Minnie Mouse - Waning Years

Waning Years

During the second half of the thirties, Minnie didn't appear as often in Mickey cartoons. This was mainly due to the growth in popularity of Mickey's new sidekicks, Goofy and Donald Duck, whose appearances in Mickey cartoons had more or less replaced Minnie's role. Minnie's appearances in Mickey cartoons thus became less numerous, but she did have a few major roles in some Pluto and Figaro cartoons during the 1940s. Minnie made a sort of comeback in the 1980s when she was re-introduced in Mickey's Christmas Carol and then got her own starring role in Totally Minnie.

Famous quotes containing the words waning and/or years:

    And let Reform her columns roll.
    With thunder peal, and lightening flash.
    We’ll preach deliverance to the soul.
    ‘Mid proud Oppression’s waning crash.
    Ignis, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Genius of Liberty, pp. 9-10 (November 1853)

    As the twentieth century ends, commerce and culture are coming closer together. The distinction between life and art has been eroded by fifty years of enhanced communications, ever-improving reproduction technologies and increasing wealth.
