Talk:Mickey's Best Friend/@comment-4205827-20140506231029

This is fine, but a couple of things. First, the Mickey Mouse shorts were theatrical cartoons (usually shown before the main feature) and were only shown in theaters. There weren't 'shows' and they didn't 'air' - they were shown in different places at different times.

Second, the first theatrical Mickey Mouse short, Steamboat Willie, was released in 1928, only one year before this was supposedly released. It was a while before he became an established character and part of popular culture. It would have been better to place this story in 1939, at the cusp of the golden age of Hollywood cartoons, and when Disney was at their creative peak.

8/10 for the story, 2/10 for historical accuracy.
