Mickey was first seen in a test screening of the cartoon short Plane Crazy, on May 15, 1928, but it failed to impress the audience and to add insult to injury, Walt could not find a distributor. Though understandably disappointed, Walt went on to produce a second Mickey short: “The Gallopin’ Gaucho” which was also not released for lack of a distributor.

Steamboat Willie was first released on November 18, 1928 in New York. It was co-directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks.

Love this film, love this scene. Shame directed by Steve McQueen. The runner is Michael Fassbender.

Tarantino’s advice to filmmakers

You make a kick ass movie and you can take it all over fucking planet earth. Not America not fucking Los Angeles not New York the planet fucking Earth. And everyone will know it.

Yeah theres a lot more competition but at the same time all those crappy movies aren’t competition if your fucking thing is like fucking dynamite. There a lot of people doing stuff but its like waves on the fucking beach. You make a piece of nitro that you throw in an audiences lap people will notice.
