Steamboat Willie

Show this video to anyone younger than yourself and ask them who is featured. You will get the technically correct answer "Mickey Mouse" or "Steamboat Willie," but what if i was asked about the actor who voiced Mickey.

Knowing who is playing a character is sometimes less likely than knowing another character they have played. I, for example, can not remember celebrity names to save my life, but if you show me a picture or play a soundclip of them talking i will most likely be able to identify something else that they were in.

Mickey and friends are an early example of how characters become more identifiable than their human counterparts.

(I also just like this video and think more people should know about steamboat willie, 'cause he is awesome)
