Plane Crazy

Plane Crazy is a 1928 black and white silent Mickey Mouse animated short. It was the first Mickey Mouse cartoon ever to be produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios (known at the time as Walt Disney Studio), even though Steamboat Willie was shot and released earlier.
==Plot==
Inspired by Charles Lindbergh's historic flight across the Atlantic Ocean, Mickey and his barnyard friends build their own plane. After a brief and disastrous first flight, Mickey quickly puts together a new plane and invites Minnie to fly with him. After a wild ride around the barnyard, Mickey finally regains control of the vehicle and turns his attention to Minnie.
Though she repeatedly refuses his advances, Mickey kisses her anyway. She then slaps him and uses her bloomers to parachute out of the plane. While distracted by Minnie's act, Mickey doesn't realize that the plane has gone into a tailspin until it's too late and he and the plane crash to the ground.
