Musical Mouse
Eighty years ago this month, Mickey Mouse appeared in Steamboat Willie. The groundbreaking, seven-minute cartoon was Mickey’s first big break. It made him a star.
Steamboat Willie was the first cartoon to use a synchronized soundtrack throughout. It’s a marvel of musical imagination. It’s delightful and funny.
