Film Synopsis:    Steamboat Willie & Other Animated Short Films

In 1928, Disney's Steamboat Willie introduced the now-beloved character of Mickey Mouse to audiences as a shipmate on a steamboat captained by a surly cat. This short black-and-white animated film also changed cartoon history as one of the very first cartoons with a fully synchronized soundtrack. 

Along with Steamboat Willie, the Gaslamp Museum at the Davis-Horton House will also be showcasing several other classic animated short films from Disney's Silly Symphony series, including:

• The Skeleton Dance
• Summer
• Frolicking Fish
• Hell's Bells
• and more!
