The Barnyard Broadcast is a 1931 Mickey Mouseanimatedshort film directed by Burt Gillett, produced by Walt Disney Productions and distributed by Columbia Pictures.[1] It was the thirty-third short in the Mickey Mouse film series, and the ninth produced that year.[2]
Plot

In a studio constructed in a barn, Mickey Mouse and his friends, Minnie Mouse, Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow, perform music for a radio broadcast. The listeners are all animals in the barnyard. The program goes smoothly, until a cat enters the barn and disrupts the music with his yowling. Mickey chases the cat out of the barn, but it returns through a hole in the door, followed by four unruly kittens. Mickey's attempts to get rid of the felines lead to the destruction of the instruments and the radio station.
Voice cast
- Mickey Mouse: Walt Disney
- Kittens: Marcellite Garner

Reception
In a contemporary review, Motion Picture Herald said: "It is all delightful, nonsensical and amusing."[4]
In Mickey's Movies: The Theatrical Films of Mickey Mouse, Gijs Grob writes: "The studio uses the cats to a great effect in a second attempt, after Mickey Steps Out, to build a finale from a string of gags. The film is not entirely successful in this, and only gains momentum when Mickey picks up the broom."[2]
Home media
The short was released on December 7, 2004 on Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Black and White, Volume Two: 1929-1935.[5]
Television
The Barnyard Broadcast was included in the TV show The Mickey Mouse Club (season 1, episode 76).[6]
