Happy Flashback Friday! Steamboat Willie one of the most iconic cartoons of all times. Before it became part of the public domain, Mercury Filmworks was officially the last animation studio to animate it in 2023.

Yes, indeed! It is Steamboat Willie! Walt Disney created this animation in 1928. The cartoon is considered the debut of both Mickey and Minnie Mouse. It's a significant animation because it was the first cartoon with synchronized sound, becoming the most popular of its day.

Happy Flashback Friday! Do you remember the name of this animation?
