All Walt Disney Characters: The “lesser-known” faces of Disney. Do you know what movie Roquefort the mouse appears in? I do…it’s the Aristocats. You probably know by know that I am a fan of all-things Disney, and that includes some of the lesser-known of all Walt Disney characters. My husband decided to quiz me one night recently, on my knowledge of those less popular faces of Disney…and I think he was pretty surprised at how much I knew!
I have to admit, however, that I don’t know every single character ever brought to life by Disney. That’s why when I stumbled across this book Encyclopedia of Walt Disney’s Animated Characters: From Mickey Mouse to Hercules not too long ago, I had to have it. It’s an older book, so I was pretty excited to get my hands on a copy. Luckily amazon.com still has it available. My daughter giggled at me leafing through the book, because she has her own version: The Character Encyclopedia, which was a hand-me-down from her big brother. Since she’s still little, right now, she mainly enjoying looking at the pictures and asking me to help her learn who the various Pixar characters are.
So if you didn’t know that Rufus was the cat in the Disney movie “The Rescuers” or the name of the dog in “Peter Pan” (Nana, by the way…that’s the one my husband thought he could stump me on!), take a few minutes to learn the name of a lesser-known character in Walt Disney lore. It makes for a great conversation starter!
