Q: I’m inquiring about a short black-and-white film believed to be drawn by Walt Disney. It was given to my friend in the 1930s. He was a longtime employee at Disney, as an artist. The title is Mickey Mouse and the Road Race. I can’t find any reference to this short. Any information you could give would be greatly appreciated.

A: This is probably a new title given to a segment of a Disney cartoon, which was released for home viewing on 8 mm and 16 mm by Hollywood Film Enterprises. It would not have been drawn by Walt and has little or no collector value.
