Origin[]
The Goat is a cartoon animal that first appeared in Rival Romeos.
In Rival Romeos the goat that eats Oswald’s sheet music and guitar, and even the ingenious idea of turning the goat in a music instrument backfires as it wakes up an old cat. Angry at Oswald, he throws everything in the room at Oswald to stop him. Just when Oswald dodges the last item thrown and laughs at the old man, Pete arrives and honks his horn.
In Steamboat Willie, Minnie drops her fiddle and "Turkey in the Straw" sheet music which bounces over to a goat. The goat sees it and begins to eat the sheet music. Minnie is lowered to the ship and the hook pulls her skirt back down. Minnie is happy to see Mickey and turns shyly away to see the goat eating her sheet music. The goat then starts on the fiddle and Mickey attempts to yank it out of his mouth. Mickey struggles but can't pull it out and falls on the ground launching the fiddle into the goat's body which proceeds to bounce around causing music notes to sound. Mickey hears this and gets the idea to use the goat as a phonograph. He opens the goat's mouth and calls Minnie over. Minnie gets the idea and begins to "crank" the goat's tail and "Turkey in the Straw" begins to play. What follows is a lively rendition of the song where Mickey harmonizes with the music in many different ways.
