Steamboat Willie was first released on November 18, 1928, in New York and is consider the birth of Mickey Mouse. In honor of that first distributed Mickey Mouse short we will see a special called “The Birthday Song” in the new animated short style.
MICKEY MOUSE SHORTS – In honor of Mickey’s birthday, a special “Mickey Mouse” short titled “The Birthday Song” premieres Saturday November 18 at 9:25 a.m. PT on Disney Channel. In the episode, Minnie Mouse loses the notes to Mickey’s birthday song and needs to recover them to save the festivities.
We just love the new Mickey Mouse shorts, they give us a feeling for the original Mickey Mouse cartoons in both story and visuals. We look forward to watching a new one whenever they come out and the fact that they are coordinating this one specifically for Mickey Mouse’s birthday is great. In the episode we will see Minnie Mouse losing the notes to Mickey’s special birthday song, and how can you have a party without the birthday song? Minnie will need to find the notes to the birthday song in time to save the party.
We all feel a bit like these shorts are what is going to be used to model the new ride over at Hollywood Studios, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. What this means is there is going to be a fun ride featuring both Mickey and Minnie Mouse and people who watch these shorts on the Disney Channel will have a way to interact with the show via the ride.
