Mousecar

The Mousecar is an in-house award given by The Walt Disney Company for a variety of reasons, including service to the company as well as to the community as a whole. The award was first presented by Disney founder Walt Disney to his brother Roy O. Disney in 1947.[1]

In 2005, Riley Thomson's Mousecar was auctioned for $5,358.[2] In 2013 Bernie Cobb's Mousecar was auctioned for $8,531.[3]

Origin of the word

"Mousecar" is a combination of the words "Oscar" and "Mouse" (as in Mickey Mouse).[1]

List of recipients

During the studio's 50th anniversary in 1973 special Mousecars were given to every employee who had worked at the original Disney Studio on Hyperion Street (1929-1939) in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles[4], designating them members of the exclusive Hyperion Club.[5]

gollark: Having options is probably a good thing, but Librem seems more focused on a full FOSSy ecosystem for communication and whatnot rather than just hardware like PinePhone.
gollark: Is there a plan for a transparent back cover? It might be cool to be able to see the insides.
gollark: The mobile reddit site seems to crash and break randomly for me. I have got to find an alternative some time.
gollark: New reddit is HERESY.
