Write your thoughts on some of these first sketches of "Mickey" Mouse created by Walt Disney. What did the artist, Walt Disney, contribute to the art community and the world? Where is Mickey now?
The original Mickey Mouse was not necessarily aimed at children. It was another form of story-telling for the movies. As cartoons, and esp Mickey Mouse started to become aimed at kids, the drawing of Mickey became rounder and cuter. I have a stuffed Mickey from earlier days and it is not the cuddly stuffed toy you see today.
Lots of great comments! Mrs. Wood, thank you for letting us borrow your Mickey! I have removed everyones posts due to your names being on the open web. From now on post with your initials and your class period. THANKS!
i think the early mickey mouse is not as cute. i also think that walt disney opened many doors to animation for alot of others. if you think about it mickey mouse was pretty much the start of all the cartoons, i mean if it wasnt for mickey mouse would we have "Finding Nemo?"
I think the Mickey Mouse today is more advanced in animation. I see on the disney channel I saw Mickey Mouse Club House and it is way different from the past. And I think that is pretty cool
Mickey Mouse has appeared on thousands of merchandise items, and currently holds the honored title of Chief Greeter at the Disney theme parks. Mickey Mouse remains a popular and well-appreciated character who functioned as a valuable purpose by bringing generations of children and adults through the demanding times of the Depression, the War Years, and into the New Millennium. http://ezinearticles.com/?Facts-About-Mickey-Mouse---1&id=1614410
The first person to voice Mickey Mouse was Walt Disney himself;;Mickey Mouse has appeared on thousands of merchandise items, and currently holds the esteemed title of Chief Greeter at the Disney theme parks;;

I feel that these sketches aren't as good as they are now. When I hear the name Walt Disney, I think of cartoons & and happiness.
