What happens

Mickey's Follies is a 1929 American animated short film. It is the tenth film of the Mickey Mouse film series. It was directed by Ub Iwerks and Wilfred Jackson, with music by Carl Stalling. It was released on August 28, 1929 by Celebrity Productions. Columbia Pictures reissued the film after Walt Disney Productions switched distributors. This cartoon revolves around Mickey singing the song "Minnie's Yoo-Hoo", which was later used as the opening theme for all of the Mickey Mouse cartoons from The Jazz Fool (1929) until Mickey's Steam Roller (1934). Mickey's singing voice is provided by an anonymous studio employee; in these early days, Walt Disney was not yet the exclusive voice for Mickey. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
