Создал : Уолт Дисней
Идея создания Микки Мауса появилась после того, как Уолт Дисней потерял права на своего первого популярного персонажа – удачливого кролика Освальда. В силу ряда обстоятельств права на кролика перешли к Universal Studios, и после этой истории Уолт Дисней всегда внимательно следил за соблюдением авторских прав на все свои работы.
Дисней утверждал, что именно благодаря коммерческому успеху Микки Мауса он приобрел финансовую и творческую независимость. Микки Маус с самого своего «рождения» зарабатывал деньги. Уже в 1929 году в продаже появились товары с изображением мышонка, позднее – комиксы и книги о его приключениях, куклы и даже телешоу. В 1934 году открыток с Микки было продано на сумму в 35 миллионов долларов. И это в самый разгар Великой депрессии!
