Product detailed description
Mickey Mouse: The Ultimate History celebrates the enduring legacy of the most iconic cartoon character of all time. From his first appearance on November 18, 1928, to his present-day cultural relevance, this comprehensive volume explores Mickey’s journey through art, animation, and global recognition.
With exclusive access to Disney’s extensive archives as well as public and private collections, the book features original concept art, story sketches, background paintings, animation stills, and rare historical photos. Iconic works such as Steamboat Willie, The Band Concert, and Brave Little Tailor are joined by feature-length classics like Fantasia and Fun and Fancy Free.
Beyond animation, the book uncovers lesser-known stories including the creation of the Mickey Mouse Club and Mickey’s role as a symbol of patriotism during World War II. It highlights legendary artists like Ub Iwerks, Floyd Gottfredson, Carl Barks, and Giorgio Cavazzano, showing Mickey’s evolution through decades of comics and media.
As a cultural icon, Mickey has inspired generations of artists—from Andy Warhol to Keith Haring. This book is not just a history, but a heartfelt tribute to the mouse that started it all. Over 90 years later, Mickey still enchants the world with charm and imagination.
