steamboat willie be an amazingly important film to our cinema history . this second appearance of mickey mouse ( follow the silent plane crazy earlier that year ) be probably his most famous film mostly because it be so ground breaking . this be because it be the first sound cartoon . while you do not yet hear mickey speak and there be ton of sound effect and music throughout the film something we take for grant now but which be a huge crowd pleaser in 1928. now if this be just an important historical film and it would be worth see especially to lover of animation . however and after see the short again after about 25 year and i be amaze at how timeless the film actually be . while mickey and minnie behave a bit odd compare to the character we have grow to love ( thanks mostly to the kooky mind and talent of animator ub iwerks ) and there be an infectious charm about the film . it just adorable see mickey play turkey in the straw in a highly imaginative ( if occasionally cruel ) way . clever and a real crowd pleaser this film still rank among mickey best film even after 80 wonderful year .
