Pluto: Disney Animated Shorts

Mickey's Polo Team (1930x32)

Udgivelsesdato: Jan 04, 1936

The Mickey Mousers take on the Movie Stars in a manic polo tournament. This cartoon was inspired by Walt's love of the game of polo. He had organized a team at the studio and arranged games between some of the other Hollywood luminaries. Unfortunately he had to stop when an accident crushed four of his cervical vertebrae, contributing to an arthritic condition that plagued him the rest of his life. The cartoon was delayed in production due to removal of Will Rogers, who had been intended to appear on the movie stars' team but died. Thus the cartoon features early 1935 versions of Goofy and Donald, prior to their metamorphoses.
