The first Mickey Mouse cartoon in color. From then on, with the exception
of "Mickey's Service Station" and "Mickey's Kangaroo," all the Disney cartoons would be in color. Mickey is a
frustrated bandleader who must deal not only with obnoxious peanut vendor and flute player Donald Duck, who
tries to persuade the band to play "Turkey in the Straw," but also with a cyclone before his concert of the
"William Tell Overture" is completed. The cartoon was a major success, making Donald more popular than ever.
Conductor Arturo Toscanini called this cartoon his favorite.
Directed by Wilfred Jackson.
