Tommy Druen: Unique Contributions Previous Column: Looking for Happiness By Tommy Druen Rejected and dejected, a 27-year-old Walt Disney found himself on a train departing New York City in February of 1928. His trip had aimed to secure a more favorable contract with Universal Pictures for his work on shorts featuring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Failing to secure an acceptable offer, he now faced a grueling 72-hour solo train ride back to Los Angeles, immersed in his own thoughts. This cross-country trip would prove to be the most pivotal in Disney's life. It was during this journey, trying to think of an alternative to Oswald, that he first conceived the idea of a cartoon mouse. The inspiration came from a real-life mouse he used to feed at his desk seven years earlier in Kansas City. Collaborating with Ub Iwerks, his close friend and creative partner, Disney brought his concept to life. Within ten months, Mickey Mouse made his theatrical debut in Steamboat Willie. Mickey was much more than the average cartoon character. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2024-02-06 09:17:04 | Comments | Printable version
