(Stalling, 1929-32) After “Steamboat Willie,” Walt Disney knew he needed a staff composer. He hired his close friend from Kansas City, Carl Stalling, who immediately became responsible for composing music for every Mickey Mouse Short. By 1929, Mickey was an international sensation with the newly formed Mickey Mouse Club gaining over 1 million members worldwide. Stalling composed “Minnie’s Yoo Hoo” for the 1929 Mickey Mouse Cartoon “Mickey’s Follies.” The song was an instant hit, and quickly became the theme song of The Mickey Mouse Club and every Mickey Mouse cartoon starting with “The Jazz Fool” in 1929, through "Mickey’s Steam Roller" in 1934.

This lot contains the only surviving pieces of Stalling’s handwritten music for “Minnie’s Yoo-Hoo.” Included are 10 instrumental parts for the chorus, written in ink. One typewritten vocal sheet of the chorus to “Minnie’s Yoo Hoo” has lyrics that differ slightly from the final song. One sheet contains a partly written musical intro. The piano part for “Singing chorus Minnie’s Yoo Hoo” is handwritten in pencil, along with a two-page part labeled Mickey Trailer, which appears to have been a shorthand reference to the Minnie’s Yoo Hoo animated piece. A single page full score dated April 22, 1932, titled “Mickey Revue Chorus Mickey Theme Song,” is likely the opening for the short “Mickey’s Revue.” A sheet titled “Yoo Hoo Quartet Club Song” includes notations of “Minnie at Piano” and “Goof Laffs.” Also included is the 1930 commercially printed sheet music, the first Disney song to be published. Overall, an amazing collection of some of the most important music in Disney history. Ranging in size from 9.5” x 6” to 9.5” x 12.5” on staff paper, the collection is in good condition with expected wear and a large tear to the two-page Mickey Trailer sheet. This item does not come from the Bob Clampett Collection.
