Truly historic original art for the very first Mickey Mouse cartoon ever made. Cartoon was produced in 1928 and released on March 17, 1929 making it the third Mickey Mouse cartoon ever shown in theaters. The storyline was inspired by Lindbergh's solo plane flight from New York to Paris in 1927. Last auction a similar pair sold for $3,415. This is the second of only two sets our consignor has to offer.
