Does Mickey Mouse have an Oscar?

Walt Disney has more Academy Awards than anyone else (26), but how about Mickey Mouse? Has he won an Oscar?

Ten of Mickey’s cartoons have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, and only one has received the Oscar.

Can you guess which one?

• Mickey’s Orphans (1931)
• Building a Building (1933)
• Brave Little Tailor (1938)
• The Pointer (1939)
• Lend a Paw (1941)
• Squatter’s Rights (1946)
• Mickey and the Seal (1948)
• Mickey’s Christmas Carol (1983)
• Runaway Brain (1995)
• Get a Horse! (2013)

And the Oscar went to … “Lend a Paw”!

The 1941 short film was the story of Mickey Mouse, Pluto and a rescued kitten. After saving the kitten and bringing it home to Mickey, Pluto becomes jealous of the kitten. Of course, Pluto ultimately learns that kindness towards animals will be rewarded in the end.

Now, in 1932, Walt Disney did receive a special Academy Award for the creation of Mickey Mouse.
