Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Tales: Classic Stories

About this book

A charming collection of adventures based on Walt Disneys most popular animated short films. In 1928 Walt Disneys Steamboat Willie introduced the world to a mouse named Mickey and changed the landscape of animation and popular entertainment forever. In 1934 shortly after Mickeys debut and for more than ten years thereafter Good Housekeeping magazine featured full-color one-sheet retellings of the wildly popular Disney animated shorts that appeared before feature films in movie theaters. Accompanied by hand-painted illustrations by Disney artists such as Tom Wood and Hank Porter these beautifully rendered adaptations provided moviegoers a new and exciting way to experience the magic of Disney. Today new generations are rediscovering the heart and hilarity behind these classic characters and stories once relegated to the Disney archives. Mickey Mouse Tales provides adults a delightful and nostalgic trip down memory lane while introducing newer readers to the fun early adventures of Mickey and the gang. Presented here for the first time in a glorious hardcover package are beautifully illustrated adaptations of fifty of Disneys most popular and timeless short tales including: The Big Bad Wolf which introduced the world to the song Whos Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf; The Wise Little Hen starring Donald Duck in his first role; The Band Concert in which Mickey attempts to lead an orchestra during a tornado; Mickey Donald and Goofys Fire Brigade adventure; the magical mischief of Mickeys Magic Hat; and Mickey and Minnies romantic Mickeys Rival.
