Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Mickey & Minnie 10 Classic Shorts – Volume 1 is a new collection of ten classic animated shorts, together for the first time! This fun new collection includes the original “Steamboat Willie,” and a few other classic, fun shorts. This release is part of the celebration for Disney’s 100th anniversary.
Celebrate 100 magical years of Disney with this collectible compilation of animated shorts! Mickey and Minnie share their memories in new introductions to these 10 wonderful stories, which have entertained generations of children and adults alike. Included is the iconic “Steamboat Willie,” the first cartoon with synchronized sound, in which the character of Mickey Mouse was first introduced as a deckhand on a riverboat commanded by the tyrannical Captain Pete.
Also included are “Brave Little Tailor,” featuring Mickey as a medieval tailor given a daunting task. In “Mickey’s Delayed Date,” the tardy mouse relies on his faithful pup Pluto to get him to a dance with Minnie. “Hawaiian Holiday” finds Mickey and his pals vacationing on a beautiful island. Then along with friends, Mickey and Minnie glide through a romantic date on a frozen river in “On Ice.” And catch five more delightful stories in this legacy collection.
Mickey & Minnie 10 Classic Shorts – Volume 1 includes:
- Steamboat Willie
- The Brave Little Tailor
- Little Whirlwind
- Mickey’s Delayed Date
- On Ice
- Hawaiian Holiday
- Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip
- Figaro & Frankie
- Bath Day
- Thru the Mirror
This new collection plays more like a movie than a collection of shorts. The ability to select the short you wish to watch is not available. Mickey and Minnie narrate in between each short, reminiscing memories. Since this is a nod to the Disney100 celebration, these “in-between” moments are presented as Mickey and Minnie are flipping through a scrapbook.
The idea for this collection is adorable, and these classic shorts are definitely worth adding to your collection. Mickey & Minnie 10 Classic Shorts – Volume 1 is available in stores and online now
