This is amazing, especially for the time, although it's weird to see Jerry so big.
I think I read it was going to be Mickey Mouse at first?

Yes, indeed it was. Gene Kelly was the one who wanted Mickey to dance with him, but the producers asked, “And what’s wrong with our Jerry?” Another theory suggests that Walt was actually in favor of the idea, but his brother Roy turned it down, saying that their studio was still in debt from the war, and they couldn’t afford to be making cartoons for other people.
