What critics compared Steamboat Willie to
Anthropomorphization is tricky territory although, God knows, Disney has lots of anodyne experience going all the way back to that cheery little mouse who first appeared in Steamboat Willie in 1928.
Disney has traded in anthropomorphic animals all the way back to its origins with the “Alice Comedies,” Oswald the Rabbit, and “Steamboat Willie.”
But it’s important to note that, contrary to what you may have heard, “Turning Red” isn’t “about” a girl getting her first period any more than “Steamboat Willie” is “about” a mouse that wears pants.
