Wow. I didn't know many people knew about this cartoon. It was Mickey's first cartoon and was aired on May 5, 1928. Steam boat willie was Mickey's first cartoon to have sound it came shortly after plane crazy. :)
No it isn't, but it's the first one that made him famous. His first shorts were the Laugh-O-Grams from 1921-1923, then the Alice Comedies from 1923-1927, then Oswald the Lucky Rabbit from 1927-1928. Steamboat Willie was the third Mickey Mouse cartoon (though many think it was the first), and came out in 1928.
the telegraph, the mechanical reaper, the first steel plow, clipper ships, first steam boat, steam railroads, heavy industry, breach loading firearms, etc.

Steamboat Willie was the earliest role of Mickey Mouse. ( Toot Toot).
That is a boat driven by steam power.
I think John Fitch made the steamboat!!!
The first steam boat was made by Robert Fulton, it made its maiden voyage on August 17, 1807. Fulton's boat had a 24-horsepower Boulton and Watt engine that was controlled by the pressure of steam and a partial vacuum.
Because he starred in their first cartoon 'Steam Boat Willie'. He is a symbol of the begining of the age of animation.
"Steamboat Willie" was one of, if not the actual first movie animated cartoon starring the character that would become Mickey Mouse.
