~Disney 365/15 - "Orphan's Benefit"~

Today in Disney History (August 11, 2010):

 

(1934) "Orphan's Benefit," which features Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy together, was released --in it's original version. In the cartoon, our heroes put on a show to raise money for the kids. Donald makes repeated attempts to recite "Mary Had a Little Lamb," but the mischievous orphans spatter him with eggs until he gives up in disgust. "Orphan's Benefit" was rereleased almost exactly seven years later --a time span that for a while was a Disney tradition-- on August 12, 1941, but this time it was in color and contained some additional animation.
