Walt Disney's hand-signed Mickey Mouse doll and personal animator's desk are two highlights of a massive Disney auction expected to yield $2 million to $3 million. The "Collecting Disney" sale, scheduled for June 18th at Los Angeles' Van Eaton Galleries, will feature over 700 lots of memorabilia from the Disney archives, Reuters reports.
"This particular doll was given to woman that he drove an ambulance with in 1917 in World War One," said gallery owner Mike Van Eaton, who estimated the signed item to bring between $50,000 and $70,000. "A lifelong friend of his, [Disney] gave her...

Mickey Mouse is Disney's most iconic character, but it would seem to be a mistake to call him the studio's biggest movie star. Maybe back in the days of Walt Disney's shorts that was correct, but he's only had a significant role in one of the classic animated features, Fantasia. Since then he's done other shorts, but he's now mainly a TV star. Last year's Plane Crazy, which showed in theaters attached to Frozen, was his first real vehicle for the big screen in almost 20 years. But in fact Mickey has made plenty of appearances in Disney's animated features, just in cameos and in the form of Easter eggs, many of which have only been spotted in the era of quality home video. For instance, animators paid homage to the famous anthropomorphic...

In Timothy S. Susanin’s book Walt Before Mickey: Disney's Early Years, readers are treated to a portrait of the famous animator from age 17 through his rise to international stardom. Directed by first-time filmmaker Khoa Le, Walt Before Mickey reveals the struggles Disney faced in the early days at his animation studio in Kansas when it was known as “Iwerks-Disney Commercial Artists.” Disney’s most popular character, Mickey Mouse, didn’t appear on film until 1929’s Plane Crazy, so when we say “early days,” we mean it. Thomas Ian Nicholas from American Pie portrays Disney, while Napoleon Dynamite’s Jon Heder (whoa) takes on the role of brother Roy. According to Design Taxi, this is a straight-to-video affair...

Flight is cool. It’s always been cool. Its sheer physical absurdity and majesty has inspired countless works of art. Look no further than the trio of Oscar-winning cartoons I featured back in April, all of them about birds. Animation is particularly adept at capturing the breathless drama of a creature shooting through the open air. That’s certainly part of why we are now facing a second DisneyToon Studios movie about sentient aircraft. Thanks to the impressive box office success of last year’s Planes, in the face of absolutely dismal reviews, this weekend brings us Planes: Fire and Rescue. The cast list includes not one, but three talking forklifts. That may very well be all that anyone needs to know about the film, and you will be forgiven if you don’t rush out to see it. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t seize another opportunity to celebrate the long love affair that...

Disney‘s Mickey Mouse started his screen journey in 1928 with a series of shorts, including Plane Crazy and Steamboat Willie. Now the classic cartoon character is coming back with a new short-form series of 2D comedy cartoons, Mickey Mouse. After a preview today at noon Pt on Disney.com, the series of 19 toon shorts will begin rolling out July 28 on Disney Channel, Disney.com and Watch Disney Channel, among other platforms. The announcement is among several being made today by Disney Channel, which is holding its upfront presentation in New York. While the direction and pacing of the new Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts are contemporary, they also are an homage to the art direction and storytelling of Walt Disney and his animators in the 1920s and ’30s. Each short finds Mickey in a different contemporary setting including Santa Monica, New York, Paris, Beijing, Tokyo, Venice and the Alps, facing a silly situation,...

Mickey Mouse, aged seven years, is the first film star to have repertory weeks. He has made cartoon films so popular that it is difficult to remember that the first animated cartoon was in 1911. In 1913 J. R. Bray drew a series which became highly popular and continued for five years.
By that time there were other animated pictures on the screen. Of these by far the most famous was Felix. He was rivalled by another feline hero, Krazy Kat, but he remained secure in the affections of the public until the appearance of Mickey Mouse. His downfall was caused not so much by the appearance of Walt Disney's character as by the arrival of sound. Mickey Mouse had appeared in two silent films, of which scant notice was taken. But when his pictures were synchronised with sound he had immediate success. Felix...
