Steamboat Wille, 1928
American animated short
film by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks
What is animation?
What does it mean to give life to objects?
What does it mean to create illusion of movement?
In the Steamboat Wille, I am interested how Mickey Mouse transforms animals as organism into musical instrument as mechanism. In this cartoon animation, the artificially generated movements are rigid, repetitive and mechanical. In the animation, animals become an instrument in order to achieve goal like playing music with exaggerated and violent movements.
