Mickey with BalloonsDID YOU KNOW?
Mickey Mouse is perhaps the most universally
known and loved cartoon character known the
world over. Mickey has become an international
celebrity. How did the name Mickey get chosen?
Walt Disney and his wife were traveling by
train from New York to California. It was
while taking this trip that Walt Disney first
began doodling on paper a character sketch of
the mouse he had adopted as a pet while
working as a commercial artist in Kansas City.
Those doodles become the basis for Mickey
Mouse. Disney wanted to name his mouse
""Mortimor." But before the train trip ended,
Disney's wife convinced him to name the mouse
"Mickey." He reluctantly agreed.
With balloons in hand, this Mickey is ready
to party. This 19 x 15 inch picture is
decorated with 3 brightly colored mats.
The black wooden frame compliments the picture.
The envelope is a commemorative cover celebrating
the 65th anniversay of the first full length
animated cartoon film, "Steamboat Willie", featuring Mickey Mouse
(November 18, 1928). The envelope is postmarked
November 18, 1993, and features the official 6 cent
Walt Disney postage stamp and the 29 cent
steamboat greeting stamp. A short description
about how Mickey got his name is found on
the envelope. Complete with dust cover and
hanger. A MUST FOR A MICKEY COLLECTOR! Our Price: $56.00
