On November 18, 1928, the world's 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 Disney's and Ub
Iwerks's most famous creation, one met with an explosion of
worldwide popularity preceded only by the earlier successes of
Charlie Chaplin. With unlimited access to Disney's vast historical
collections as well as public and private collections, the authors
bring Mickey's 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
Mickey's 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 Cesar 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 thing-that 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.
Let's pay tribute to the little fellow, his legend, and his legacy
with a monument to the one and only Mickey Mouse. Copyright (c)
