Plane Minnie

Plane Crazy features several scenes where it appears something is coming right toward the camera. It must have looked pretty good in theatres in 1928.

Here, Mickey and Minnie are in a plane heading toward the audience.



But it turns out Mickey and Minnie fly under the camera.



We mentioned in an earlier post that Mike Barrier’s revealed Ub Iwerks started drawing this cartoon in late April 1928, with Ben Clopton doing some kind of assistant work until leaving the studio on May 12th.
