Mickey flying a plane

The Mail Pilot is Released

That daring pilot, Mickey Mouse, stars in The Mail Pilot, which was released on this day in 1933, telling the chilling tale of his journey to fly the mail across the land. Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet will keep the postmouse from his appointed rounds… and he encounters them all. But, the real challenge occurs when he encounters that dastardly mail bandit (Pete) who will stop at nothing in his attempts to sabotage delivery, even if it means taking the life of our hero. Will Mickey safely deliver the mail to his adoring fans awaiting their deliveries, or will this be the demise of the heroic postal carrier? Thanks to Mickey’s quick thinking and skillful flying, the mail bandit’s plans are foiled, when Mickey dexterously lands safely and the villain is captured in a mail bag, where he will no doubt be delivered to the prison via express mail.
