Traffic Troubles | DISNEY THIS DAY | March 17, 1931

March 17, 2026

On this day in 1931, the Mickey Mouse cartoon ‘Traffic Troubles’ was released. Said to be inspired by an incident Walt Disney had during a traffic stop, the short follows Mickey’s wild adventures as a madcap taxi driver. Mickey deals with a portly passenger and an irritated cop, a rough road that dislodges his fare, a flat tire, and a snake-oil salesman who causes the cab to crash into a barnyard. ‘Traffic Troubles’ is traditionally one of six shorts that play in Disneyland’s Main Street Cinema.
