00:00Three simple circles, a quarter and two dimes, probably the most universal symbol ever created by man, or mouse.
00:12Hi Mickey!
00:13What is it about Mickey Mouse?
00:16Mickey Mouse to me is light, there's like a lot of dark in the world, and he's hope.
00:21It's magical to be able to channel all of our hopes and dreams, the innocence that we eventually lose,
00:28and would like back.
00:31Never lose sight of one thing, but it was all started by a mouse.
00:35The story of Walt and Mickey wasn't just one continual success after success, it was stumble after stumble.
00:43Mickey Mouse started in the roaring 20s, but almost immediately a depression fell.
00:48You have groups saying, we want Mickey to help get us through World War II.
00:52The American dream has suffered, but Mickey is able to bring that back.
00:58Just like America splits in the 60s, Mickey Mouse splits as well, and those coexist in the swan character.
01:03If you have an issue with authority, Mickey Mouse is your guy.
01:06Mickey has taken the world by storm.
01:08This is something otherworldly.
01:12He gets so big that he becomes this reflection of who we are.
01:16How is that even possible with this little mouse?
01:22What would a culture from another planet think of seeing Mickey on everything?
01:26They might say, take me to your leader, and it would be Mickey.
01:30He had become this divine figure that you didn't mess with.
01:34We began a process to bring Mickey forward.
01:37He's everywhere.
01:38Everywhere.
01:38Everywhere.
01:39It's overwhelming.
01:41Like, leave me alone.
01:41Oh, no.
01:43Okay, let's do that again.
01:44Mickey is a thing we all share.
01:46There aren't many of those, right?
01:51Almost 100 years later, after all the things that Mickey has been through, he's still here.
02:02We love a mouse.
02:04How crazy is that?
02:05That's a little absurd.
02:07You've always been my best friend.
02:08Nick.
02:08Nick?
02:09Nick.
02:14I'm a horse.
