something a little different this time. I began working on this back in august just as a little pet project, which makes this probably the longest time ive ever spent making a single video. i saw compilations like these that were comprehensive for every major golden age cartoon studio except for this one, so i figured i might as well make it

some notes:
-the chronology of many of the very early shorts is often disputed due to no official release records. the chronology i chose for this video is according to the disney fandom wiki, which often directly sites sources like the Motion Picture Herald and BoxOffice Magazine for most release dates, as opposed to wikipedia which strangely does not

-I included every theatrically released commissioned wartime short from 1941-1943, as well as sponsored shorts such as "Mickey's Surprise Party", "The Volunteer Worker" and "A Feather in his Collar", since the way disney operated with animation from the 40s onward, these all act important to the evolution of the animation over time

-"Minnie's Yoo Hoo", the short played for the original 1930's Mickey Mouse Clubs, is included since it was both theatrically shown and also shows mickey mouse's voice at a very strange point in its evolution

-"How To Ride a Horse" (originally a segment from The Reluctant Dragon) is included bc that is a short fundamental to Goofy's evolution, and it is placed in its correct 1941 position rather than it's anachronous 1950 rerelease position for accuracy

-even though disney's more traditional theatrical shorts ceased after 1956, i chose to go to the end of the 1960's due to the very strange and unique way that disney blended the distinction between "animated short" and "featurette" by this stage in their history. this is why it might seem strange that winnie the pooh appears twice at the end, for instance, as the first two segments of The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh were released in 1966 and 1968 and recognized formally as animated short films.

    I think the most fascinating thing about this compilation is how it shows it ALL did start with a mouse...but they quickly forgot about him halfway through the journey. If you guys ever seen the Mickey Mouse documentary on Disney+, they touch on this; the more Mickey became a corporate symbol, the less developed he became, instead his pals Donald, Goofy, Pluto and Chip N Dale getting them. Donald got his feisty, quick to fight nature, Goofy for his sillier and over the top tendencies, Pluto was the go-getter, and Chip and Dale were the pranksters and instigators. By the end of the shorts era, Mickey Mouse was just a background player in his own shorts. Love them or hate them, thank goodness the new Mickey Mouse shorts not only put Mickey in the center stage but gave him SO MUCH personality. Fascinating how Disney animation evolved in the shorts film division.

    A lot of funny and cute cartoons when suddenly 4:21 "Do you know who he is?" That part kills me.

    7:42 i completely forgot that Winnie the Pooh started as a series of shorts before officially becoming the 22nd movie of the Disney animated canon

    It takes a compilation like this to remind how wild Disney was during its heyday

    4:32 Most people probably don't know it, but that's actually Disney's first adaptation of the folktale "Chicken Little", decades before the infamous 2005 version.😉

    1:26 The most impressive shot in animation in my opinion. Because, you got this perspective shot earlier, and then the madlads went "Y'know what'd be interesting? A turn to the left of the hallway that also looks down." Like, I'd bet they had an entirely different team working on just that shot and getting it to look just right.
