Ye Olden Days

The princess (Minnie) is to wed the Prince (Goofy, still known as Dippy Dawg) against her wishes. When she refuses, her father the king locks her in the tower. Minstrel Mickey sees her and rescues her, making a rope from the clothes of lady-in-waiting Clarabell. The king spots them and prepares to chop off Mickey’s head until Minnie intercedes. The king calls for a joust. Mickey wins, and they live happily ever after.
★★★☆☆
Curator’s rating
A medieval romance with Mickey as a wandering minstrel and Goofy — still billed as Dippy Dawg — as the unwanted prince. It is one of the more charming early shorts, and useful for seeing Goofy before the studio worked out what he was actually for.
