mickey mouse || 5:31 PM
Since his debut more than seven decades ago, Mickey has become an international personality whose success laid the foundation upon which Walt Disney built his creative organization. Besides being the personification of everything Disney, Mickey has become one of the enduring personalities of the century.
Mickey was cast in Walt Disney's imagination early in 1928, on a train ride from New York to Los Angeles. Walt was returning with his wife from a business meeting at which his cartoon creation, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, had been wrested from him by his financial backers.
Only 26-years-old at the time, and with an active cartoon studio in Hollywood, Walt had gone East to arrange for a new contract and more money to improve the quality of his Oswald pictures. The money men declined, and since the character was copyrighted under their name, they took control of it.
"... so I was all alone and had nothing," Walt recalled later. "Mrs. Disney and I were coming back from New York on the train and I had to have something ... I couldn't tell them I'd lost Oswald ... so, I had this mouse in the back of my head ... because a mouse is sort of a sympathetic character in spite of the fact that everybody's frightened of a mouse ... including myself."
Walt spent the train ride conjuring up a little mouse in red velvet pants and named him Mortimer, but by the time the train screeched into the station in Los Angeles, Walt's new character had been re-christened. Walt's wife, Lillian, thought the name Mortimer was too pompous and suggested Mickey. A star was born.
this is how mickey mouse is created. i think it is real meaningful. the smile that it has on his face can brighten up a day. he was created to be a sign of happiness. he was born in the darkest moments of walts and i guess it has kind of encourges walts a little when he came up when this mouse. maybe thats he reason y i am so attracted to mickey. he is really classic yet exudes? a sense of happiness.
