Mickey Mouse universe
In "Plane Crazy" (1929), the first produced Mickey Mouse story, Mickey is seen at a farm. In all of his early films Mickey is in a rural setting, but most commonly at a farm. This setting was succinctly presented in the first sentences of one of Mickey's first storybooks:
Mickey Rose
Rose's earliest material was for the ventriloquist Shari Lewis in her act with the sock-puppet Lamb Chop. After Allen had become a stand-up comedian, Rose co-wrote "The Moose" routine with him. Around this time, they collaborated with others on the English adaptation of a Japanese spy film, which was turned into "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" (1966), Allen's first film as director.
