Read the passage and complete the time line on the next page.
2b
When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind
Mickey was Walt Disney. He
became very rich and successful.
In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons
with Mickey.
Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular. One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In his early films, Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie.
However, he was always ready to try
his best. People went to the cinema
to see the “little man” win.
Most of them wanted
to be like Mickey.
On November 18, 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today’s cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still knows and loves him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey’s
