Saturday Morning Cartoons – Karnival Kid (1929)
This short movie featuring Mickey Mouse is milestone in Disney history for several reasons. It features the very first time that Mickey Mouse speaks in a animated short. Voiced by Walt Disney himself, Mickey Mouse utters those 2 now legendary words, “Hot Dog”! This short is a milestone not for any artistic reason, but for the merchandising. It features a scene (shown above) where Mickey tips his ears to Minnie. Inspired by this scene, story man Roy Williams invented what is probably the most recognizable piece of Disney merchandise ever; the Mickey Mouse ears hat.
