On this day in 1930, Minnie Mouse was washed to sea, and it was lifeguard Mickey to the rescue in the early Mickey Mouse cartoon short Wild Waves. Despite the fact that the first was released not quite a year and a half earlier, on November 18, 1928, this was the 15th Mickey short. This time, Minnie is terribly distraught after her terrifying experience, so Mickey takes to singing and dancing to cheer her up and succeeds in warming her heart.
