Milton Mouse is a clone of Mickey in 1930 created by Paul Terry and Van Beuren. Created in their series Aesop Sound Fables
Origin:
Milton Mouse was used in Van Beuren Studios series Aesop Sound Fables he has two shorts circus capers and the office boy this was until Walt Disney Sued Van Beuren because of copyright, he's just like Mickey Mouse, so the Van Beuren Studios thought they could continue Aesop Sound Fables without Milton Mouse But in 1933 it was Cease Production for some odd reasons.
Circus Capers:
Milton was in the parade with his girlfriend (or wife) Rita Mouse soon after he saw Rita Mouse doing a trick with a horse then Milton Mouse goes in the tent and uses his arm as a ring so the leopards can go through and then he makes a small hole for the last one and the leopard loses his spots and Milton gives the leopards spots back and then later the circus ringmaster gets kicked by a Lion and Milton laughs at him then Milton goes to the cannon and the Circus Ringmaster got really angry and put powder in the cannon and Milton goes really high, he notices the crowd and Rita Mouse are laughing at him, when he goes down he notices Rita is cheating on him with the Circus Ringmaster. He got really sad and Heartbroken, he sings a song called "Laugh Clown Laugh" Rita later heard the song and tried to forgive Milton Mouse of what she did, but she is unsuccessful, as Milton rejects her by blowing a raspberry. At the end Milton looks at the camera then his head zooms in half way then winks then zooms in on his nose making the screen go black and the short ends. This scared a lot of kids.
