Disney’s Mickey Mouse cartoon “Two-Gun Mickey” was released.


Great cartoon...but one they would never release today...not with Mickey not only packing some serious heat...but also defeating an army of Peg Leg Petes henchman in a hail of bullets from his revolvers (and eventually a revolver turner machine gun).
