Our goal today is to tell you about Touchdown Mickey, the Mickey Mouse cartoon short that kicked off in theaters on this day in 1932.
It’s the big game with Mickey’s Manglers vs. Alley Cats
. . . the latter team consisting of all cats, of course. A still unnamed Goofy, who made his screen debut just five months earlier, is the unconventional and overly enthusiastic announcer, while Minnie, Horace Horsecollar, and Clarabelle Cow are seen briefly cheering on their favorite team. By the end, Mickey scores big both in the game and with his fans, finding himself the receiver of affection from fans and his sweetheart, Minnie.
