Mickey The Story Of A Mouse On Disney+

I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing—that it was all started by a mouse.

There is something so special about Mickey Mouse. He makes me feel joyful, safe, magical, imaginative, passionate, and kind. Mickey makes me smile and feel like a kid again. He makes me believe that anything is possible. On Friday I was invited to a virtual snack-n-sketch birthday celebration for Mickey Mouse. It was so fun to celebrate Mickey's birthday, watch the Disney Original Documentary Mickey The Story Of A Mouse and participate in a sketch tutorial with Bret Iwan (the voice of Mickey Mouse).

One of the world’s most beloved icons, Mickey Mouse is recognized as a symbol of joy and childhood innocence in virtually every corner of the globe. Dreamed up at a low point in Walt Disney’s burgeoning career, Mickey became an overnight sensation when he starred in the first sync-sound animated short, Steamboat Willie. Through the decades that followed, the character evolved into strikingly different versions of himself that reflect both his creator’s remarkable career and dramatic societal shifts in the nation he came to represent.

Thank you so much to Disney for inviting me to be part of such a special day. Thank you for the goodies and the sketch tutorial. The kids had the best time learning to draw Mickey Mouse.
