Daily Video — “Steamboat Willie, 1928”

Happy 87th Birthday MICKEY MOUSE!  On this date in 1928, according to the Disney Wiki, Steamboat Willie, the first cartoon starring the famous mouse, and arguable, the first cartoon ever with synchronized sound, was released. From these humble beginnings, an entertainment empire was born.  As Walt always said, “”I only hope that we don’t lose sight of one thing – that it was all started by a mouse.”
