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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExtensive archival research sheds new light on little-known chapters of Mickey’s career, 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, and César Ferioli.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMickey Mouse has left an indelible mark on everyday culture as well as high art, becoming a favored subject for Pop artists such as \u003ca data-uw-original-href=\"\/en\/collection\/andy-warhol\/\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"PR\" href=\"https:\/\/www.taschen.com\/en\/collection\/andy-warhol\/\"\u003eAndy Warhol\u003c\/a\u003e, Keith Haring, and Roy Lichtenstein.
