Encyclopedic overview
Plane Crazy is a 1928 American animated short film directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. The cartoon, produced by Disney Cartoons, is the first finished project to feature appearances of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, and the first to be produced by the studio instead of Winkler Pictures. It was originally produced as a silent film before test screening to a theater audience and potential distributors on May 15, 1928. An executive from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer saw the film, but the film failed to pick up a distributor. Later that year, Disney released Mickey's first sound cartoon, Steamboat Willie, which was an enormous success; Plane Crazy was officially released as a sound cartoon on March 17, 1929 by Celebrity Pictures. It was the fourth Mickey film to be given a wide release after Steamboat Willie, as well as The Gallopin' Gaucho and The Barn Dance (1929). Columbia Pictures reissued the film after Walt Disney Productions switched distributors.
