Mickey's Surprise Party was distributed by Nabisco and is notable for being the first Disney product of any kind to be sponsored by a company. Walt Disney hated the idea of public commercials and avoided commercial entanglements until then. The cartoon had its premiere at the Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island in San Francisco in February 1939. The film was shown in the ‘Food and Beverages’ building in the Nabisco Theater. Moreover, Mickey's Surprise Party is the first cartoon with Mickey and Minnie Mouse in their current designs, created by animator Fred Moore.
