    Description

    This three-page article appeared in the September 1939 issue of The Country Gentleman, about a decade after Mickey Mouse was introduced to the world and became a sensation. “Mickey Angelos” is a play on Michaelangelo…
    There are sketches of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, as well as a photo of two Walt Disney Studio employees.
    Mickey Mouse is the mascot of The Walt Disney Company. He was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studios in 1928. An anthropomorphic mouse who typically wears red shorts, large yellow shoes, and white gloves, Mickey is one of the world's most recognizable characters.
    Created as a replacement for a prior Disney character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Mickey first appeared in the short Plane Crazy, debuting publicly in the short film Steamboat Willie (1928), one of the first sound cartoons. He went on to appear in over 130 films. Mickey appeared primarily in short films, but also occasionally in feature-length films. Ten of Mickey's cartoons were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, one of which, Lend a Paw, won the award in 1942. In 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
