From Beast Kingdom. The black-and-white short film Steamboat Willie, initially released in New York City's Colony Theater on November 18, 1928, is notable for being the first Disney animated film with synchronized sound and film. The cartoon illustrates the rascally adventures of the playful Mickey while he is working on his steamboat. Cleverly coupled with memorable tunes, the film successfully brought joy to the masses and is still a hallmark of movie magic to this day. Featuring Mickey and his soon-to-be lifelong love, Minnie, D-Stage - DS-017EX - Steamboat Willie shows Mickey whistling away with joy as they both approach the lake of love! The statue has a simple, uniform design, and this exclusive version is painted in Black and white for a truly authentic appearance! A must-have statue for any collector of timeless pieces based on iconic animated movies.
