Micky 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, 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 both for children and adults. Since then, Mickey has starred in about 120 cartoons – often joined by the four famous characters: Donald Duck, Minnie, Goofy, 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. (World of English)
