I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

not horrible nor great

Great Film overall

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

MADE DURING WHAT was probably the zenith of the Mickey/Donald/Goofy stint as the Disney Studios' answer to the screen comedy team. The beauty of the shorts were indeed becoming a victim to their own achievement; as well as providing a springboard to the up and coming succession of full length animated features. (SNOW WHITE, PINNOCHOIO, FANTASIA, BAMBI, DUMBO, etc.) MUCH LIKE SO many other entries in the series, the premise is at once both simple yet somehow quite brilliant in its execution. The "plot" of such a short calls for each of the comic threesome starts out together and shares several other sight-gag laden scenes. The action typically gives two sequences each to the three individually.AS FOR THE unique aspects of this entry, it lies in the tranquility generated by a seascape (even an artificial & animated one). Never has "Going Down To The Sea In Ships" has never done in such surroundings, being rendered in the most richly hued Technicolor filming imaginable.AS IS THE norm, the short ends up with the protagonists no further ahead in their construction of the boat from model-type kit. And it is this that leaves our comic trio of on screen heroes ready to fight another day.

*****Some Spoilers******When I saw Meet The Robinsons I saw this little fun short with it. I actually quite enjoyed this, but to be frank, I like Steamboat Willie .0001% better. Still, this is fun and a prime example of how simple things could and would be back in the twenties and thirties.Here is the basis. Mickey Mouse, Daffy Duck, and Goofy are back again for another task. This time they are building a huge Titanic-like ship. The only problem is that they are not the best boat builders in the world, especially Goofy. Mayhem occurs throughout their attempt to make a good ship. Here is the real question though. Can they possibly pull it off?Overall, this is a good short. It is actually one of the best shorts before a Pixar film that I have ever seen. It is enjoyable, and trust me, you will get a kick out of it. Anyway, this is good, clean fun.9/10Recommended Shorts: Steamboat Willie.

Before VHS tape and DVD technology, many old movies and old cartoons were re-released every few years. I was a preteen in the early 1950's and vividly remember first seeing the 1938 "Boat Builders" just before a Roy Rogers Saturday matinée flick at the local theater. It was the funniest cartoon I had ever seen. I laughed aloud continually through the entire seven minutes as Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and their animated friends build a boat and launch it with outrageous slapstick humor aplenty. The whole audience joined me in the laughter. Several years later I watched "Boat Builders" again. It was still funny and enjoyable, the animation still amazing. I'm rating this cartoon from the standpoint of a preteen. For youngsters yesterday, today, and tomorrow, this one is a winner.

If Mickey, Donald and Goofy build themselves a boat ('so easy even a child can do it') do you REALLY think that by the end of the cartoon it is still going to be standing? Obviously not.Their usual lack of skill and ignorance for each other's well-being cause enough problems during the actual building of said boat but it is when Minnie christens the boat 'Queen Minnie' that all their hard work slaps them in the face.And who would have known that Goofy was dumb enough to think a figurehead is a real lady and fall in love with her.Mildy amusing.
