Pioneer Days (1930)

Synopsis

Pioneer Days is a 1930 American animated short film directed by Burt Gillett. It was released on November 20, 1930.

Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse lead a caravan of covered wagons heading west through the desert, playing the banjo and singing "Oh! Susanna". Mickey boasts to Minnie that he is not scared of Indians, but his confidence will be tested—a tribe of wolf-like Indians have spotted the settlers, and they plan for war, wearing feathered headdresses and wielding tomahawks as they dance around their campfire. Meanwhile, Mickey and the other settlers have circled their wagons for the evening, where they sing and dance. The Indian tribe arrives, and Mickey sounds the alarm that the Indians are attacking.
