Instead of a story, in 'Steamboat Willie' it seems almost as if Mickey Mouse is discovering sound for the first time, which of course is appropriate since this is the first film Disney made accompanied by sound.
I can see the principles of animation being put to good use here, which makes the film feel more creative and in a cartoon style, yet complete and believable; the exaggeration in the characters actions is particularly notable for entertainment.
Compared to modern films, it still stands as a strong cartoon, particularly the use of decent animation and the syncing of sound. I intend to talk about it in my dissertation as a revolutionary piece of work which truly started off Disney's long career of producing animated feature films.
