Ye Olden Days Ye Olden Days Ye Olden Days is a 1933 animated short film by Disney and which is in turn loosely based on the historical novel "Ivanhoe" by Sir Walter Scott. It was directed by Burt Gillett and produced by Walt Disney. Set in Europe, during the Middle Ages, Mickey Mouse, the wandering minstrel, rides on his donkey whilst strumming on his lute, singing his own song. Inside the castle, the princess Minnie and the prince Dippy Dawg, (Goofy), are about to marry each other. But Princess Minnie slaps the prince in the face three times and she did not like
Dippy (London) since 1907, with various other animal specimens. The elephant had itself replaced the skeleton of a sperm whale which was the first significant exhibit in the hall and had been on display since at least 1895: earlier, the hall had been left largely empty. Dippy was originally displayed alongside a cast of a "Triceratops" skeleton, which was removed around 1993. The tail of the Diplodocus cast was also lifted to waft over the heads of visitors; originally it drooped to trail along the floor. After 112 years on display at the museum, the dinosaur replica was removed in early 2017
