The Plowboy is a Mickey Mouse cartoon released on May 9, 1929.
Synopsis
As the title implies Mickey was depicted as a farmer alongside Minnie Mouse. He is first seen with his horse while ploughing a field. Then Minnie comes along with her cow. She has Mickey milk the cow for her. As he does, the cow starts licking him in an apparent sign of affection. Mickey does not seem pleased and replies by rolling up its muzzle with its own tongue. Mickey eventually manages to present Minnie with a full bucket of milk and proceeds forcefully to kiss her. Minnie's reply to this sign of affection is knocking his head with the bucket. At some point the horse is stung by a bee, panics and starts galloping. By the time the horse calms down again, the plough has been broken. In the finale, Mickey resorts to using a pig as a plough.
Notes
- This is Horace Horsecollar's first appearance.
- Minnie's cow is considered a prototype Clarabelle Cow.
- The goat/pig/chicken hybrid gag was originally written for Plane Crazy, but was scrapped and instead used here.
