The Whoopee Party is a Mickey Mouse short animated film first released on September 17, 1932. It was the 46th Mickey Mouse short, and the tenth of that year.

Plot

Mickey Mouse and friends have a party in which Minnie Mouse is playing the piano while Mickey, Goofy (then Dippy Dawg), and Horace Horsecollar are preparing some snacks. Characters at the party start off dancing rather sedately to music in the style of 1900, until the food and beverages come out. They eat and drink, then dance more wildly. The music is a hot jazzy version of Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag", followed by "Some of These Days" and "Runnin' Wild". Inanimate objects around the house start dancing as well. A van full of police drive up to the party with siren blaring and storm the house, but rather than shutting the party down they join in the wild dancing. At the end Mickey and Minnie yell "Whoopee!"

Production

The scene of Mickey dancing with Patricia Pigg was lifted from the 1930 short The Shindig.
