Who&#8217;s Mortimer Mouse ?
When Walt Disney first created the cartoon back in 1928, he originally wanted to dub him &#8216;Mortimer Mouse&#8217;. It was only the timely intervention of his wife, who claimed the name sounded too pompous and suggested the now-famous alternative.

Talking Out Loud
For the first eight films in the Mickey Mouse film series, the famous character is seen laughing, crying and whistling but never fully conversant. It wasn&#8217;t until 1929&#8217;s black-and-white animated short, The Karnival Kid, that Mickey finally found his voice. His first words? &#8220;Hot dogs!&#8221;

Walk of Fame First
In 1978, Mickey Mouse became the first-ever cartoon character to receive his very own star on Hollywood&#8217;s Walk of Fame. The occasion marked his 50th birthday, and he paved the way for others in his animated posse, including Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny and Winnie the Pooh.
Cutting a Controversial Figure
While Mickey Mouse may be one of the world&#8217;s most well-loved characters, it seems he hasn&#8217;t always been as popular as most would assume. In fact, the child-friendly character has actually been <a href="http://mentalfloss.com/article/57540/11-times-mickey-mouse-was-banned">banned</a> in one country or another for decades, including Mussolini&#8217;s Italy and Nazi Germany in the &#8217;30s, the 1988 Seoul Olympics and as recently as 2014 in Iran.

A Rose by Any Other Name
While the physical attributes of Mickey Mouse are recognisable all over the world, the same cannot be said about his name. The petit rodent actually has numerous aliases around the world, including Mi Lao Shu in Chinese, Topolino in Italian, El Raton Mickey in Spanish and Musse Pigg in Swedish.

How did you become involved with Disney?
As someone who considered themselves inherently creative, I was always fascinated by Disney’s dedication to putting creativity at the forefront of everything it did, as well as its amazing ability to consistently create the most invitingly interesting products. I felt that this was completely in line with what I was looking for at the time. I joined the company back in 1996 and I’ve never really looked back.

What can you tell us about your current role at Disney?
Right now, I’m the Vice President of Creative and Product Development for the Asia-Pacific region. Essentially, I’m responsible for formulating a unified creative vision for all our team members across the region. This means designing Disney creative assets that tell our brand story, while also working closely with our business strategy teams to help create new products that are in keeping with our overall philosophy while remaining wholly aspirational.

How do you think Disney has managed to stay so relevant for quite so long?
Despite being a globally recognised brand, localisation has really been the key to its success. We do our utmost to incorporate elements of local culture in any relevant and unique Disney story we set out to tell in any of our markets. During last year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, for instance, we released a range of mooncakes featuring some of our best-loved characters.
Then, of course, there’s digitisation, which is clearly the most rapidly-developing sector right now. Apart from the expected social media platforms, many of which we are already using to help broaden our demographic, we’re also placing a real emphasis on e-commerce, especially within the Greater China market.

How do you juggle Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars with the more traditional aspects of the wider Disney universe?
The key to finding the right strategy lies in knowing just what consumers are looking for. To that end, Disney spends a huge amount of money on research, commissioning studies and analysing a wide range of demographics. The end result is that we are very aware of what people want.
We know, for instance, the strong appeal our princess characters – such as Cinderella and Snow White – have for young women. Equally, we know that men prefer the action and superheroics that come courtesy of Marvel and Star Wars. Meanwhile, with the younger kids, Pixar characters like Wreck-It Ralph are hugely popular. Ultimately, it’s all about targeting the right products at the right consumer group and making sure they fall in love with us regardless of their age or gender.

Given the breadth and depth of your back catalogue, is there still one character that really stands out for you?
That would have to be Mickey Mouse. He’s the character that Walt Disney himself developed and one that remains synonymous with our entire brand. His engaging personality, innate curiosity and happy-go-lucky nature have seen him consistently win hearts over the years, even though he’s now 90 years old. At heart, though, I think his appeal lies in the fact that he is pretty much the embodiment of eternal hope.
What did you do to mark Mickey’s 90th in Hong Kong?
We rolled out a variety of promotions, exhibitions and products that all commemorated this particular milestone. A few months ago, we also partnered with Times Square Hong Kong to stage an exclusive 90 Years of Mickey exhibition, which featured more than 90 unique pieces of memorabilia from the Walt Disney Archive, including 20 that had never been seen in public before. We’ve also partnered with a number of local companies to create various limited-release designs that are exclusive to the city.
Thank you.

Mouse Builder: For Allen Au-Yeung, working at Disney is a dream job

We&#8217;ve had Mickey on our mind a lot lately! Just last week, we attended the release and collaboration between <a href="//www.gafencushop.com/scad-students-disney-collaboration/">SCAD Hong Kong</a>&nbsp;and Disney for Mickey&#8217;s 90th anniversary. Much to our delight, SCAD aren&#8217;t the only ones participating in Mickey&#8217;s birthday.

The Magic of Mickey: 7 luxury items to celebrate Mickey Mouse’s 90th anniversary

The halls of Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) Hong Kong were abuzz with excitement and celebration last Thursday night, as they debuted their partnership with The Walt Disney Company.
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-40801-2" width="640" height="360" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/SCAD-Gafencu.m4v?_=2" /><a href="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/SCAD-Gafencu.m4v">//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/SCAD-Gafencu.m4v</a></video></div>
&nbsp;
Through a sponsored design project to commemorate the 90th anniversary celebration of the iconic character Mickey Mouse, 27 of the college’s students from different disciplines were chosen to work on the impressive collaboration. Focusing on the design concept of Mickey Mouse’s journey through time here in Hong Kong, SCAD students created sixteen new looks over a course of ten weeks, which showcased the up and coming trend of streetwear fashion.

The fashion line was a love letter, so to speak, to Hong Kong’s past, present, and future street culture, inspired by everyone’s favourite childhood Mouse. When asked about what inspiration she took from her time here in Hong Kong, Fashion Design student Emilie Meka (B.F.A., Fashion), from Montréal, Canada told Gafencu, &#8220;I was in awe of the neon lights of Hong Kong especially the cities skyline. Mickey Mouse is a really warm character whereas Hong Kong is such a fast-paced city – I wanted to find a way to mix the two together&#8221;.

By giving students the opportunity to receive one-on-one mentorship from the creative team at Disney, the collaboration intended to provide budding designers an environment that would encourage their upcoming creative careers and give a real hands-on experience of what life outside the classroom holds for them.
