Building A Building
"Building a Building" is the ideal cartoon. It has everything-- romance, action, suspense, a chase, and a song. My favorite part is when Minnie takes pity on Mickey for having his lunch stolen. After that, Pete captures Minnie, so Mickey does everything he can to rescue her. Pete attacks them, but eventually falls into a big construction disaster. This is my favorite black and white Mickey cartoon. You can see it on the "Mickey Mouse in Black and White" DVD.
