Comments

One gag which has Julius luring fish to the top of the ice with tobacco and then clubbing them when they come up was reused by Goofy in the 1935 short, "On Ice."

From Ryan : Alice skips her piano lesson to go fishing with her friends. While they are fishing, she tells them of her adventures in the Arctic. One fun gag I enjoy is where Julius uses chewing tobacco as bait to catch the fish. He then clubs them. This same gag, as stated above, has been reused in the 1935 Mickey cartoon "On Ice." I also like how Alice and Julius feed the Eskimos like seals.

I have seen "Alice's Fishy Story" and would like to
