The cartoon short "The Three Little Pigs" is released, marking the first time personality animation is used. The song "Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf" cheers Depression-era audiences.

In "The Mad Doctor," Mickey's looks have changed considerably. A more cuddly Mickey has replaced the formerly naughty, rodent-like creature.
