Close up of the Mickey Mouse original production drawing.
The story of "Puppy Love" is that Mickey and his dog Pluto have come to call on Minnie and her dog Fifi. Mickey brings a bouquet of flowers and a heart shaped box of candy. As Mickey and Minnie begin playing the piano and singing the song "Puppy Love," Pluto and Fifi begin to flirt with each other. Pluto gives the unopened box of chocolates, that Mickey had brought to Minnie, to Fifi. When Fifi eats the chocolates, Pluto puts Fifi's bone into the empty box and returns it to the living room. When Minnie opens the candy box for the first time and reveals the bone, Minnie mistakingly thinks Mickey was playing a mean joke on her and suddenly a violent argument begins. Mickey and Pluto storm out of the house; and they along with Minnie, each vow to give up the opposite sex. But when Fifi reveals to Minnie the heart shaped box with a few left over chocolates; Minnie realizes that it was the dogs that had eaten the chocolates and then put the dog bone in the box. Mickey and Minnie, along with Pluto and Fife, reunite in the end!

This is a great drawing of Mickey Mouse carrying a bouquet of flowers and a heart shaped box of candy, from the opening of "Puppy Love," 1933. He is full figure, his eye is open, and he is smiling. The drawing is rendered in graphite, red, and green pencils on peg hole animation paper. This is a wonderful image of Mickey Mouse and one of the best images to be had from the Walt Disney black-and-white cartoons of the 1930's.
