In 1928 the right of creating Disney characters belonged to Universal Pictures. During those years Oswald the Lucky Rabbit already enjoyed a success. Its author Walt Disney applied to the company’s director with a request to increase the salary. In response, Disney was dismissed.
With bad mood but optimism Disney decided to start everything anew. He created the world’s most famous mouse – Mickey.
