Character biography Director Chuck Jones created Sniffles as a potential new star for the studio in 1939. The character was designed by Disney veteran Charles Thorson, an old hand at designing cute characters for Disney's ''Silly Symphonies''. Thorson's design was highly derivative of a character he had designed for Disney, Abner Countrymouse from the Oscar-winning short ''The Country Cousin'' (1936).

The character wears a blue sailor cap, a red shirt, blue pants, a yellow sca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
