{{main|Golden Age of American animation}}
In 1928, ''[[Steamboat Willie]]'', featuring [[Mickey Mouse]] and [[Minnie Mouse]], popularized film-with-synchronized-sound and put [[Walt Disney]]'s studio at the forefront of the animation industry. Although [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Disney Animation's]] actual output relative to total global animation output has always been very small, the studio has overwhelmingly dominated the "aesthetic norms" of animation ever since.<ref name="Furniss_Page_107">{{cite book |last1=Furniss |first1=Maureen |title=Art in Motion, Revised Edition |chapter=Classical-era Disney Studio |author1-link=Maureen Furniss |date=2007 |pages=107–132 |publisher=John Libbey Publishing |location=New Barnet |isbn=9780861966639 |doi=10.2307/j.ctt2005zgm.9 |jstor=j.ctt2005zgm.9 |edition=2014 print-on-demand ed., based on 2007 revised |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt2005zgm.9|oclc=1224213919}}</ref>
