Steamboat Willie


Steamboat Willie is an animated short produced by Walt Disney Animated Studios (back then known as) Disney Brothers Studio. It was also directed by Walt Disney and was the first cartoon to introduce the now iconic Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. Upon release it received widespread critical acclaim for its technical achievements. It was also the first short to feature a synchronised sound. Since its release it's legacy has lived on and it is even featured in the logo for Walt Disney Animation Studios.


This traditional 2D style is highly regarded as are these shorts. Shown before the film Frozen was an animated Walt Disney classic cartoon from the golden age called 'Get a Horse'. The 2013 film features actual archive recordings of Walt Disney's voice playing Mickey and incorporates both traditional 2D animation and 3D CGI.
