Vintage Film Movie Poster
This is a reproduction of a poster for the vintage Disney animated short film, The Klondike Kid, released on November 18, 1932. This black-and-white cartoon was directed by Wilfred Jackson and stars the voices of Walt Disney as Mickey Mouse and Marcellite Garner as Minnie Mouse.
Summary of the Short Film
Plot: The story is set in a saloon in the snowy Klondike region, where Mickey plays the piano for a rough-and-tumble crowd. He rescues a half-frozen, starving Minnie Mouse from the cold outside and warms her up with hot soup. The villain of the piece, Pegleg Pierre (an early incarnation of Pete), then storms in, engages in a gun battle with Mickey, and kidnaps Minnie.
Action: Mickey and Pluto the dog pursue Pierre in a dogsled chase, leading to a comical battle at Pierre's cabin that involves bedsprings and a giant snowball.
Significance: The short is an homage to Charlie Chaplin's film The Gold Rush and is considered, chronologically, the first time Mickey meets Minnie within the cartoon series' continuity. It is also notable for featuring early cameos by Goofy and Pluto.
Artwork: The poster artwork for The Klondike Kid features vibrant, bold colors and a dynamic composition depicting the film's main setting and characters. In a rustic cabin interior, Mickey Mouse is shown in the foreground offering a bowl of hot soup to a bundled-up Minnie Mouse sitting on a barrel. Through a snowy window in the background, the villain Pegleg Pierre menacingly peers inside.
