Shine believes, "Mickey Mouse is one of the most powerful images of the 20th Century. Over the years, the popularity of Mickey grew and Shine has stayed true to the original look and style of Mickey in the '30s when he had a tail and pie eyes. As he put it, "It's better when this kind of Mickey magic and joy is shared." When ABC7's George Pennacchio asked Shine, "How many Mickey items do you think you've collected?" Shine had no idea, but he did share a desire to one day share all of his collectibles in some for or fashion. Great inside or outside, this cool Clubhouse features big Minnie ears on top of the shingled roof and colorful character decals allover. The 'Mickeyologist' home in Los Angeles could be called the 'Mouse House.' It's filled with games, watched, toys, dolls, even an original Walt Disney business card. Soon after Shine found and bought another watch, and since that day forward he became a diehard, insatiable Mickey Mouse collector, specifically Mickeys only from the 1930s. Minnie Mouse has taken up residence in Mickeys Toontown Fair, tucked away between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom. The theater is beautifully decorated in a turn-of-the-Twentieth-Century theme with posters proclaiming Mickey Mouse as the star of the magic show.
He first fell in love with the mouse when he bought a 1932 Mickey watch, but sold it for a small amount to a thrift shop, but quickly regretted it. Mickey Mouse can be found in the Town Square Theater located just inside the Magic Kingdom Park entrance on Main Street, U.S.A. And perhaps nobody knows this better than Bernie Shine, or as many people call him, "Mickeyologist." Shine has been collecting vintage Mickey artifacts and one-of-kind treasures since 1969. Wherever his image appears, smiles follow.
Mickey Mouse is undeniably the world's most popular mouse.
