['Ruben Bolling']

Date: 2023-06-16

Starting in July, Disney+ will roll out a series of newly restored classic cartoons, in celebration of the company's 100th anniversary celebration. Link to the article in Animation Magazine here.

Ranging from undisputed classics to lesser known titles, this package of short films includes examples of Disney's earliest theatrical shorts (Trolley Troubles and All Wet, both from 1927 and starring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit), Silly Symphony classics like The Skeleton Dance, Merbabies and Wynken, Blynken and Nod, as well as a wide range of entertaining shorts featuring Disney's most beloved characters. Chips Ahoy, a 1956 CinemaScope short starring Donald Duck and his chipmunk rivals, concludes the series in October, leading up to Disney's 100th anniversary on October 16.

Included among the restored cartoons are Wynken, Blynken and Nod…

… Mickey's Kangaroo…

Today marks the 86th anniversary of the Mickey Mouse short, Mickey's Kangaroo. It was the last black and white Mickey cartoon made until Get a Horse! in 2013, which was only partially black and white. pic.twitter.com/1uKEILSSwL — Disney Wiki (@Disney_Wiki) April 13, 2021
