Correction: I state in the video that the version of Steamboat Willie on Disney+ is the censored version that also appears on the Walt Disney Animation Studios KZread channel. This is not accurate. Disney+ has the uncensored version. I watched both versions (Disney+ and KZread) while writing this video, and I'm not sure how I made this mistake, but I did. Thanks to @EdalgmWasTaken for pointing out this mistake.

Mickey had pretty much saved Walt Disney’s life and career..Mickey is a good luck icon, and in my eyes.. a comfort friend to look up to whenever you have a rough day or to make you smile

Agreed.

Considering the fact that Plane Crazy was originally silent and the title card says "Sound Cartoon", there is probably a lost original title card

This is accurate. I don't know if the original title card survived or not, though.

I like the commitment to this entire video being in black and white.

Thanks!

watching people in the past saying stuff like "Would sound work on a cartoon" makes me think of how hilarious it would be to go back in time to explain how it not only works, but is also obligatory, needing dedicated voice actors who would charge thousands of dollars, even tens of thousands if the correlation between character and actor was huge and popular among the audience, and even more if the voice actor is a celebrity.

its crazy how Mickey started off as a bit of an asshole and now he's seen as wholesome

Awesome! Didn't know the whole struggle Walt went through those days.

Steamboat is basically the "third time the charm" story.

OH MY, SUCH A CAREFULLY CRAFTED VIDEO 🎉❤ I feel this vid is so underrated, I hope the algorithm do it's thing more sooner than later! Either way thanks for such a detailed recount of events, it's quite sad there hasn't been a proper documentary focus on WHY was steamboat willie such a hit in it's time, I feel most people fail to give the cultural context of it's creation when diving on it, thus losing much out of such an interesting story behind it's creation Also loved how you pretty much did a quick but nice review out of the three first shorts and I laughed at some of the comentary notes you put while playing the shorts Please keep the good work! ❤

The funny thing about Charles Mintz is he actually caught Hell from Universal for letting Walt go, just to create the sucessful Mickey Mouse, and they basically ordered Mintz to try and get Disney back. Mintz still f'ed it up by telling Walt that Universal would still own the mouse, and Walt's paycheck would still be small. Mintz was soon let go from Universal as it was clear he sucked at negotiating. Granted there were a couple other problems between Mintz and Universal, but losing, and failing to get Disney back was like a "last straw" for them.

This is only partly true. Walt Disney negotiated directly with Universal after his departure, and not with Mintz, although he did run into him in the Universal offices. The reason Mintz was let go was because two of his animators, Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising, went straight to Universal president Carl Laemmle and asked to be promoted and replace Mintz, but Laemmle just fired everyone and put Walter Lantz in charge of Oswald. Obviously, Mintz's loss of Walt Disney probably played a role in that decision.

Hell yeah! I just watched your Oswald video a few days ago and I subscribed. I was glad to see this one pop up.

7:06 So Charles Muntz in Up was based on these two people? Charles Lindbergh and Charles Mintz? One a initially friendly seeming swindler and the other an explorer/pilot? Interesting.

I just watched it on there to confirm, and yeah, you're right. When I watched it on there during my research process, I could swear it was the censored version. I don't know whether they updated it or I just remembered it wrong.

i can tell this video has a lot of effort put in, i'm hoping the algorithm boosts you up :)

Great video! I can tell you did your research by pointing out how a lot of Walt’s stories are exaggerations of reality. One minor thing though, when you open a sentence saying you’re about to quote a person, I don’t think you need to end the sentence with their name, as you’ve already conveyed who you’re quoting from
