Mickey is so much better than Mortimer
Let us all be thankful to Lillian! Definitely better as Mickey:>)
Haha yep 😀
Mickey not only has become an icon in our life but entered the hearts of many children and adults at a time when laughter was needed. God Bless Walt for having the foresight to know how to bring laughter into our homes. God Bless Walt for being willing to listen to his wife and make it an easier name for children to remember. “Mickey” you will live on for ever in the hearts of men, women, and children. You are one of the greats. God Bless you.
Mickey Mouse has certainly brought (and continues to bring) joy and laughter to both young and old:>) So glad he was not dubbed Mortimer permanently…LOL:>)
