Mickey's Follies
About Mickey's Follies
Mickey stages a show in the barnyard. A chicken and a rooster play a short scene. Patricia Pig sings an operatic number. Mickey then sings "Minnie's Yoo-Hoo" and dances to it. That song became the opening theme of the Mickey shorts from The Jazz Fool (1929) through Mickey's Mechanical Man (1933).
