"Klondike Kid" is an homage to the classic 1925 silent film by and starring Charlie Chaplin entitled "The Gold Rush." In the Walt Disney version, Mickey Mouse entertains the patrons of a saloon as a piano player, and then ends up comforting a poor and homeless Minnie Mouse. Peg-leg Pete comes storming in and steals her away after a gun battle. A dogsled chase follows, with Pluto pulling Mickey's sled following Pete and Minnie on their own dog sled. A wild Chaplinesque battle ensues at Pete's cabin. Meanwhile, Pluto makes a giant snowball on the side of the mountain, which gets larger and larger as it tumbles down the mountain. Eventually it crashes into the cabin, demolishing it into it's component parts, trapping Pete; but Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto escape from the snowy top.

This is an extremely rare and wonderful drawing of Mickey Mouse on his dog sled, being pulled by Pluto. Both Mickey and Pluto are full figure and it is rare to have more than one character on a single animation sheet. The drawing was used just after Mickey gets onto his sled and begins to pursue Peg-leg Pete. Drawings from the early black and white Walt Disney cartoon shorts are very rare, and this is a fantastic image!

The story of "On Ice" revolves around three different storylines that all take place during the winter on a frozen lake. At the beginning of the film, Mickey Mouse is helping Minnie Mouse to learn how to skate. The second storyline has Goofy attempting to catch fish by dropping chewing tobacco through a hole cut into the ice lake. Once the fish begin chewing, they are forced to come up to the surface to spit and Goofy attempts to knock them unconscious. The third storyline involves Donald Duck pulling a prank on Pluto by putting ice skates on his feet and luring him out onto the ice. Poor Pluto slips and slides on the ice and Donald laughs and pokes fun at him. The three story lines merge when Donald skates around Pluto with a kite on his back. The wind picks up and sends him flying over a waterfall. Mickey hears his cries for help and saves him by pulling on the yarns of his sweater. Donald ends up landing in the ice hole where Goofy is fishing.

This is a great drawing of Mickey Mouse skating on the frozen lake and is from the scene when he  tells Minnie, "It's a sinch, watch me," and he takes off skating. The drawing is a large centered full figure image of Mickey with his eyes open and he is smiling. This is simply a wonderful drawing from a Walt Disney cartoon from the 1930's!
