Name of Short story in which humanity is judged by a Mickey Mouse cartoon


I remember a science fiction short story about some archeologists (I think they may have been alien) in which they were describing going through the remnants of a destroyed earth. It may have been destroyed thousands of years in the future.


The twist was that they were describing what they knew about earthlings - that we moved around in jerky motions, had a limited vocabulary, etc.


Then you eventually realize that their understanding of humanity was based on the only film they found, a Mickey Mouse cartoon.


Anyone know who may have written this or the title?



Thanks
