This day in history...

[Maria]

On November 18...

The premiere of the short animated cartoon “Steamboat Willie” by Walt Disney occurred in New York City on this day in 1928. The Mickey Mouse cartoon was the first to use synchronized sound. From 1929 to 1939 Disney produced his “Silly Symphonies” series of sound cartoons. In 1937 the first feature length cartoon was released by the name of “Snow White”. It became one of the most successful films of the times.

And a mere bargain at just over $4,000! I tell you what, give 'em a few more years and soon they'll be less than half that much. Like the DVD players. Or Pentium 4 processors in computers. Or plasma televisions. Or CD and MP3 players. Or ... :lol:
