Mickey Mouse Film Series
Mickey Mouse (originally Mickey Mouse Sound Cartoons) is a character-based series of animated short films produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. The films, which introduced and star Disney's most famous cartoon character, were released on a regular basis from 1928 to 1953 with three additional installments in 1983, 1990, and 1995. Besides launching the careers of several well-known characters, the series is notable for its innovation with sound synchronization and character animation.
The name "Mickey Mouse" was first used in the films' title sequences to refer specifically to the character, but was used from 1935 to 1953 to refer to the series itself as in "Walt Disney presents a Mickey Mouse". In this sense, "a Mickey Mouse" was truncated from "a Mickey Mouse sound cartoon" which was used in the earliest films. Black-and-white films rereleased during this time also used this naming convention. Mickey's name was also used occasionally to present other films which were formally part of other film series. Examples of this include several Silly Symphonies, Don Donald (1937), and Goofy and Wilbur (1939).

Found a rather large mouse in his stew.
Said the waiter, “Don’t shout,
Or wave it about,
Or the rest will be wanting one too.””

“All film directors, whether famous or obscure, regard themselves as misunderstood or underrated. Because of that, they all lie. They’re obliged to overstate their own importance.”
—François Truffaut (1932–1984)
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
