Description
Vintage Film Movie Poster
This is a reproduction of a poster for the classic Walt Disney animated short film "Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip". Released on November 1, 1940, the cartoon features Mickey Mouse, his dog Pluto, and the conductor, Pete.
Key Details
Plot: Mickey and Pluto are taking a train trip from Burbank to Pomona, California. The problem arises when Conductor Pete informs them that no dogs are allowed on the train. Mickey attempts to sneak Pluto aboard inside his suitcase, leading to a "cat and mouse" chase throughout the journey.
Significance: The short is historically notable because film footage exists of Walt Disney himself recording the voice lines for Mickey Mouse, one of the only times he was filmed doing so. Billy Bletcher provided the voice for Pete.
Artwork: This vibrant poster, designed in the classic 1940s Disney art style, features a dynamic composition over a vintage map background. The central image shows Mickey Mouse, in his signature red shorts and straw hat, looking surprised as he hands his ticket to the imposing Conductor Pete. In the foreground, a worried Pluto sits next to a suitcase marked "M.M.", hinting at the plot point of him being snuck onto the train as a stowaway. The color palette is bright and inviting, characteristic of the era's animation.
