As we do every year on this day, we now present you with the December 5 Birthday/Phobia News Report:

Birthday: Today is the birthday of one of the most famous names in the history of – well, just about anything, really – but mostly in the history of film, and especially animated film, Mr. Walt Disney. He is known for his role in the creation of some of the most memorable characters in the history of animation, including the world-wide animated mega-superstar, Mickey Mouse.

Phobia: According to a 2005 story in the New York Times, Walt Disney was a victim of musophobia. In other words – the man most famous for Mickey Mouse was deathly afraid of mice.

This has been your 2011 December 5 Birthday/Phobia News Report.
