Mickey Mouse – a cartoon hero


What is a cartoon? It’s a film that tells a story by using moving drawings instead of real
people and places. Cartoons are usually amusing. The funniest cartoon characters in
children’s movies are animals which behave like people and have many crazy ideas which
make us laugh.
Cinema’s first cartoon character was Gertie the Dinosaur. She first appeared on the screen in
1909. Since then, a long list of cartoon stars have followed Gertie into the movies.
The greatest cartoon-maker in cinema history was Walt Disney, who has often been quoted as
saying, ‘It all started with a mouse.’ It's true. Mickey Mouse has become an international
cartoon superstar. Without him, Disney could not have made his own dreams come true.
Many artists worked on Mickey’s appearance and personality because Disney couldn’t draw
Mickey Mouse himself. They tried hard to make Mickey look angry, sad, scared or happy.
They changed his body a few times until they found the ideal shape for his head, body and
ears. Until 1946, Walt Disney provided Mickey’s voice himself.
Disney produced his first black and white Mickey Mouse cartoon in 1928. It was a great hit
with both children and adults. Since then, Mickey has starred in about 120 cartoons - often
joined by the four famous characters: Donald Duck, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto. They have
made Mickey’s adventures more colourful and amusing. They have also become children’s
favourite cartoon characters all over the world and ‘Disney’ is still the best-loved name in
children’s entertainment.
