Years ago, when a young guy sketched a mouse and named him Mickey Mouse, even he had no idea that he was setting the foundation for what would become the Walt Disney empire. He went on to create other characters and each one went on to become a hit in various media. First there were television cartoon series, then animated movies, story books and then contemporary adaptations of the cartoons and story books. The characters became larger than life with the establishment of Walt Disney resorts in various locations worldwide. No wonder then people want a tangible memento of their favorite characters. Lifesize cardboard cutouts are one form of these.
