Ye Olden Days

Ye Olden Days (1933) is a Walt Disney animated short you can watch online on iFILM. Eight minutes of black-and-white film, a make-believe Middle Ages, and Mickey and Minnie Mouse in the leads.

A king wants his daughter married off to a stuffy prince, and when she refuses he locks her in a tower. Wandering minstrel Mickey decides to free her, knotting an escape rope out of lady-in-waiting Clarabelle's dresses. The plan nearly ends at the chopping block — until the king calls for a joust to settle the whole thing. Burt Gillett directed; Walt Disney himself voices Mickey. A light, early piece of studio history for anyone curious where the Disney sense of humor began. Stream Ye Olden Days (1933) online on iFILM.
