralph Enough at the time , that they make a Mickey Mouse film. McMullan came up with the idea of keeping part of the story in the style of the old Mickey Mouse films. She herself called this an animation style that she particularly likes and in which she had also started to animate herself. The film was created as a mix of 2D and 3D computer animation, with Eric Goldberg and Adam Green acting as directors of the 2D and 3D computer animation.
The team only had the idea of dubbing Mickey Mouse from Walt Disney while they were working on the film, so the original plan was to integrate an outcry Mickey from Steamboat Willie into the film. John Lasseter , who was executive producer on the film with Michele Mazzano, was delighted with the idea of overall dubbing. As a result, the script was rewritten to take existing lines of dialogue from old Mickey Mouse films in Get a Horse! to be able to integrate. The biggest problem was Mickey's exclamation "Red ?!" when he fell into the modern world for the first time and looked at his red pants. Since early Mickey Mouse films were shot in black and white, colors played no role in the dialogues; Disney dubbed Mickey for the last time in 1946/47. The word therefore had to be cut from films by syllables, which took around two weeks. In addition to Walt Disney, original dialogues by Billy Bletcher (Kater Karlo) and Marcellite Garner (Minnie Mouse) were also included in the film. Karlo is also dubbed by Will Ryan and Minni by Russi Taylor . Oswald the funny rabbit has a cameo appearance in the film and is therefore back on the screen for the first time since the last film from 1943.
As early as April 2013, the Walt Disney Studios indirectly indicated that the film premiered at the Festival d'Animation Annecy in June would be a rediscovered and previously unreleased Mickey Mouse film from the 1920s. They indicated that it was a film that had never been shown before ("never-before-seen") and in which Mickey Mouse was also dubbed by Walt Disney. Critics took up the hints and speculated about the premiere of an old original film. At the premiere event in Annecy on June 11, 2013, Disney went even further: the producer of the film Dorothy McKim and animator Eric Goldberg gave a brief overview of the story of Mickey Mouse and showed the films Steamboat Willie and Plane Crazy . Lauren MacMullan then appeared on stage and was introduced as the head of the restoration department at Disney. She described how she found old Mickey film material from a collector 18 months ago that could be dated to 1928. The film shown in Annecy is a restored version of the material. The actual background to the making of the film was only explained after the screening. Lauren McMullan took a similar approach at the second presentation of the film on August 9th at the D23 Expo in Anaheim , where she introduced herself as a lab technician at Disney.
Get a horse! started on November 27, 2013 as a supporting film for Disney's Frozen - Totally Unabashedly in US cinemas and the following day in German cinemas as well. After Mickey Monster Mouse from 1995, it was the first Mickey Mouse film to be shown in theaters.
