The incomparable trio of Mickey, Donald and Goofy team up in this early color Disney short with the task of cleaning a giant clock tower. Mickey has to deal with an uncooperative, sleepyhead stork; Donald comes up against a stubborn mainspring, and Goofy gets his bell rung in a fun cartoon that's bound to delight folks of all ages. Of the three very early color Disney cartoons I've just seen ("The Band Concert" and "Thru the Mirror" are the others), this is the first one I could actually understand what Donald Duck was saying, although captioning did help with my hearing. The early sequence involving all those clock gears reminded me a bit of 2011's "Hugo" film, and in appropriate fashion, it appears the three Disney friends get their own clocks cleaned to wind down the story.
