The Whoopee Party
0 views
A house party. While Minnie plays piano and the guests dance, Mickey, Goofy, and Horace prepare a snack, which is brought out to much fanfare and immediately devoured. A band forms and plays Scott Joplin’s The Entertainer; Mickey dances with Patricia Pig and various inanimate objects also dance, while all cry “Whoopee!” from time to time. The police come to break up the party.

Curator’s rating
A house party that escalates until the furniture joins in. It is one of the best of the early musical Mickeys, largely because the studio gives up on plot entirely around the halfway mark and simply lets the whole house dance. The everything-becomes-a-musician convention was Disney's signature move of the period.
