A rare original Mickey Mouse sketch by Walt Disney during a visit to England 89 years ago has emerged for sale for £8,000 ($10,000).<br />
<br />
The film pioneer visited England during a six week 'grand tour' of Europe with his brother Roy and their wives in 1935.<br />
<br />
He was approached by an autograph hunter in Oxford and produced the drawing of his famous character with a fountain pen.<br />
<br />
Underneath it he wrote 'Walt Disney, Oxford, Eng., June 16, 35."
