Mickey Mouse Was Born on a Train

from The Daily Note with James A. Brown

In 1929, Walt Disney lost the rights to his character Oswald the Rabbit and found himself broke and starting over. On the train back to California, he sketched a new character, a happy mouse with big ears he first called Mortimer. That drawing ended up changing animation history.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
