Description

A comprehensive collection of texts about Mickey Mouse, from his debut in 1928 to the present day. This anthology tracks the fortunes of Walt Disney's flagship character, featuring contributions from notable authors and critics. The eighty-one texts included in A Mickey Mouse Reader span over eight decades, documenting Mickey's rise to fame through his early cartoons, such as Steamboat Willie, and his continued popularity in the years that followed. The collection also includes two important early critiques of Mickey Mouse, one by Gilbert Seldes and another by E. M. Forster. This book provides a unique insight into the enduring appeal of Mickey Mouse, exploring themes such as the American character's traits, corporate synergy, and cultural significance.
