The Mickey Mouse Theater of the Air was a 1938 musical-variety radio series for children, sponsored by Pepsodent and heard on NBC on Sunday afternoons, featuring Mickey Mouse and other characters from Walt Disney's cartoons and comic strips. The program was created to promote the February 1938 release of Disney's first animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

While Walt never made a cartoon based on Old Macdonald prior to this episode of the Mickey Mouse Theater of the Air, there were at least 2 animated shorts based on this popular folksong; Old Mac Donald Duck (1941) and Jack & Old Mac (1953)
