Vintage Film Movie Poster
This is a reproduction of a poster for the classic Walt Disney animated short film "Mickey's Good Deed", released on December 17, 1932. The black-and-white cartoon, set during the Great Depression, tells a heartwarming Christmas story of charity and selflessness.
Summary of "Mickey's Good Deed"
Plot: Mickey Mouse and his dog, Pluto, are poor street performers on Christmas Eve. After their cello is destroyed and they fail to earn money, Mickey sees a poor cat family with an imprisoned father who will have no Christmas.
The Sacrifice: Driven by compassion, Mickey reluctantly sells Pluto to a wealthy family for their spoiled, bratty son to raise money. He uses the money to buy toys and a Christmas dinner for the poor kittens, delivering them anonymously dressed as Santa.
Reunion: Meanwhile, the rich kid mistreats Pluto, leading his father to discipline the child and throw Pluto out. Pluto is eventually reunited with a lonely Mickey, bringing with him a roasted turkey that had been tied to his tail during his escape. The film ends on a happy note with the two friends sharing a Christmas feast.
Production: The short was directed by Burt Gillett and features the voices of Walt Disney as Mickey and Pinto Colvig as Pluto. It is noted for its emotional depth and message about the spirit of giving.
Artwork: The poster itself is a vibrant, vintage-style illustration depicting the film's premise. It features Mickey Mouse playing an oversized cello while standing in the snow outside a brick building decorated for Christmas, complete with a wreath in the window. His loyal dog, Pluto, sits faithfully beside him, looking up. The artwork captures a warm, nostalgic holiday atmosphere, emphasizing the core subjects of the film: the characters and the Christmas setting.
