Wikipedia article
'The Whoopee Party' is a Mickey Mouse short animated film first released on September 17, 1932. It was the 46th Mickey Mouse short, and the tenth of that year.
Plot
Mickey Mouse and friends have a party in which Minnie Mouse is playing the piano while Mickey, Goofy (then Dippy Dawg), and Horace Horsecollar are preparing some snacks. Meanwhile, a police group, who they have been called for an emergency recently, have also been invited to the party. This short was also featured in the 'House of Mouse' episode "Dennis the Duck". The music is among others Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag.
Production
The scene of Mickey dancing with Patricia Pigg was lifted from the 1930 short 'The Shindig'.
Reception
* This short appeared on an episode of Disney's House of Mouse with burlap titles.
* In 'The Disney Films', critic Leonard Maltin says: "There is an incredible amount of action on the screen; an opening shot shows a score of couples dancing to the music. Later, when the party starts to jump, every single inch of picture is filled with dancing figures. What is more, nothing is out of bounds for joining the fun: a pair of shirts on the ironing board are as likely to get up and dance as any of the animals at the party."
