We watch cartoons with famous cartoon characters, without even suspecting that they were invented more than 60 years ago. Let's look at the most popular "oldies" in cartoons.
Snow White
The true creator of this character is not known. However, the Brothers Grimm, learning about the story that was walking among the people, were able to record and edit the legend of Snow White. For the first time, the Brothers Grimm fairy tale about the beautiful princess was published in 1812. The first animated film in which Snow White appeared was Walt Disney’s painting “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” of 1937. Snow White has not lost her popularity in our time. So, for example, in 2012 the picture "Snow White and the Hunter" was shot.
Mickey Mouse
The famous mouse has several parents. The animator Ab Iverks gave the appearance to the character, Walt Disney endowed him with a soul, and Lilian, the wife of Disney, gave the name to the mouse - Mickey. The very first cartoon with Mickey Mouse was called "Crazy Aircraft" and it was released back in 1928. In 2006, a new animated picture was released about the now popular mouse, the Mickey Mouse Club.
Tom and Jerry
Probably today there is no such child and adult who would not know this breathtaking duet. When I was little, I could not think that Tom and Jerry are the same age as my grandmother. But this is true. The famous cat and mouse began their journey since 1940.
Dumbo
This character came from a book by Helen Aberson. The first Dumbo cartoon was released in 1941 by Disney. Now the story of the famous elephant awaits a remake, scheduled for 2019.
Tom and Jerry - these characters are the next brainchild of Joseph Barbara and William Hannah. The film about the cunning cat and the clever mouse debuted in 1992, although pilot projects and commercials were launched already in 1940. In the 21st century, viewers were also pleased with the numerous episodes of the sequel to Tom and Jerry;
Sailor Popeye
This character was created by the famous cartoonist Elsie Segar. The character began his story back in 1929, when a new issue about a brave sailor came out.
