Walt Disney gets most of the credit for creating Mickey Mouse. But few know the real story: Kansas City animator Ub Iwerks, Disney’s best friend, was the first to bring the iconic character to life. Then Mickey's success almost tore them apart for good.

"How did Ub Iwerks create Mickey Mouse?
After a record 700 drawings a day, Ub Iwerks animated the first Mickey Mouse cartoon single-handedly in two weeks, something that would have taken other animators months. You may have heard that Mickey was inspired by a pet mouse that Walt Disney had here in Kansas City at the Laugh-O-Gram Studio."
