Description
Celebrate Minnie Mouse’s historic first appearance in the cartoon short Plane Crazy with this Disney Archives Minnie Mouse Plane Crazy Minnie (1928) Pop! Vinyl Figure!
Minnie was first seen in a test screening of the Disney cartoon short Plane Crazy. In the 1928 cartoon, Minnie is invited to join Mickey in the first flight of his aircraft. She accepts the invitation but not his request for a kiss mid-flight. Mickey eventually forces Minnie into a kiss, but this only results in her parachuting out of the plane. This first film depicted Minnie as somewhat resistant to the demanding affection of her potential boyfriend and capable of escaping his grasp.
Their debut, however, featured the couple already familiar to each other. The next film featuring them was The Gallopin’ Gaucho. The film was the second of their series to be produced, but the third to be released, and was released on December 30, 1928. We find Minnie employed at the Cantina Argentina, a bar and restaurant established in the Pampas of Argentina. She performs the Tango for Mickey the gaucho and Black Pete the outlaw. Both flirt with her but the latter intends to abduct her while the former obliges in saving the Damsel in Distress from the villain. All three characters acted as strangers first being introduced to each other.
But it was their third cartoon that established the definitive early look and personality of both Mickey and Minnie, as well as Pete. Steamboat Willie was the third short of the series to be produced but released first on November 18, 1928. Pete was featured as the Captain of the steamboat, Mickey as a crew of one and Minnie as their single passenger.
