What was the name of the camera that Walt Disney and William Garity, an audio engineer, developed for filming Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?

Answer. The Multiplane Camera. The Multiplane Camera, developed by Walt Disney and William Garity, an audio engineer, was first used on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, was a groundbreaking technique that added depth and realism to animation. It allowed multiple layers of artwork to be filmed separately at different distances from the camera, creating the illusion of three-dimensional space in a 2D environment. The technique was initially tested on the 1937 Silly Symphony short The Old Mill, where it enhanced the sense of depth and movement. This innovation revolutionized animated filmmaking, contributing to the visual richness of Snow White and setting new standards in animation. There are 3 surviving multiplane cameras used by Disney, one is on display at the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco, CA, a second one is at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, CA and the third is on display at the Art of Animation exhibit in Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris, France.

What was the original name of Mickey Mouse?

Answer. Mortimer Mouse. "I'd fooled around a lot with little mice and they were always cute characters and they hadn't been overdone in the picture field. They'd been used but never featured. So, well, I decided it would be with a mouse because at the time I didn't have Mickey as more a less a normal-scale human being. I had him as a scaled mouse with over-scaled props. Well, that's how it came about. And then the name came. What would you call him? And the euphony there of 'Mickey Mouse.' I had him 'Mortimer' first and then my wife shook her head and then I tried 'Mickey' and she nodded the other way and that was it.” —Walt Disney, Interview with Tony Thomas for the radio show Voices from the Hollywood Past, January 1959.
