Thank you for posting this to YouTube. It should be pointed out that everything was done by hand back in 1928. The backgrounds were drawn by hand. The individual images that were put together to make the animation were hand drawn on celluloid, and called cels. The sound and the music were created by real people. No computers existed back then for any part of the production process. It was true art every step of the way in the production.

Would you believe that that whistle that Mickey Mouse makes is the first sound ever made by a cartoon character in all of history?

The public domain is a wonderful thing!
-
I see this as a great cultural advance, people from all over the world can now have access to this material, since at that time technology was not as accessible as it is today.

Pete's like I'm the captain now.

How I recall when I'd first seen this and how it returns those memories of when I'd first seen it too.They're great memories of both this and the memories associated with this cartoon too.

Very interesting how this is almost 100 years old

I never realized how much animal cruelty there was in this short!🤣

The Simpsons traded this copyright for a liver and onions meme .

It's weird how the bulk of this cartoon is just Mickey abusing animals while offensive folk music plays

I can't wait to play Mickey's Steamboat Simulator on Steam.
