Many are the characters of disney that become memorable within the universe of animations and films in general. In this list, some names that we can mention are Aladdin, Snow White along with her seven dwarfs, Princess Ariel, from the movie ‘The Little Mermaid’, among others.
However, one of the most striking characters of the production company is the couple Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The rats that captivated the public were always very well received by the public, which makes the viewer wonder, many times, where they came from — and RECREIO will tell you now!
How did Minnie Mouse come about?
Since 1928, the duo Mickey and Minnie have enchanted the public, having their first appearance in the animation ‘O Vapor Willie’ (Steamboat Willie), however, the appearance of Minnie Mouse has a direct connection with that of Mickey, where the story is unfolded in documentary ‘Mickey: The Story of a Mouse’, which is on Disney+.
According to the documentary that contextualizes the story of the characters, it is explained that the filmmaker walt disney came up with the idea for one of the brand’s most famous creations while on a trip. So much so that, in an excerpt from an interview present in the documentary, waltz says: “Mickey Mouse came to my mind on a trip to Hollywood, at a time when my luck and that of my brother, roywas not good, and disaster seemed to be approaching”.
So, after that clarity in the designer’s mind, it was at that moment that he started working on the animation ‘O Vapor Willie’ in the garage of his house. But, for it to be a complete story, the author believed it was necessary to create a companion for Mickey — and, in this way, Minnie Mouse appears, also having her debut in the same short.
Still, even having a series of her own, Minnie has already appeared in 74 different animations alongside Mickey and Pluto, the dog.
In addition, one of the interesting factors of the production involving the character is that, at the beginning of the first animations, those who voiced them were the members of the production together with the creator, waltzdisney.
It was only in the 1930s that the character gained the voice Marcellite Garner, which belonged to the arts department. After that, Minnie already had the voice of Russi Taylor it’s from Kaitlyn Robrockafter taylor died.
