Segment 7143 in As Loud as a Mouse: Mickey’s Sonic Debut in Steamboat Willie (1928) Speed Zone: 160 - 179 WPM
Walt Disney and his chief animator Ub Iwerks needed something to distinguish their cartoons from competitors, after two previous Mickey Mouse shorts failed to find a distributor earlier that year. And they bet it all on sound. While Iwerks drew almost every frame himself using cel animation, Disney accomplished the sound design with the help of a dime store, scooping buckets, bells, and cans into his shopping cart.
