If this was released today, Mickey Mouse would be getting sued for just about everything! :rofl:

Captain Pete, the "bad guy", just wants Mickey to do his job. Meanwhile Minnie is a stowaway, and Mickey abuses every animal on the ship. And I think he might have killed that bird! Different times!

The animation holds up, if you're into that kind of really old cartoon style (which I am), and it's pretty fun. However, I feel like it overstayed its welcome, and probably could have been a couple of minutes shorter... maybe cutting out half of the animal abuse music-making would have worked in its favour.

But hey, the '20s were a different time, so I won't entirely fault Disney for that. When all is said and done, it's a fun short.

[6/10] I’m sure there’s tons and tons of Citizen Kane Effect going on here, but wow, this did not make much of an impression on me. It’s half pretty dull gags and half a spate of musical animal abuse. I’m sure it was impressive at the time, and seeing early appearances from some of Disney’s most noteworthy characters has some historical interest, but there’s not much that rises above the level of “mildly entertaining here.” A few visual gags (like the cow-feeding) get a mild chuckle, but that’s about it.

Still, we all have to crawl before we can walk, and the short carries interest, if for no other reason, as fodder for the realization that the grand multimedia reach of the company today started amid humble beginnings like these.

Steamboat Willie is a hand-drawn animated short film directed by Walt Disney. This cartoon is considered to be the debut of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, but this is incorrect. Both Minnie and Mickey appeared in Plane Crazy.

Steamboat Willie is especially notable for being the first Disney cartoon with synchronized sound.

My favourite scene was when Mickey gets shot in the face with milk by a Cow..

The music here was great and the way that Mickey turned the other animals into instruments was both traumatising and interesting at the same time.

The historical value of this short is undeniable, but I just didn't enjoy it that much.
