Disney + has released a teaser trailer for its next documentary Mickey Mouse: The story of a mouse. The document was produced to celebrate the Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary.
As one of the most beloved characters in the world, “Mickey Mouse is recognized as a symbol of childish joy and innocence in virtually every corner of the globe. Dreamed of at a low point in Walt Disney’s burgeoning career, Mickey became an overnight sensation when he starred in the first animated short with synchronized sound, “Steamboat Willie”. Over the ensuing decades, the character evolved into startlingly different versions of himself that reflect both his creator’s extraordinary career and the dramatic social changes in the nation he has come to portray. Director Jeff Malmberg and Oscar-winning producer Morgan Neville (who had previously collaborated for Don’t you wanna be my neighbor?) examines the cultural significance of the nearly 100-year-old cartoon mouse. The documentary also features an exclusive animated short, “Mickey Mouse in a Minute”, created by the legendary hand-drawn team of Walt Disney Animation Studios. “
Marjon Javadi, vice president of Disney Original Documentary, said: “Ninety-nine years ago Walt Disney created a mouse that would become one of the most beloved characters in the world. We are thrilled that the world can see Mickey Mouse in a way they have never seen before. Our award-winning filmmaking team captures Mickey’s journey over the years and reminds us why he made such an impact on us. “
Mickey Mouse: The story of a mouse features Disney animators Eric Goldberg, Mark HennAnd Randy Haycockand animation artist Floyd Norman. Art historian Carmenita Higginbothamdirector of the Walt Disney Archives Rebecca Clineand archivist Kevin Kern also appear.

The document was directed by Jeff Malmberg (Marwencol), who stated in a statement: “Mickey Mouse is a symbol we see every day of our lives. We all know Mickey Mouse, but it means different things to different people. We felt like Mickey deserved a joyful but also honest documentary.
