What happens

The Gallopin' Gaucho is a 1928 American animated short film. It is the second short film featuring Mickey Mouse to be produced, following Plane Crazy and preceding Steamboat Willie. The Disney studios completed the silent version in August 1928, but did not release it in order to work on Steamboat Willie. The Gallopin' Gaucho was released, with sound, after Steamboat Willie on December 30, 1928 by Celebrity Productions. Columbia Pictures reissued the film after Walt Disney Productions switched distributors. The short entered the US public domain on January 1, 2024. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
