Do You Know the Dormouse?

This Friday December 17th fans will be able to purchase The Mad Hatter Vinylmation 9" online at the DisneyStore.com.
We all know the Mad Hatter, but this post will focus on the less talked about 3" that accompanies Hatter, the Dormouse from Alice in Wonderland.

Did you know, the Dormouse in Disney's 1951 animated classic Alice in Wonderland shared his voice with a far more famous Mouse? Jimmy MacDonald, the voice of Mickey Mouse from 1947 to 1977, also voiced the Dormouse. Jimmy MacDonald was passed the job of voicing Mickey Mouse from none other than Walt Disney himself. MacDonald was also a legendary Disney sound effects artist. The Dormouse that was depicted in Alice in Wonderland also made appearance in a few other Disney animated productions including the Bonkers Afternoon Cartoon and Mickey's Magical Christmas.

Be sure to log on early to DisneyStore.com this Friday to get your hands on this limited edition of 1,200 Vinylmation set. It will retail for $74.95 and was designed by Maria Clapsis.
