Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFirst cartoon in which Mickey Mouse has eyes with pupils (altough storyboard sketches, as well as the theatrical release poster, still used his original design). The new design was made for The Sorcerer's Apprentice, which was produced first but shelved for inclusion in Fantasia (1940). Also features shading on Mickey's cheeks and Pluto's body, additions too expensive to use again.
- Quotes
[when Mickey and Pluto come across some quail, instead of pointing, an overeager Pluto runs in and flushes the quail out]
Mickey Mouse: [angrily] You big lug - think you're smart, don't you?
[Pluto nods]
Mickey Mouse: Well, you're not!
[Pluto shakes his head in agreement, then looks shocked]
Mickey Mouse: I told you not to move, you big palooka.
[Pluto looks ashamed]
Mickey Mouse: You're a fine hunting dog - scaring everything away. Haven't you got any sense? You dumbbell. You bonehead, you sap! I'm ashamed of you. You're just a mutt.

Mickey goes quail hunting, using an enthusiastic Pluto as THE POINTER to find the quarry. Bad idea...
This excellent little film, which was nominated for an Oscar, is hilarious, with first rate animation and plenty of action. Walt Disney provides Mickey with his unique voice; this was the first Mouse cartoon in which the Disney artists drew Mickey with pupils in his eyes.
Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
