Description
Celebrate 90 years of Mickey Mouse with one of the
most expansive illustrated publications on the Disney
universe: behind-the-scenes shots, rare animation
art, and vintage comics trace Mickey's 122 cartoons,
his comic adventures, and the world of Mickey
merchandise and memorabilia, as well as the legendary
Mickey Mouse Club and unfinished projects.
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.
Unfinished projects, many of them presented for the
first time through original storyboard drawings, unveil
a Mickey that might have been. Extensive archival
research sheds new light on little-known chapters of
Mickey's career, such as his pioneering radio shows,
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,
César Ferioli, and Noel Van Horn.
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.
