Plane Crazy

Plane Crazy is a black and white Mickey Mouse animated short. It was released in 1928.

The Story
Inspired by Charles Lindbergh's historic flight across the Atlantic, Mickey and his barnyard friends build their own plane. After a brief and disastrous first flight, Mickey quickly puts together a new plane and invites Minnie to fly with him. After a wild ride around the barnyard, Mickey finally regains control of the vehicle and turns his attention to Minnie. Though she repeatedly refuses, Mickey kisses her anyway, which results in Minnie slapping him and using her bloomers to parachute out of the plane. While distracted by Minnie's act, Mickey doesn't realize that the plane has gone into a tailspin until it's too late and he and the plane crash to the ground.
