Four cartoon shorts from the Disney archives are shown herein to trace the rise to stardom of the studio's number one celebrity, Mickey Mouse. Along the way, it is shown how such former "extras" as Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy were elevated to fame through their appearances in Mickey's popular movie vehicles. Even Pluto is on hand to congratulate Mickey on his success, via a lengthy excerpt from the theatrical cartoon Pluto's Christmas Tree. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
