Legendary actor Mickey Rooney is my 161st pick to be chosen as a Disney Legend.
Rooney was one of the many voices
of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit during the character's run at Universal Studios. For
Disney, he voiced adult Tod in the 1981 Disney animated film The Fox and the
Hound, and played the role of Lampie in the 1977 film Pete's Dragon. In
Flubber, he made a cameo appearance on Weebo's screen.
He also played Movie
Mason in the 2000 Disney Channel Original Movie Phantom of the Megaplex, and
the voice of Sparky in the 2001 direct-to-video film Lady and the Tramp II:
Scamp's Adventure, as well as a Smalltown resident in the 2011 film The
Muppets. He also played Old Bailey and James Turner in Walt Disney's Wonderful
World of Color.
In 1939, he was caricaturized by
Disney himself in the Donald Duckshort, The Autograph Hound. He claimed Mickey Mouse was
named after him, but most historians dismiss this claim
He was also the father of Mickey
Rooney, Jr. was once a Mouseketeer.
