Opis:
Myszka Miki (w oryginale Mickey Mouse) - fikcyjna postać z filmów animowanych, stworzona w studiu Walta Disneya.
Pierwszy raz postać ta pojawiła się na ekranie kina Colony w Nowym Jorku w filmie "Parowiec Willy" ("Steamboat Willie") z 18 listopada 1928 roku. Głosu postaci Myszki udzielił sam Walt Disney, który w 1931/1932 otrzymał za jej stworzenie Oscara.
Na początku lat 30. Mickey i jego przyjaciele nabrali barw dzięki technicolorowi.
Rywalem Mikiego do ręki Minnie w filmie Mickey's Rival (1936) był Mortimer - mysz, a właściwie postać myszopodobna. Mortimer to imię, jakie pierwotnie miał nosić Miki, jednak żona Disneya, Lillian, zasugerowała mężowi imię "Mickey", ponieważ "Mortimer" brzmiało jej zdaniem zbyt "dziewczęco". W większości przygód Mikiemu towarzyszy jego pies Pluto. Najlepszymi przyjaciółmi Myszki są Kaczor Donald oraz Goofy.
W 1940 Mickey zagrał w nagrodzonym Oscarem pełnometrażowym filmie "Fantazja".
W języku angielskim wyraz mouse (mysz) jest rodzaju nijakiego, a nie jak w języku polskim – żeńskiego. Sugeruje to polskim widzom, że Myszka Miki to dziewczynka, w rzeczywistości jest to chłopiec. Wyraz Mickey to zdrobnienie od imienia Michael – polskie Michał. W polskiej wersji językowej z początku pozostawiono wyraz Mickey, jednak później zaczęto zapisywać go tak, jak powinno się je wymawiać: Miki.

Plot Summary:
What is there to say about Mickey Mouse that hasn’t already been said? There had been popular animated characters before, but never to the same level of Mickey Mouse. He truly was the world’s first animated superstar. The contents of this, the first of four two-disc Walt Disney Treasures sets devoted to the Mouse, present an interesting period in Mickey’s life. Despite the fact that Disney had been making color shorts since 1932, Walt kept producing Mickey cartoons in black and white, because he felt that Mickey was already popular enough, and unlike the Silly Symphonies series, didn’t need the added novelty of being in color. So Mickey’s color debut did not come until 1935 in The Band Concert. Walt knew that Mickey’s first color appearance needed to be something special, which is precisely what The Band Concert is.
However, as Mickey made the leap to color, in many ways the writing was already on the wall, as Goofy, Pluto, and Donald Duck were increasingly appearing on the scene and were developing into funnier personalities who often stole the spotlight from him. As Leonard Maltin points out on this DVD, Mickey is not an intrinsically funny character, meaning that it became a chore to write and develop ideas for him. Therefore, Mickey began to have less screen time in his shorts, with more attention being given to Goofy, Donald, Pluto and, to a lesser extent, Clarabelle Cow, Horace Horsecollar and Clara Cluck.
Even rarer were shorts where Mickey appeared alone. Nevertheless, when Mickey was given a solo short, it was always something special. Mickey’s Rival (1936) showed a side that even today is seldom seen, Mickey’s jealous side. It is interesting to see the main character being so downtrodden, as Mortimer Mouse charms Minnie under Mickey’s nose. Also, Brave Little Tailor truly is one of the greatest shorts Disney ever produced, with wonderful "animation acting." It is well known that the Silly Symphonies were developed as a testing ground for animation, to see how far techniques could be developed, but it appears that they were not the only cartoons to
explore the medium;
Brave Little Tailor is the perfect example of how Walt wanted to make
drawings have believable emotions and not just be slapstick figures, which was a development that of course was leading to the first full-length animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Certain other shorts have characters or happenings very similar to elements that would appear in later features. For example, in 1938’s The Whalers we see a whale which bears more than just a passing resemblance to Monstro, who would appear two years later in Pinocchio in which a very similar chase scene occurs.
The quality of the first wave of Walt Disney Treasures was superior to the more recent releases. The discs are found inside a dark gray double keep case, which also contains a booklet listing the contents of the DVD, as well as a few images and quotes from Walt Disney. Finally, a lithograph of the poster from the original 1935 release of The Band Concert is enclosed. The case is housed inside a collectible tin, which is sturdier than the tins from more recent waves and a blue band with the signatures of both Roy E. Disney and Leonard Maltin wraps around the tin, again something which is missing from the recent waves. There were 150,000 copies of Mickey and Mouse in Living Color produced and the unique number of each copy was embossed onto the tin, again a luxury which has since been dropped. The first wave of the Treasures also had the back information printed onto the back of the tin.
