Custom image of Mickey Mouse from the 1930s with kiss marks all over his face.
There isn't an animated character who is more recognized than Mickey Mouse. Created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1928 after the loss of their first creation, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, he quickly became the mascot for Walt's new company when he appeared in "Steamboat Willy", one of the first shorts to use synchronized sound. For the rest of the 1920s, Iwerks animated several hilarious and innovative shorts, before leaving Disney in 1930.
Giantland is the first of Mickey's many confrontations with giants, and though it's a bit light on story, it makes up for this with its creativity. There are a lot of funny gags to be found, from Mickey using oversized food to hide from the giant to a newspaper headline reading "Giant's Win". Things heat up during the climax, where Mickey finds himself in the giant's mouth before using his own food against him in a race for freedom.
Magician Mickey is a humorous short that reminds audiences that, while Donald and Goofy might have been rising in popularity by this time, Mickey was still the star of Disney. Mickey is mostly silent throughout the short, which lets the animators have fun with his facial expressions as he grows frustrated with Donald before finding some humorous way to humiliate him.
The Mad Doctor was banned on release for being too scary, but since it entered the public domain, it has found new life among Disney fans for being so out of the norm for a Mickey Mouse story. It does a wonderful job building tension thanks to its creepy visuals and how palpable Mickey and Pluto's fear feels. The Mad Doctor himself also makes for a terrific antagonist, with a constant manic smile and a design that has become the default image of a mad scientist.
