Steamboat Willie (1928)

"Steamboat Willie is a 1928 American animated short film directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. It was produced in black and white by Walt Disney Animation Studios and was released by Pat Powers, under the name of Celebrity Productions. The cartoon is considered the public debut of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, although both appeared months earlier in a test screening of Plane Crazy and the then unreleased The Gallopin' Gaucho. Steamboat Willie is the third of Mickey's films to have been produced, but it is the first to have been distributed, because Disney had seen The Jazz Singer (1927) and became determined to produce one of the first fully synchronized sound cartoons." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steamboat_Willie "Mickey Mouse is a mischievous deckhand on a riverboat that is under the command of the tyrannical Captain Pete." https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0019422/plotsummary https://archive.org/details/steamboat-willie_1928 NB: this film becoming public domain was big news, e
