Mickey's first adventure into ever extending copyright

Steamboat Willie (1928)

Directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks this is the first released cartoon staring one Mickey Mouse. As the captain of a steam boat our hero finds himself in various scrapes.

Despite having a titanic reputation not a lot stands out about this film and it is more famous for being the first Mickey and Minnie Mouse cartoon than anything else. There are funny moments along the way but not an overly remarkable amount. Having sound makes this a break through cartoon but the animation style is not that impressive for the period.


3/5
