Details of the Film
Plot: The cartoon is a loose adaptation of Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe. In the story, Mickey is shipwrecked and finds himself on an island inhabited by cannibals. He saves a native from being cooked and names him "Friday," after the character in the book. The two then build a fort to defend themselves from the rest of the cannibals before ultimately escaping on a raft.
Release: The film was released on January 19, 1935, and was one of the last black-and-white Mickey Mouse cartoons.
Controversy: Due to its depiction of the natives, the cartoon is considered controversial today and is not widely released. |
