Inside of lid has image of Mickey and Donald holding instructions while outside features images of them along with Snow White and Dwarfs, Three Little Pigs, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Goofy all playing instruments and dancing. Toy is designed to produce musical sounds by the inner bellows blowing air through the music roll which in turn produces an accordion-like sound. Works.
