“I only hope that we don’t lose

sight of one thing – that it was

all started by a mouse.”

WA L T D I S N E Y

1928

At the end of the 1920s, the cartoon film artist Walt Disney

invented “Oswald, the lucky rabbit”, onlyto lose the rights to

the character the following year. He decided to make a new

start – with a mouse called Mickey!

1930 –1938

It was in his early years that Mickey Mouse underwent a

noticeable visual transformation. Between 1928 and 1938, the

black-and-white mouse became a hero in red trousers.

1940

“Fantasia”, with Mickey as the Sorcerer's

Apprentice, was the third full-length

cartoon film from Walt Disney Studios.

1950 –1966

Over the years, Disney continued to develop Mickey’s

appearance. And his adventures continue to enthral

one generation after another.

2000

Again in red trousers , but now

in 3-D, Mickey is still a hit in

the new millennium.
