Original Character: Mickey Mouse
The
mouse that started it all. In 1928, Walt
Disney was returning home on a train from New York to California. He was devastated after learning that he no
longer owned the copyright to his cartoon, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. It was during this train ride that Mickey
came to him in his moment of need. At
first he named the mouse “Mortimer,” but Walt’s wife, Lillian, suggested the
name “Mickey” instead. Walt, himself,
provided the voice for Mickey in all of his cartoons up until World War II.
Mickey
is always enthusiastic and adventurous, albeit a bit shy at times. His personality constantly shines through in
every situation: from Steamboat Willie
to The Moving Day to Brave Little Tailor. He is one gosh darn adorable mouse!
