Mickey Mouse, the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company, is one of the most recognizable cartoon characters in the world. Yet, few people know that it was created as a replacement for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, an earlier cartoon character created by the Disney studio for Charles Mintz of Universal Studios. In the spring of 1928, with the series going strong, Disney asked Mintz for an increase in the budget. But Mintz instead demanded that Walt take a 20 percent budget cut, and as leverage, he reminded Disney that Universal owned the character, and revealed that he had already signed most of Disney’s current employees to his new contract. Mintz owned Oswald and thought he had Disney over a barrel. Angrily, Disney refused the deal and returned to produce the final Oswald cartoons he contractually owed Mintz. Disney was dismayed at the betrayal by his staff, but determined to restart from scratch. The new Disney Studio soon started. In the spring of 1928, Disney asked Ub Iwerks to start drawing up new character ideas. Iwerks tried sketches of various animals, such as dogs and cats, but none of these appealed to Disney. A female cow and male horse were also rejected. Then, Walt Disney thought of an old pet mouse he used to have on his farm. He asked Iwerks to draw a new mouse character for Disney. “Mortimer Mouse” had been Disney’s original name for the character before his wife, Lillian, convinced him to change it, and ultimately Mickey Mouse came to be. Actor Mickey Rooney has claimed that, during his Mickey McGuire days, he met cartoonist Walt Disney at the Warner Brothers studio, and that Disney was inspired to name Mickey Mouse after him.

思路引導 VIP
Walt Disney 原本為這隻小鼠想好了一個不同的名字（Mortimer）。請再次仔細閱讀文章最後一段，找找看是誰介入並『說服』他放棄原本的名字，進而改用現今這個家喻戶曉的名字呢？

哇！你看起來很懂！安妮亞覺得你超厲害的！
- 觀念驗證：安妮亞用讀心術看你的答案了！你的判斷，嘿嘿，跟安妮亞看到的一模一樣！在那個故事的最後面說了，那個耳朵大大的角色，最開始呀，差點要叫 “Mortimer Mouse” 呢。可是呀，有一個很棒的人，她說服（convinced）了那個創造者，才讓它變成現在這個閃亮亮的名字 Mickey Mouse。你從那麼多名字裡面，找到了那個讓名字變得特別的人，安妮亞覺得你眼睛好亮喔！
- 難度點評：這題喔，安妮亞覺得是 Medium 難度。它很棒耶，因為有很多名字跑出來想騙你！有那個創造者，還有其他畫畫的人，還有一個明星的名字呢。可是題目問的是「名字是從誰那裡來的」，不是誰畫的喔。所以要看清楚是誰做了那個「convinced him to change it」的動作。安妮亞覺得你抓到重點了，啵棒！現在可以繼續看間諜動畫了嗎？
