comment(s) / add a comment. Greetings to all! It's weekend again and this week let us know more about our all time Favourite Disney character, Mickey mouse's girlfriend, Minnie mouse!! Do you know?? Minerva "Minnie" Mouse, commonly known as Minnie Mouse or Mickey mouse's girlfriend is an animated character created by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney. She was first seen in the comic strip story, "The Gleam" by Merrill De Maris and Floyd Gottfredson. Marsi Kajsiu is the Albanian Minnie Mouse In 1928, Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks created Mickey Mouse to act as a replacement to his previous star Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. But Mickey could not fill the void alone. Among the few consistent character traits Oswald had developed before moving on to Universal Studios was his near-constant pursuit of potential sweethearts. So for Mickey to have a chance to emulate his predecessor at flirting, someone had to replace Oswald's many love interests. This replacement to Miss Rabbit, Miss Cottontail, Fanny and an uncertain number of unnamed nurses and dancers was to become Minnie Mouse. Minnie's fashion evolution.. Minnie was designed in the fashion of a "flapper" girl. She was so probably intended to follow the trends of then-modern youth culture, such as liking the color red, in an effort to add to her audience appeal. Her main outfit usually included a feminine bowler hat with a daisy sticking out of it, white gloves and a short dress. Along with Mickey, she was redesigned in the 1940s. Her hat was replaced with a large bow, and bows were added to her shoes as well. Her eyes were also given more detail. Throughout the forties and fifties, her look and personality became more conservative. This can be attributed to the fact that, as a result of The Great Depression and World War II, the culture of the USA had become more conservative, and the flapper girl style was falling out of fashion.

Let's take a breather and let us share with you a Phantasia Trivia today! Today will be the three cuddly siblings that we always known as the Three Little Pigs! Do you know?? The Three Little Pigs was written by James Orchard Halliwell-Phillips in the collection of 'The nursery rhymes of England' in 1886. However it was best well known for the tale written Joseph Jacobs in the 'English Fairy Tales' in 1890. The story illustrates the 3 main characters were sent off by their mother to "seek their fortune" and with that the three little pigs built their own houses in which the first 2 pigs' houses of straw and sticks respectively was blown down by the big bad wolf that let them to seek refuge in their brother's house of bricks. Failing to blow down the house of bricks, the big bad wolf decided to climb down the chimney to enter the house. Little did he know that what awaits him at the bottom of the chimney was a pot of boiling water that the 3 little pigs had prepared. There are also other variation of the story. One of which was written by Andrew Langs. In his story, the three piglets were named Browny, Whitey and Blacky and the big bad wolf was replaced by a fox instead. The story ends with Blacky saving his brother and sister from the fox den which was also different from the story written by Jacobs. There are more variation to the story which you can find out more from wikipedia http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Little_Pigs#section_1 .
