January 13, 1930 - The first Mickey Mouse short is released...

| Hurray for our side! Yay - Mickey! THE FIRST MICKEY TOO - not Mantle, not Rourke... OUR GENUS IS THE GENIUS that actually prolonged "Mick" trying to... ah... shorten it! | |

| You guys have an inferiority complex about your smallishness... admit it! | |

MM had been created as a REPLACEMENT... just to keep Disney's company afloat! Big D had originally banked everything on a hot HARE propriety...

| Oswald the Lucky Rabbit... ME! | |

|
 |
| | |
| A not-so hot RARE opportunity if you ask ME! Tee-Hee! Disney dude created ya for one Charles Mintz of Universal Studios... | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
Not surprisingly, Mintz FIRED Disney shortly after Obnoxious Oswald's... ah... introduction!
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Oh yeah? It was MISCHIEVOUS MICKEY too - early on in his lousy shorts...! | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| Disney wanted bigger budgets... Oswald went on to inspire HBO's "OZ" series... | |
