00:00 The story behind the most famous mascot in the world.
00:02 Well, it all started with a disagreement between Walt Disney and Universal Studios.
00:06 At that time, they had created a character called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
00:10 The latter was quite popular and therefore represented a lot of money.
00:14 The problem is that Oswald belonged more to Universal than to Disney.
00:17 So, during negotiations that went wrong, Walter was removed from the project.
00:21 The latter, particularly irritated by the situation, had the idea of drawing a new character.
00:25 Just to prove to Universal that he didn't need them to create bangers.
00:29 It was then that he took his best pen and started creating a new animal.
00:32 A little mouse inspired by Charlie Chaplin, which he named Mortimer Mouse.
00:36 And which he quickly renamed after his wife's advice, Mickey Mouse.
00:39 The mouse made its first appearance in 1928 in the cartoon "Plane Crazy".
00:43 However, the public was not really convinced, to the limit of indifference.
00:47 Determined, he released a second, then a third.
00:50 But the result remained the same, indifference.
00:52 It was then that Walt Disney had an idea that would change everything, add sound.
00:55 And thus differentiate himself from other films, which at the time were still silent.
00:59 He therefore remade his first three films, adding a soundtrack.
01:02 And there, well, it's the jackpot.
01:03 Mickey finally found the success he deserved.
01:05 Until he became the legend he is today.
01:07 All this, because at the beginning, a guy decided to betray the wrong person.
