Mickey Mouse is a cartoon character and the mascot for The Walt Disney Company. Created in 1928 by Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse has evolved from a simple animated cartoon character to one of the most recognizable symbols in the world. Mickey Mouse was originally created to replace Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, which was an earlier cartoon developed by Disney. Disney originally named the character Mortimer Mouse, but was persuaded by his wife, Lillian Disney, to change it to Mickey Mouse. After several attempts to find a voice for Mickey Mouse, Disney decided to do it himself.
Mickey Mouse made his debut in the cartoon Plane Crazy on May 15, 1928. Soon after, on November 18, 1928, Mickey Mouse appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. On March 14, 1929, Mickey Mouse appeared in his first of twelve shorts, The Barn Dance. Over the years, Mickey Mouse has appeared in numerous cartoon and animated films and has been depicted in a variety of ways. Mickey Mouse first appeared wearing white gloves on March 28, 1929 in the short The Opry House, which he still wears today. In 1930, Disney began producing Mickey Mouse Clubs, which appeared in numerous movie theaters across the United States. In addition, Mickey Mouse has appeared many musical performances and comic strips.
On Mickey Mouse’s 50th anniversary, November 18, 1978, he became the first cartoon character to receive a start on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today, Mickey Mouse appears in video games, toys, games, and books, among many other things. Mickey Mouse has definitely become one of the most beloved cartoon character of all time.
