GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Brave Little Tailor" is Walt Disney's take on the David vs. Goliath story. Mickey plays the main character and manages to kill seven flies at once. Sadly the townsfolk misunderstand and believe he killed seven giants at one. And as there is a giant coming closer to terrorize the place, Mickey is appointed to protect everybody. Oh well.. maybe it would have been better if he hadn't managed to kill a single one of these flies. Anyway, now he is in deep trouble and we see him go against the giant. Back in 1939, 4 of 5 nominees at the Oscars for Best Cartoon were Disney movies. This one was among them, but lost to "Ferdinand the Bull". I would say these two are on par in terms of quality, both good watches, but neither among Disney's best really. Still I recommend them and the thing I found the funniest here was maybe that all the townspeople looked a lot like Goofy. The director and the actor who voiced the giant worked on a couple real Disney classics such as Bambi and Dumbo. The actress who voices Minnie did so in many other cartoons. And then, of course there is Walt Disney's unique Mickey voice. It's a really good team and one of the reasons why this one here succeeded. Recommended.

TheLittleSongbird Not my favourite, but up there. The animation is mostly excellent with beautiful colours and fluid backgrounds. The character designs aren't quite up there, but they are acceptable. The music has always been one of my favourite assets about these Silly Symphonies, and because it is so jaunty and energetic here Brave Little Tailor is no exception. The writing is funny with the parts with the giant amusing and I loved it when Minnie kisses Mickey and the story is charming. Mickey is a very cute and likable hero, and all the support characters make an impression while never bland. All in all, a great cartoon. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) This is one of the best (and well-known) Mickey cartoons of all time. And it's also another cartoon where Mickey goes against a giant like in the 1933 short "Giantland" and "Mickey and The Beanstalk" for the 1947 film "Fun and Fancy Free". Also this cartoon is a favorite of mine. The short is based on the fairy-tale by The Grimm Brothers with Mickey as the tailor who killed seven flies "with one blow!" Of course, everyone mistook the flies for seven giants and they thought Mickey is a giant-killer. The short was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Subject; but the award went to the short "Ferdinand The Bull." I love the main title theme music. Also I love the scene where everyone spreads the story of Mickey killing seven giants. And the rumor then reaches the ears of the king and his daughter Princess Minnie.

Robert Reynolds This short, nominated for an Oscar for 1938, is the best color Mickey Mouse short, certainly and maybe the best short ever starring this most illustrious of rodents. Because of a misapprehension of a simple declarative sentence, our stalwart sets out on a course to become a somewhat reluctant hero. Well-executed and with Disney's usual attention to detail, this is an excellent cartoon, but it had the great misfortune to come out in the same year as an equally marvelous cartoon (also made by Disney) and so did not bring home the statuette for Walt. Most recommended.
