Mickey’s Follies’ sees cartoonland’s favourite mouse putting on a show in true vaudeville style, but this time in the barnyard.
So a rooster and a hen dance apache, there is an operatic pig (and a subsequent hoist and underwear gag which would be repeated many times over the live of these shorts), before Mickey introduces his theme song Minnie’s Yoo-Hoo. And anyone who has seen the short which presented this song for the Mickey Mouse Club will realise that whoever sang the song in ‘Mickey’s Follies’, it certainly wasn’t Walt Disney (who did croak it in the short for the Clubs!).
Minnie makes one of her brief appearances here and the short is not without charm. Mickey is still in early design mode as a circular character with rubber legs and arms, but his personality already shines through.
