Iwerks was considered by many to be Walt Disney's oldest friend, and spent most of his career with Disney and that explains a lot.
Just look at the guy--he was already being portrayed by Johnny Depp in 1923!

Hopefully nobody that actually looks anything like these characters will be offended.

An amazingly awesome cartoon, I like the opium dance as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat if he had become the star instead of Mickey Mouse, but I suppose they're just pretty much the same character!
