Early Classic Mickey. That adorable, big eared mouse, with whom we've laughed and cried! Just a mouse. Just a drawing. But to us, he was human! The first animated being of his kind.

But was he original after all.  :?:  It appears not  :!:

1000 years before Mickey ever appeared in Plane Crazy, a French artist fashioned a bronze brooch that looks astonishingly like Mickey Mouse. Of course, he didn't mean to invent Mickey; he was trying to sculpt a lion but failed miserably, inadvertently stumbling upon the most famous cartoon character of all time..  :wink:

Very interesting Javey

Just wonder was this completely by coincidence or was Mickey based on this?  If it's just coincidence then it reminds of the story i heard about the Death Star in Star Wars and this moon of Jupiter, apparently there is a moon that looks just like it, but it wasn't discovered until a few weeks after Star Wars was released in the cinemas :shock:   Spooky (but what a way to advertise a movie :lol: )
