In 1928, Walt Disney’s “Steamboat Willie” introduced the world to a
mouse named Mickey, and changed the landscape of animation and popular
entertainment forever. In 1934, shortly after Mickey’s 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 Disney’s
most popular and timeless short tales, including: The Big Bad Wolf, which introduced the world to the song “Who’s 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 Goofy’s Fire Brigade adventure; the magical mischief of Mickey’s Magic Hat; and Mickey and Minnie’s romantic Mickey’s Rival.
