Partners is a 1993 copper statue by Blaine Gibson depicting Walt Disney holding the hand of the most popular character he created, Mickey Mouse. The statue is 6 feet 5 inches (196 cm), 7 inches (18 cm) taller than Disney himself. It is the central point of attention as guests enter some of the Disney parks. Gibson took a year to create the piece. He used a 1960 bust of Disney as his model for Disney's half. To sculpt Disney and Mickey's joined hands, he consulted the 1940 film Fantasia, where Mickey shook hands with conductor Leopold Stokowski.

  • Partners is a 1993 copper statue by Blaine Gibson depicting Walt Disney holding the hand of the most popular character he created, Mickey Mouse. The statue is 6 feet 5 inches (196 cm), 7 inches (18 cm) taller than Disney himself. It is the central point of attention as guests enter some of the Disney parks. Gibson took a year to create the piece. He used a 1960 bust of Disney as his model for Disney's half. To sculpt Disney and Mickey's joined hands, he consulted the 1940 film Fantasia, where Mickey shook hands with conductor Leopold Stokowski. There has been speculation regarding Disney's stance in the sculpture. Many believed his outstretched hand indicated he was showing Mickey what had come of his (Disney's) dream. Gibson said, “I chose to depict Walt as he was in 1954. I think that was when [he] was in his prime. It was tough trying to match the media image of Walt Disney, the one the public knows, to the real Walt, the one we knew. I think Walt is admiring the park and saying to Mickey, ‘Look what we’ve accomplished together,’ because truly they were very much a team through it all. ‘Look at all the happy people who have come to visit us today.’” As revealed in "A Virtual Tour of Walt Disney Imagineering: Part 2", Mickey was initially going to be portrayed holding an ice cream cone, but it was decided it would make him appear too juvenile. The plaque beneath the statues bear slightly different versions of words that Disney never actually uttered. His closest actual words to the inscriptions were, "I think what I want most of all is for Disneyland to be a happy place." Parts of sentences from an unrelated interview were added to this. (en)

  • Partners Statue é uma estátua de bronze criada em 1993 por Blaine Gibson representando Walt Disney segurando a mão de seu personagem mais popular, Mickey Mouse. A estátua mede 1,95 metros de altura, dezessete centímetros mais alta que o próprio Walt Disney. A estátua é o ponto central da atenção das pessoas quando elas passam por ela ao entrar em certos parques da Disney. Gibson levou um ano para esculpir a obra. Gibson usou um busto de Walt Disney criado em 1960 como modelo para a metade da escultura. Gibson, no entanto, teve que ser um pouco mais criativo ao esculpir as mãos unidas de Disney e Mickey. Ele usou o filme de 1940 Fantasia como uma referência e exemplo popular do rato, que apertou a mão do compositor do filme, Leopold Stokowski. Há especulações sobre a mão de Disney na escultura, que é levantada para frente. Muitos acreditam que seu braço está levantado como se estivesse mostrando a Mickey o que veio de seu sonho. Gibson disse: “Eu escolhi retratar Walt como ele era em 1954. Acho que foi quando Walt estava no auge. Foi difícil tentar combinar a imagem da mídia de Walt Disney, a que o público conhece, com o verdadeiro Walt, o que conhecíamos. Acho que Walt está admirando o parque e dizendo para Mickey: "Veja o que fizemos juntos", porque, na verdade, eles faziam parte de tudo. "Veja todas as pessoas felizes que vieram nos visitar hoje." Um esboço inicial da Partners Statue apresentava o Mickey segurando uma casquinha de sorvete na mão. (pt)
