Walt Disney World Guests Can Enjoy 75 "InspEARations" of Mickey Mouse Through April
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- In honor of Mickey Mouse's 75th anniversary, 75 of his friends have created a once-in-a-lifetime tribute called "Celebrate Mickey: 75 InspEARations," an artistic showcase on display at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort through April 2004.
Unveiled at the theme park in grand fashion on Nov. 18, 2003 -- 75 years to the day Mickey made his debut in "Steamboat Willie" -- 75 statues of Mickey Mouse salute the remarkable career of the beloved Disney icon.
The "Celebrate Mickey: 75 InspEARations" program brings together Disney Legends, artists, actors, athletes and musicians who lent their creative inspiration to uniquely designed statues of the famous mouse -- each standing six feet tall and weighing 700 pounds.
All 75 statues will be on display around the Magic Kingdom's entrance through April 2004. Afterward, they'll visit cities across the United States and the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif. Sotheby's will auction every statue in 2005 with all proceeds benefiting charities chosen by each artist.

Seventy-five years after he debuted in the first cartoon to use synchronized sound, Mickey Mouse is busier than ever at Walt Disney World Resort!
The Magic Kingdom recently opened "Mickey's PhilharMagic," a delightful 3-D attraction in which guests are immersed in scenes from classic Disney animated films. And just like Walt Disney broke new ground with "Steamboat Willie" in 1928, "Mickey's PhilharMagic" is the first theme park attraction to feature classic Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck created with breathtaking computer animation.
Walt Disney's passion for innovation is a tradition carried on proudly throughout The Walt Disney Company, whether through a ground-breaking attraction such as "Mickey's PhilharMagic" or a cutting-edge creation like Pal Mickey, a new talking Mickey Mouse toy that uses sophisticated wireless technology to help guide guests through the Walt Disney World theme parks with fun facts and timesaving tips.
"I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing: that it was all started by a mouse," Walt once said.
