Happy Birthday, Mickey Mouse!

Believe it or not, but Mickey Mouse turns 80 today! Technically, he appeared in two other animated shorts before Steamboat Willie (1928), but that is the movie which jump-started Mickey's 'career.'

You can go here to see Mickey and his friends. Or go here to Mickey's Wikipedia site (Mickey Wikipedia - perhaps a new character in the making?) Amazing to see how many movie and TV projects Mickey has been involved in over the years - also lawsuits.

And speaking of Disney, my favorite Disney movie of all time? Animation: Toy Story 2 (1999). Live action: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003).

What's your favorite Disney flick?

Tron and The Black Hole, but, if we're talking the proper Disney canon, then it would be the underrated The Arisocats.
