Just Mickey-The 1930 Bottle Cartoon with Two Titles

In commemoration of multiple Mickey Mouse & Silly Symphonies cartoons from 1930 having entered the Public Domain back in January 1 2026,

here’s a treat:

JUST MICKEY

Or according to Disney themselves:

FIDDLING AROUND

Considering that the cartoon only features MICKEY MOUSE, let's just use the common name

JUST MICKEY.

As the title Suggests, 

Alright...

BROKEN RECORD JOKES OVER!!!

MICKEY MOUSE is just playing the Violin to an unseen but perfectly audible audience.

Why did this cartoon get made?

It could be because the budget was tight and was allocated to other cartoons like THE CHAIN GANG,

or it was because of the Great Depression of the 1930s, 

what with Wall Street crashing a year prior in 1929,

Or it was because it was a test to further evolve the emotions of Mickey Mouse himself.

Who knows.

But the way I have a hunch that this cartoon may have been made to be used as a test bed for things to come forth with the character but I haven't the slightest clue what it is.

It's so limited to just one setting and one character that it's not worth my time to just show screenshots so instead, I encourage you to just watch the cartoon via this provided link:
