Mickey's Revue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mickey's Revue is a 1932 Walt Disney cartoon directed by Wilfred Jackson this short features Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow performing another song and dance show. Mickey and his gang's animated shorts by this point routinely featured song and dance numbers. It begins as a typical Mickey cartoon of the time, but what would set this short apart from all that had come before was the appearance of a new character, whose behavior served as a running gag. This cartoon introduced Dippy Dawg (later to be known as Goofy), as he was named by Disney artists, as a member of the audience. He constantly irritated his fellow spectators by noisily crunching peanuts and laughing loudly, till two of those fellow spectators knocked him out with their mallets.
