Disney's Steamboat Willie - short animation from 1928
Steamboat Willie, title parodied from Buster Keaton's Steamboat Bill jr, released the same year. I do love Disney's classic animation, this cartoon is pretty significant and seeing as it was released in 1928 I had to post it! It was the third cartoon to feature Mickey Mouse and the first Disney cartoon with full synchronized sound.. It features Mickey doing some weird things with animals, the scenes with the cat and piglets in particular are bizarre, as Mickey uses all the animals as musical instruments. Still fun to watch, its only 7mins long so you might find yourself watching it a few times over.
Watch it here in all its restored glory: (Walt Disney used his own voice for the noises of Mickey, Minnie and The parrot)
