MICKEY MOUSE TURNS 86 !
By : RaNay Casper November 18th , 1928 is Mickey Mouse ’ s birthday . Mickey will be 86 years old this year ! Ten of Mickey ’ s cartoons have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film . One of which is Lend a Paw won the award in 1942 . He was the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . Mickey Mouse was created as a replacement for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit . In spring of 1928 , Walt Disney got inspiration for Mickey Mouse from a tame mouse at his desk at Laugh-O-Gram Studio in Kansas City . Mickey only has three fingers and a thumb on each hand , and according to Disney was a financial and artistic decision . In 215 , Hugh Harman found Warner bros . and Metro Goldwyn-Mayer with Rudolf “ Rudy ” Isling had sketched mice around a photograph of Walt Disney . The first word that Mickey mouse had ever spoke in the cartoon world was “ hot dogs !” Animator UB Iwerks designed Mickey ’ s body out of the circles in order to make the character simple to animate , which had become a character ’ s trademarks . His design apparent in his ears , it also appears circular no matter which way the character faces . Mickey characterized as a mischievous antihero , but was rebranded as an “ everyman ” a well-intentioned character with flaws . Then in 2009 Disney altered the character once again with the video game Epic Mickey , emphasising the adventurous side of the mouse . Walt Disney originally wanted to call Mickey “ Mortimer Mouse ” - until his wife Lillian said she felt Mortimer sounded too pretentious . Mickey first appeared in color in Parade of the Award Nominees in 1932 . The film was released to the public , having created for the 5th Academy Awards . Mickey ’ s first color film was The Band Concert , which was released in 1935 . Mickey ’ s first feature film was Fantasia in 1940 , as Sorcerer ’ s Apprentice . It introduced stereophonic sound to motion pictures through a sound system call Fantasound , known today as surround sound . Source : http :// www . ibtimes . co . uk /
