Originally released as a silent film in May of 1928, "Plane Crazy" wasn't popular right out of the gate. However, when "Steamboat Willie" premiered two months later, audiences wanted to see (and hear) more of Mickey! So, a soundtrack was recorded for "Plane Crazy" and the short was re-released in the spring of 1929, becoming an instant hit. Besides being Mickey and Minnie's very first cartoon, "Plane Crazy" is also notable for being the first animated film to use a camera move. As Mickey loses control of his plane, he runs down all sorts of traffic before he finally takes off into the air. To achieve the shot, the Disney animators piled books under the spinning background to move the artwork closer to the camera, achieving a kinetic sense of motion. Just another example in a long line of Disney innovation!
