Tugboat Mickey (1940): cast, story & where to watch

1940 · Film · ★ 6.3

Released in 1940, Tugboat Mickey is a comedy, family and animation film directed by Clyde Geronimi, running about 7 minutes. “Mickey captains a tugboat with Donald and Goofy as the crew.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Mickey is performing routine maintenance on his tugboat (with interference from a pelican) when a call comes on the radio that there's a sinking ship needing assistance. Sadly, Mickey's crew consists of Donald and Goofy, so getting underway to help is not easy. Goofy has to fight a boiler's door to get it stoked with coal (and when he succeeds, he overfills it) and Donald gets tangled up in the machinery. Not to mention that nobody casts off, so they drag half the dock along with them. The overworked boiler soon explodes.

Who’s in it. Tugboat Mickey stars Walt Disney as Mickey Mouse (voice) (uncredited), Pinto Colvig as Goofy (voice) (uncredited), Danny Webb as Goofy (voice) (uncredited) and Clarence Nash as Donald Duck (voice) (uncredited).

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.3/10, Tugboat Mickey has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
