Trivia
"Mickey's Amateurs" from 1937 pokes fun at "amateur hour" radio shows which were popular entertainment in the 1930's and 1940's. Perhaps the most famous example is the "Major Bowes Amateur Hour" in which the Host, Edward Bowes, was known to strike a gong to stop an Amateur performance. Mickey Mouse's repeating of the words "Okay, okay" in the Cartoon was recognized by Audiences at the time as a parody of Bowes.

Goofy's act was the best of the amateur show.

In this cartoon short, Mickey hosts an radio show where Donald, Goofy, Clara Cluck and Clarabelle Cow each put on amateur acts. Donald forgets the lyrics to Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, while Clara Cluck attempts to pluck out a song while Clarabelle Cow plays on the piano. These two acts weren't very entertaining and was pretty predictable, but Goofy comes in and blows the show away in my opinion, putting on the most entertaining act that had him playing multiple instruments at one time.

It wasn't a very funny cartoon but it's nice seeing some of Disney's most popular characters come together to put on a radio show in this cartoon short.
