Mickey when he was good

When I was a kid I was really unsure of the appeal of Mickey Mouse. This was mostly because I never saw his cartoons while Popeye and Bugs Bunny were burning themselves into my brain every day. Had I seen a cartoon like "The Wayward Canary" (from 1932) I would most certainly been hooked. Watching this its easy to see the initial appeal of Mickey who has evolved into a somewhat bland figure over the years.
