Mickey Mouse is one of the main iconic characters with a masculine falsetto voice of The Walt Disney Company. He is also the leader of the Sensational Six. He is the boyfriend of Minnie Mouse and the best friend of Donald Duck and Goofy Goof. He is the most famous character of all the Disney characters and also the mascot of The Walt Disney Company.
Mickey was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studios in 1928. An anthropomorphic mouse who typically wears red short overalls (shoulder straps sometimes included), large yellow shoes and white gloves, he has become one of the most recognizable cartoon characters in the world.
History
Mickey was first seen in a single test tube screening, called Plane Crazy. It's a common misconception that he officially debuted in the short film Steamboat Willie (1928), one of the first sound cartoons, but the character actually has the same name as the film. He went on to appear in over 130 films, including The Band Concert (1935), Brave Little Tailor (1938), and Fantasia (1940). Mickey primarily appeared in short films, but also occasionally in feature-length films. Ten of Mickey's cartoons were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, one of which, Lend a Paw, won the award in 1942. In 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Beginning in 1930, Mickey has also been featured extensively as a comic strip character. His self-titled newspaper strip, drawn primarily by Floyd Gottfredson, ran for 45 years. Mickey has also appeared in comic books and in television series such as The Mickey Mouse Club (1955–1996) and others. He also appears in other media such as video games as well as merchandising and is a meetable character at the Disney parks.
Mickey Through the Years
Personality
Mickey is a sweet, easy-going, carefree little mouse dude. Despite being carefree, however, he's often bothered by his best friend Donald Duck's temper, and his friend Goofy's clumsiness. He can be somewhat irresponsible and foolish at times, which annoys his girlfriend, Minnie Mouse.
