Ye Olden Days is a black and white Mickey Mouse cartoon that was released on April 8, 1933 and which is in turn loosely based on the historical novel Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott.

Summary

The short features Mickey and his friends putting on a musical set in Medieval times. Mickey plays a wandering minstrel who saves Princess Minnie from having to marry Dippy Dawg, the Prince of Poopoopadoo.

Other characters in the short include the King of Kampalazoo and Clarabelle Cow as Minnie's handmaiden.

Characters

• Mickey Mouse (voiced by Walt Disney)
• Minnie Mouse (voiced by Marcellite Garner)
• The King
• Goofy (voiced by Pinto Colvig)
• Clarabelle Cow (voiced by Elvia Allman)

Notes

• The plot of this short was recycled from the Oswald short Oh What a Knight.
• This short is featured as a transition level in Epic Mickey.
• Upon the Prince's (Dippy Dawg, later renamed Goofy) entrance, the five-note musical phrase "You're... a hor-se's ass" plays, indicating that the Prince is not too bright.
