This cartoon was truly made in a different time. Like we know it’s Mickey but it was really a different world. Humor, culture, etc. we’re just so different it’s weird. Like imagine someone needing to go to the theater because there wasn’t really any way of seeing a cartoon like this anywhere else. Just 20 years earlier the first production car went for sale, meaning most of the people working on this cartoon probably went a majority of their lives without a car to get around. And now almost 100 years later after all this technology, landing on the moon, getting data anywhere on earth at rates not even imaginable back then from thousands of man made satellites orbiting the planet. We can finally get our hands on Mickey to make legal memes with him. Isn’t that just weird. Edit: Most people did have electricity, I deleted that comment to correct my error.

[@bigman1163]

Yknow I did actually end up watching this whole thing just because of this. I always thought the early 20th century was a fascinating time, as it really showed a change in how society was. In early cartoons and short films like this, it's truly unlike anything else, even media during the 40s was completely different. It's such a unique and rare insight into a major transitional phase for humanity. It was just such a fascinating time to be alive. So much changed so quickly, and although yeah, it did suck to live there, there's still this urge to just wanna travel back and time and view it for yourself. I dunno, it's different from any other period of history in my opinion. The films weren't regulated or anything. You're not seeing this through the eyes of a textbook describing the old west, or old TV shows, movies, and whatnot from the 80s. You're just seeing what the people of the period were genuinely like. They aren't really keeping up appearances, and there isn't some outside force describing anything. It's just.... them. It's so hard to explain why stuff like this is so fascinating

Wow! This looks like something from the golden age of cartoons! Looks like something Walt Disney made himself! Style is really accurate and you can see the effort put into this. Even has the quality that looks like 1928! Great job on this original cartoon! Must have taken 95 years at the earliest! Original characters too and you gotta love their personalities and quotes!

Ub Iwerks made this cartoon, not Walt

[@originalcharacterplznostea2749]

According to the logic of videogames causing violence, this video will now cause my young teen mind to go out and terrorize a farm because this video has now convinced me that farm animals, are musical instruments. Thank you Dolan.

The creative ways the characters use the animals to play music just show how talented of an artist you are.

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

It's impressive all right, but lets not act like you lack any brain ability so much so that you couldn't possibly think up something if you were given a verbatim task.

[@epikoof]

these are such original concepts and characters, i can't wait to see your future work

[@DrAndyDvideos]

Dude this is literally the best cartoon I’ve ever seen, it literally looks like it’s straight out of the 20s, the fact that YOU did THIS is incredible, this is just like a DISNEY film. If I were you, I would take like 95 years to make this KZbin video!

[@The_Q-Man]

Wow, I'm sure this will inspire generations of people for years to come! Thank you!

[@jopeperoni]

Wow, this is great! I bet it took a really long time to imitate that classic Disney feel. It's amazing to see that the rubberhose style from so long ago still has such a passionate and dedicated fanbase even to this day. Walt Disney would be proud!

[@StupidGuy-GarbageAnimations]

Walt Disney would probably be furious and hunt down this guy

[@ringdedede4197]

As a artist myself, I find it amazing how you were able to do all of this by yourself. Would love to see more of these old fashioned animations in the future!

[@unreal727]

You can just tell how many sleepless nights and long hours were poured into this by Dolan to give us this masterpiece. Every frame perfectly drawn, animated, even complete with added sounds of his own composition! Truly a work of art, Dolan. We’re all proud of you and can’t wait to see what you make next

[@emanuellucin]

Please I dead 😂

[@Fractured_Reflection]

So glad to see people still use this style of animation, here I thought I'd never see an original rubberhose production since Betty Boop and the old Oswald shorts (let's be honest with ourselves, Oswald's Clubhouse just isn't the same as what his shows were back in the day). Amazing work Dolan, your talent and creativity amazes me!

[@domartim]

Let's give this guy an applause for all the hard work he did!

[@domartim]

I'll start: 👏👏👏

[@kennymcormick607]

Can we just appreciate the effort this guy just puts in his animation.

[@BeCause123]

Dolan is truly a master at animation, recreating the animation style from nearly a century ago and even including humour with the animals! Great work Dolan, hope you'll become famous and successful one day!

[@juhotuho10]

amazing how well you have mastered the 1920's art and animation style, love the animation you have made!

[@thebababoeyman4840]

This is the best Short Film I've ever seen, it must've took you whole ages to perfect this amazing animation that you even composed all by yourself, animated by yourself, and voice acted by yourself. Great work, Dolan!

[@breadbird]

indie animation really popping off these past couple years! mustve taken you a while to animate all this, much respect. keep up the good work man!

[@RickOps]

This is some really great animation Disney should totally hire you

[@necessaryopinions]

you’re so talented dolan! i hope to see more works like this from you in the future, maybe you’ll go big time in a few decades

[@Jafelle123]

Damn you captured Disney's style accurately. Its so good it felt like an animation made by Disney

[@jumentoqueanima]

Damn, you animate VERY well! This almost feels like a 1920's cartoon!

[@ImStian]

Amazing job! I really think that mouse guy can become a cultural icon if you keep this up! Good luck on your future animation endeavors, can't wait to see what you'll produce! ❤

[@IRoseASeagull]

yeah, i can see the mouse becoming a superstar one day!

[@MrWhatsItsName]

This is amazing we need more striving indie animators like you, although if i had to say something, i don't think this mouse idea will get far, try something else like a toilet with a head inside of it that sings perhaps?

Be serious dude, a mouse as a main character? That's never going to catch on

[@Aflay1]

Ive never actually seen this episode in full before. It's crazy how well done it is for it's time. Feels like something you could make nowadays and still feel impressive. Reminds me of Lethal Company, funny enough. I mean, the ice cream jingle even. Crazy how iconic it is.

[@pawku2150]

I think it was heavily inspired by Lethal Company. I also get a little bit of among us theme too. Hopefully they add this song to fortnite

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

Yah, is it impressive enough for you.... What a backwards compliment, and of course you haven't seen it before you dingus, it was created January 1st of this year.

[@Krispyy606]

There are more episodes of Steamboat Willie?!? Pretty sure this is Dolan's first episode...

[@DanCanTry]

Yeah Ive never seen the full video either

[@leperaffinity21]

*a dumb baby child who has only ever played lethal company, watching a 1920's cartoon for the first time* : "This kinda reminds me of Lethal Company"

[@trentterryfriends3934]

I love this cartoon that you made, it reminds me of the work of a very obscure animator from the 1920s named Walter Disney, he had a character called Oswald the rabbit, he's often forgotten about but this Disney guy was a pioneer of early animation, it's a shame his career didn't go further than it did

[@NIGHTINGALE346]

Wow, such brilliant quality. Unbelievably amazing artistry. Beautiful and upbeat music. Incredible animations that must have taken years of hardwork, skill, and determination to achieve. Truly a masterclass piece of art you've made here. Indie artist like you require more attention for this type of passion in their works.

[@Qu_3tz]

It feels like it was animated over 90 years ago, it has that old cartoon esthetic that reminds me of old Disney cartoons funny enough 😄 Keep on animating 👍

This little Mouse seems like a perfect character for many cartoons! Hopefully you’ll be able to make more of these cool animations, because this is really charming! You have amazing talent!

[@edwardsolaire5672]

This is the movie of all time. It has characters, it has music, it has a script. Without a doubt it is one of the animated films of all time.
