afraid of Mice! The real one's!

 

[VSL]

Yeah. I don't even think that it was him who created Mickey

 

[mickeyfan2]

Yes I knew that. Forgot where I read it.

 

[NMAmy]

No, I didn't know that. I'm terrified of mice but I love Mickey!

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Yeah. I don't even think that it was him who created Mickey

He created Mortimer mouse--and changed his name to Mickey (I think per his wife's suggestion).

I didn't know he was afraid of mice.

That's funny.

 

[Stitchfans]

how funny is that and look at how much money he has made for him and his family with a mouse

Disney created Mortimer on a train ride back to CA. His wife thought the name was silly and suggested Mickey
