Steamboat Willie is a 1928 American animated short film directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, produced in black and white by Disney Cartoons and released by Pat Powers' Celebrity Productions. It is considered the official debut of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, though both characters had appeared months earlier in a test screening of Plane Crazy and the then-unreleased The Gallopin' Gaucho; it was the third Mickey Mouse film produced but the first to be officially distributed, since Disney had seen The Jazz Singer (1927) and was determined to make one of the first fully synchronized sound cartoons.
