Mickey’s Service Station Grabs
- Having posted sketches from Mickey’s Service Station, the brilliant 1935 short, the last B&W Mickey film, the next thing for me to do, logically, is post frame grabs from the final film – for comparison.
Since Hans Perk has made available the film’s draft on his incredibly resourceful site, AFilmLA, I’ve also added the animators’ names to the frame grabs. What an assortment it is, too. Art Babbitt, Eric Larsen, Bill Tytla, Jack Kinney, Don Towsley, Fred Spencer, Milt Kahl, Ferdinand Hovarth, Archie Robins among others.
Here, then, are the scenes from the film:

Slip of the keys – Bacher should read Perk.

Thanks, Kellie, for correcting me. A stupid mistake done in a rush.

Probably the earliest Donald Duck cartoon where he’s with “Mickey and the Gang” – this is one of the very last Mickey cartoons in B&W. Has this short been colourised?

Mickey’s Service Station was the last cartoon done in B&W at Disney. By the time they made this film the “gang” had appeared in a number of cartoons; they just didn’t look like they would later.

I thought “Mickey’s Kangaroo” was the last B&W cartoon done at Disney.

(continued) Or is this going by production order?
