Editing Mickey Mouse (section)

==Portrayal==
Mickey is traditionally characterized as a sympathetic [[underdog]] who gets by on pluck and ingenuity in the face of challenges much bigger than himself.<ref name="Jackson 2003 439–444">{{Cite book |last=Jackson |first=Kathy |title=Mickey and the Tramp: Walt Disney's Debt to Charlie Chaplin |publisher=The Journal of American Culture |year=2003 |edition=26th |pages=439–444}}</ref> As a mouse, an inherently vulnerable creature, Mickey is often depicted as having minimal resources and attributes at his disposal. Consequently, he must rely on sheer wit to overcome obstacles. The character is frequently pitted against larger-than-life villains to accentuate this idea; namely the hulking cat Pegleg Pete, and numerous one-shot antagonists such as the giants of ''[[Giantland]]'' (1933) and ''Brave Little Tailor'' (1938), the [[King (playing card)|king of cards]] in ''[[Thru the Mirror]]'' (1936) and Mortimer Mouse in ''[[Mickey's Rival]]'' (1936). These adversaries were decidedly portrayed as overbearing figures of authority, thusly painting Mickey as a rebellious hero. When not facing an opponent, Mickey is oft placed in situations where his pursuits of grandeur or simple accomplishment lead to disastrous results, typically at the hands of his own impulsivity, as was the case in [[Fantasia (1940 film)|''The Sorcerer's Apprentice'']] (1940) among others. Mickey is not portrayed as a hero in the traditional sense, instead acting as a subversion of the stock archetype. He often fumbles his way through adventures; his small size and misplaced optimism serving as his dominating flaws. His manner of problem-solving is generally unorthodox to comedic effect; in ''[[Ye Olden Days]]'' (1933), Mickey's [[jousting]] horse was an infantile mule. In [[Mickey Mouse (film series)|''Shanghaied'']] (1934), Mickey battled with a [[Swordfish|broadbill]] in place of a sword. The underdog nature of Mickey's character has been interpreted by historians as a symbolic reflection of Walt Disney's early struggles as a farm boy breaking into the imposing Hollywood industry in the 1920s.<ref name=PBS1>{{cite web |author=<!--Not stated--> |title=Video: Walt Disney |url=http://video.pbs.org/video/2365556519/ |date=September 14, 2015 |work=[[PBS]] |access-date=September 19, 2015 |archive-date=December 13, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151213031455/http://video.pbs.org/video/2365556519/ |url-status=live }}</ref> It has also been perceived as an allegory for the [[Great Depression in the United States]], with Mickey's unrelenting optimism symbolizing the "American endurance to survive" in the face of economic woes.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Tatham |first=Chelsea |title=Mickey Mouse and Merry Melodies: How Disney and Warner Bros. Animation Entertained and Inspired Americans During the Great Depression |publisher=The Saber and Scroll Journal |year=2019 |pages=40 |language=English}}</ref>

Charlie Chaplin, known by audiences of the time for his role as the "[[The Tramp|Little Tramp]]", was identified by Disney as a source of inspiration for the Mickey character. Disney himself was a noted admirer of Chaplin's work, ascribing his development as a storyteller to the actor. In ''The American Magazine'' for March 1931, Disney explained, "I think we were rather indebted to Charlie Chaplin for the idea [of Mickey Mouse]. We wanted something appealing and we thought of a tiny bit of a mouse that would have something of the wistfulness of Chaplin{{nbsp}}... a little fellow trying to do the best he could."  American journalist [[Alva Johnston]] noted the similarities between the two figures, stating, "Chaplin was a kind of godfather to Mickey Mouse. It is now and always has been the aim of Disney to graft the psychology of Chaplin upon Mickey. The two universal characters have something in common in their approach to their problems. They have the same blend of hero and coward, nitwit and genius, mug and gentleman."<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Korkis |first=Jim |date=August 24, 2016 |title=The Charlie Chaplin Connection Part Two: Mickey as Chaplin |url=https://www.mouseplanet.com/11527/The_Charlie_Chaplin_Connection_Part_Two_Mickey_as_Chaplin |access-date=August 15, 2023 |archive-date=November 29, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231129185649/https://www.mouseplanet.com/11527/The_Charlie_Chaplin_Connection_Part_Two_Mickey_as_Chaplin |url-status=live }}</ref>

Besides Chaplin, other notable figures of the silent era have been credited to Mickey's characterization. Chief among them was [[Douglas Fairbanks]], whose swashbuckling screen adventures would inspire Mickey's animated [[Epic film|epics]]. Ub Iwerks wrote in 1970, "He was the super-hero of his day, always winning, gallant and swashbuckling. Mickey's action was in that vein. He was never intended to be a sissy, he was always an adventurous character. I thought of him in that respect, and I had him do naturally the sort of thing Doug Fairbanks would do."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Solomon |first=Charles |date=November 13, 1988 |title=Mickey Mouse : World's Most Famous Rodent Nears 60, and He's Had More Lives Than a Cat |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-11-13-ca-404-story.html |website=Los Angeles Times |access-date=August 15, 2023 |archive-date=August 15, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230815151411/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1988-11-13-ca-404-story.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Disney was also noted to have been influenced by Fairbanks, along with other screen personalities including [[Harold Lloyd]] and [[Fred Astaire]].<ref name=":1" />

An adaptive character, Mickey's personality lends itself to function within a multitude of situations, while retaining core elements of its design. He is not bound to a particular formula or motif, and as such, has been portrayed in a variety of settings and occupational roles. His film series, meanwhile, spans numerous genres besides the traditional [[Musical film|musical comedy]]; [[The Mad Doctor (1933 film)|''The Mad Doctor'']] (1933) and ''[[Runaway Brain]]'' (1995) parody the horror genre, whereas stories such as ''[[Mickey's Good Deed]]'' (1932) and [[The Prince and the Pauper (1990 film)|''The Prince and the Pauper'']] (1990) are largely dramatic works. This versatility is said to have attributed to Mickey's popularity with audiences. As expressed by writer Chelsea Tatham, "From his beginnings, Mickey was able to appeal to a wide audience. He catered to neither the 'highbrow' nor the 'hick,' but the ordinary intelligent picturegoer."<ref name=":0" />

There are a number of catchphrases and colloquialisms associated with the character. Mickey's first spoken words, "Hot dog!" from ''[[The Karnival Kid]]'' (1929), has endured as a recurring phrase for the character, made especially recognizable to modern audiences for its extensive use in the preschool television program ''[[Mickey Mouse Clubhouse]]''.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book |title=LIFE Mickey Mouse at 90: LIFE Celebrates an American Icon |publisher=Liberty Street |year=2018 |language=English}}</ref> Mickey's signature closing line, "See ya real soon!", is derived from the "[[Mickey Mouse March]]" reprise from the original 1955 run of ''[[The Mickey Mouse Club]]'' ("M-I-C; see you real soon!").<ref name=":2" />

===Voice actors===

Between 1929 and 1930, studio staff members would provide Mickey's dialogue and vocal effects for some cartoons.<ref name="CartoonVoices1">{{cite book|last1=Scott|first1=Keith|title=Cartoon Voices of the Golden Age, Vol. 1|date=3 October 2022|publisher=BearManor Media|page=|language=en}}</ref> Composer Carl W. Stalling provided lines for Mickey in the 1929 shorts ''The Karnival Kid'' and ''Wild Waves'' and performed his singing voice in  ''Mickey's Follies''. From this point on, Mickey was voiced by Walt Disney himself, being a job in which he appeared to take great personal pride.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Barrier|first1=Michael|title=Funnyworld Revisited: Carl Stalling|url=http://www.michaelbarrier.com/Funnyworld/Stalling/Stalling.htm|website=MichaelBarrier.com|access-date=July 1, 2021|archive-date=November 10, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171110002607/http://www.michaelbarrier.com/Funnyworld/Stalling/Stalling.htm|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Wild Waves 2">{{cite web|title=Hit the Beach (Part 1)|url=https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/hit-the-beach-part-1/|website=cartoonresearch.com|access-date=July 1, 2021|archive-date=June 6, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230606085910/https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/hit-the-beach-part-1/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="CartoonVoices2">{{cite book|last1=Scott|first1=Keith|title=Cartoon Voices of the Golden Age, Vol. 2|date=3 October 2022|publisher=BearManor Media|page=|language=en}}</ref> Helen Lynd filled in for Disney on one occasion in 1930.<ref name="CartoonVoices1"/>

However, by 1946, Disney was becoming too busy with running the studio to do regular voice work which meant he could not do Mickey's voice on a regular basis anymore. It is also speculated that his [[tobacco smoking|cigarette habit]] had damaged his voice over the years.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Littlechild |first1=Chris |title=Why Walt Disney Stopped Being the Voice of Mickey Mouse |url=https://www.grunge.com/597082/why-walt-disney-stopped-being-the-voice-of-mickey-mouse/ |website=Grunge |publisher=Static Media |access-date=February 11, 2022 |date=September 7, 2021 |archive-date=March 28, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230328063535/https://www.grunge.com/597082/why-walt-disney-stopped-being-the-voice-of-mickey-mouse/ |url-status=live }}</ref> After recording the ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'' section of ''[[Fun and Fancy Free]]'', Mickey's voice was handed over to veteran Disney musician and actor [[Jimmy MacDonald (sound effects artist)|Jimmy MacDonald]].<ref name="CartoonVoices1"/> Walt would reprise Mickey's voice occasionally until his passing in 1966, such as in the introductions to the original 1955–1959 run of ''[[The Mickey Mouse Club]]'' TV series, the "Fourth Anniversary Show" episode of the [[Walt Disney anthology television series#Walt Disney's Disneyland (1954–1958)|Walt Disney's Disneyland]] TV series that aired on September 11, 1957, and the ''Disneyland USA at Radio City Music Hall'' show from 1962.<ref>[http://www.dvdmg.com/yourhostwaltdisney.shtml"Your Host, Walt Disney Review"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220827162159/http://www.dvdmg.com/yourhostwaltdisney.shtml |date=August 27, 2022 }}.
