Inspired by the classic piece of black and white animation that introduced the character of Mickey Mouse, the litle video does not provide a look at the official set but does hint at the Mickey minifigure. The project submitted to the platform was designed by Máté “szabomate90” Szabó.
As an animator, it was the perfect subject matter for Máté to bring to LEGO life. His original project includes a model of the Steamboat Willie boat and a black and white version of the Mickey Mouse minifigure.
It is not the only animated classic getting the LEGO treatment in 2019, with 21316 The Flintstones (review) recently having launched.
