Description

On November 18, 1928, the worlds most famous Mouse made his very first public debut. Today, we celebrate
90+ years of Mickey
in
one of the most expansive illustrated publications on the Disney universe
. Starting with the first sketches of a character who was almost named Mortimer, we trace the career of Walt Disneys and Ub Iwerkss most famous creation, one met with an explosion of worldwide popularity preceded only by the earlier successes of Charlie Chaplin. With
unlimited access to Disneys vast historical collections
as well as public and private collections, the authors bring Mickeys success story to life:
concept art
,
story sketches
,
background paintings
, and
animation drawings
as well as
historical photographs
trace the origins and evolution of such timeless favorites as
Steamboat Willie
,
The Band Concert
, and
Brave Little Tailor
. They also follow Mickey as he builds on this legendary library of short cartoons by appearing in two historic feature-length films,
Fantasia
and
Fun and Fancy Free
. Extensive archival research sheds
new light on little-known chapters of Mickeys career
, the origins of the Mickey Mouse Club, and his use as a patriotic icon during World War II. Along the way, we encounter the work of
all major Mickey artists in both film and comics
, including such greats as Ub Iwerks, Win Smith, Ferdinand Horvath, Fred Moore, Floyd Gottfredson, Carl Barks, Manuel Gonzales, Paul Murry, Romano Scarpa, Giorgio Cavazzano, Byron Erickson, and César Ferioli. Mickey Mouse has left an indelible mark on everyday culture as well as high art, becoming a favored subject for Pop artists such as Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Roy Lichtenstein. As Walt Disney once said:
I only hope that we never lose sight of one thingthat it was all started by a mouse.
And an end to the success story is nowhere in sight. Today, 90+ years after his creation, Mickey remains as lovable and popular as ever. Lets pay tribute to the little fellow, his legend, and his legacy with a monument to the one and only Mickey Mouse. Copyright © 2020 Disney Enterprises, Inc.
