Michael Theodore "Mickey" Mouse is a cartoon character created by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney who is the global icon of the Walt Disney company and its most recognizable original character. Mickey's silhouette - a larger circle adorned by two smaller ones - is as recognizable as the character itself and is seen as an insignia for the character. He is often seen with Minnie Mouse, his wife since 1933, his dog Pluto and/or his best friends Goofy and Donald. He is voiced by Wayne Allwine.

History[]

Background[]

Mickey Mouse was born November 18th, 1928. He was creation and friend of Walt Disney, and the younger half-brother to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Walt's inspiration behind creating Mickey, was high voiced Los Angeles shop-owner Mortimer McKenzie who Walt met during his time living on Buena Vista Street in the 1920s.

While supposedly originating from the Midwest, Mickey chose to move to Toontown in Los Angeles. On September 25th of 1935, Toontown's mayor Ani Mation gave Mickey a certificate of merit in his ice skating abilities. On the July 25th of 1936, Ani Mation gave Mickey a certificate of merit for his alpine climbing skills.[1]

Around 1955, Mickey became the first member of the Mickey Mouse Club.[2]

On the October 3rd of 1982, Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley deemed October 3rd as, "Mouseketeer Day".[3]
