“We felt that the public, and especially the children, like animals that are cute and little. I think we are rather indebted to Charlie Chaplin for the idea. We wanted something appealing, and we thought of a tiny bit of a mouse that would have something of the wistfulness of Chaplin - a little fellow trying to do the best he could.” ThinkingTryingChildrenLittlesIdeasWantedFeltBitsAnimalFellowsTinyCuteMiceDo The BestCharlieIndebtedChaplinWistfulness Author:Walt Disney
“On the farm, I had chores. I had a calf. We had a herd of cattle in the pasture. We'd go and get me a calf at a cow auction with Amish people, which I would raise. I gave it a bottle every day, in this cute little coop, like a giant dog coop almost. I've always been a big animal person.” PeopleLittlesPersonsBigsPastAnimalDogRaisesCuteGiantsBottlesFarmsCowsHerdsCattleChoresPasturesCalvesAuctionsAmish Author:Krysten Ritter
