MICKEY MOUSE IN BLACK AND WHITE

See the legendary first film appearances of Mickey Mouse that made him an international sensation!

Before Walt’s classic animated feature films such as SNOW WHITE, before Walt’s revolutionary use of Technicolor, before the Wonderful World of Disney television show, before Disney Land and the Walt Disney World Resorts, before almost everything that Walt would build into his world-famous entertainment studio, there was a feisty, fun-loving little character that captured the world’s heart – Mickey Mouse!

Audiences first saw Mickey Mouse in black and white films, and the 2-disc DVD WALT DISNEY TREASURES: WAVE 2 collection follows Mickey’s timeless adventures from his very first on-screen appearance in "Steamboat Willie" (1928) through the last of his black and white shorts, "Mickey's Service Station" (1935). "Steamboat Willie" also represents the historic first use of synchronized sound in animation.

Many of the famous Disney gang of animated characters made first or early appearances in Mickey's films, and the WALT DISNEY TREASURES: WAVE 2 DVDs feature the historic original appearances of Mickey, Minnie Mouse, Pluto and Goofy.
