Is it true? Is there a segment of the population that believes WALT DISNEY invented animation? DENNIS NYBACK's Fuck Mickey Mouse examines how the other Hollywood animation studios reacted to the Disney juggernaut in the 1930's and 1940's. He focuses on three tactics employed by Mr W. Disney's pre-eminent competition: Rip him off, beat him to the punch, or make vicious fun of him.
