Comments

From Jerry Edwards : An enjoyable cartoon with lots of action and gags. I enjoy one gag of Mickey using a stuffed swordfish against Pete's sword. The opening scene of the ship sailing on the ocean is especially nicely animated. The colorized version is nice, especially for giving color to the ocean.

From Ryan : This short kind of looks like something out of the Disney comics. The picture itself looks kind of like a comic. One scene I liked was where Mickey grabs a swordfish and uses that to fight Pete with. Pretty good short with lots of fun gags and action.

From Austin Long : The animation is outstanding for its time. The whole pirate theme suits Pete very well, and the idea of Mickey and Minnie trying to escape makes this very thrilling experience among Disney shorts. Can't miss; 4 and a half stars.

I have seen "Shanghaied" and would like to
