(Walt Disney Studios, 1928) Original production drawing featuring Mickey Mouse from Steamboat Willie, showing the iconic mouse pulling taut a bull's tongue and playing it with a drum mallet. Accomplished in graphite on untrimmed 12 x 9.5 animation paper, marked "399" in the lower right corner. Image measures 6.25 x 3.75. In fine condition.
During a wonderful musical sequence, Mickey cheerfully opens a bull's mouth to play percussion on the oversized teeth. A remarkably early and desirable production drawing from the famous debut of Mickey Mouse, and the first Disney cartoon to feature synchronized sound.
