Disney's become such a vast spinoff empire over the last 90 years, that it's easy to forget that what it all spun off from is this early sound cartoon featuring the first screen appearance of Mickey Mouse. Watch it with "Fantasia" (1940) for a sense of how radically movie animation would evolve in the decade that followed.
