When Mickey Mouse was first created many people were skeptical on how a mouse would turn into a big sensation. Little did they know that soon enough this mouse would become a bigger sensation then all the cartoons before. Mickey Mouse was a help to some, helped many American families overcome the hardships that were present during the Great Depression and World War 2. This was probably one of the reasons why Disney was successful, because his animations provided people the opportunity to escape their worries and fears. Mickey Mouse gave people hope, with his cheerful spirit, during those times. With the hope that Americans got from Mickey they saw the good in life, this was a way in which Disney and Mickey transformed the American culture.
Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse transformed the American culture into a culture full of people of all ages who looked up to Disney and Mickey, and made this animated creature their idol. Americans had their hearts won by a little mouse who had no future in some peoples eyes, but to Disney, Mickey was a project that he had already begun and like all the others he needed to finish it, no matter all the negativity. Disney created Mickey but his wonderful ideas didn't stop when he passed away because even now many movies, amusement parks, and TV shows, are being made based on his first successful idea. Not even Disney himself could imagine all the success that has come to MIckey and the other cartoons, but like Disney himself would say " It all started with a mouse".
