Steamboat Willie (1928)

 

The 3rd Film for Mickey and Minnie

It is said that Steamboat Willie (1928) is Mickey and Minnie's first film - that is not true. The first film the pair was in is a short called 'Plane Crazy (1928)' and the second film for them is 'The Gallopin' Gaucho (1928)'. Steamboat Willie is actually the third film for both Mickey and Minnie. Steamboat Willie is still an important film for Disney because it's the first time synchronized sound was used.

The animation is fairly cute as Mickey is first mate to the cruel Captain Pete and a lot of frolicking is going on. The short is worth watching if you are interested in some Disney history.

7/10.
