Production slowed towards the end of the 1930s as the studio began to focus on other characters and feature-length films. The revenues from the film provided the studio with much needed resources, and the studio quickly began to produce new cartoons as well as releasing sound versions of the first two. Steamboat Willie debuted in New York in November 1928 and was an instant success. For the third film, Disney added synchronized sound, a technology that was still in its early stages at the time. The first two films, Plane Crazy and The Gallopin' Gaucho, were previewed in theaters but failed to pick up a distributor for a broad release. Examples of this include several Silly Symphonies and Goofy and Wilbur (1939).ĭisney began producing Mickey Mouse films in April 1928 after the studio lost the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Mickey's name was also used occasionally to market other films which were formally part of other series. Films from 1929 to 1935 which were re-released during this time also used this naming convention, but it was not used for the three shorts released between 19 ( Mickey's Christmas Carol, The Prince and the Pauper, and Runaway Brain).

The name "Mickey Mouse" was first used in the films' title sequences to refer specifically to the character, but was used from 1935 to 1953 to refer to the series itself as in "Walt Disney presents a Mickey Mouse." In this sense "a Mickey Mouse" was a shortened form of "a Mickey Mouse sound cartoon" which was used in the earliest films. The series is notable for its innovation with sound synchronization and character animation, and also introduced well-known characters such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto and Goofy. Four additional shorts were released between 19. The series started in 1928 with Steamboat Willie and ended in 1953 with The Simple Things.
