This month, December 5th, 1901, film cartoonist and innovator, Walt Disney was born. Now, Mister Disney is 113 years old. Even though we already celebrated his 100th birthday in 2001, we still celebrate his forthcoming birthdays.
Walt is most famous for making some of my favorite movies such as "Snow White", "Fantasia", Bambi", and "Melody Time".
The famous story of Walt thinking of the idea of a cartoon mouse on a train has been told for many generations. Legend has it that Walt thought of a mouse when he listen to the train going "A-choo-choo-mouse, A-choo-choo-mouse". His friend, Ubbe Iwerks, drew the first picture of this particular mouse. Walt thought of naming the mouse "Mortimer". His wife, Lillian thought it was too snobby. So, the both of them started brain storming of a perfect name. Finally, Lillian came up with Mickey. Thus, Mickey Mouse, now 86, was born.
