Mickey Mouse is a cartoon character and the brand’s mascot developed by The Walt Disney Company in 1928. Mickey is an anthropomorphic mouse that wears red shorts, huge yellow shoes, and white gloves. He is one of the most well-known fictional characters in the world.

Mickey was created to replace a previous Disney character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and made his public debut in the short film Steamboat Willie (1928), which was one of the first sound cartoons. He went on to star in more than 130 films, including The Band Concert (1935), Brave Little Tailor (1938), and Fantasia (1939). (1940). Mickey was mostly seen in short films, but he did appear in feature films on occasion. The Academy Prize for Best Animated Short Film was nominated for ten of Mickey’s cartoons, one of which, Lend a Paw, won the award in 1942. Mickey was the first cartoon character to be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1978.

Mickey has been a popular character in comic strips and novels since 1930. Floyd Gottfredson created the Mickey Mouse comic strip, which lasted for 45 years. Mickey has also appeared in Mickey Mouse, Disney Italy’s Topolino, and MM – Mickey Mouse Mystery Magazine, as well as Wizards of Mickey comic novels. Mickey may also be seen in TV shows like The Mickey Mouse Club (1955–1996) and others. He is a meetable character at Disney parks and appears in various media, including video games and merchandising.

Mickey is frequently seen with his fiancée Minnie Mouse, his pet dog Pluto, his buddies Donald Duck and Goofy, as well as his enemy Pete. Mickey was marketed as a good man throughout time, typically viewed as an honest and bodacious hero, despite his beginnings as a mischievous, charming rogue. Beginning with the video game Epic Mickey in 2009, Disney began to revamp the character by putting less focus on his pleasant, well-intentioned image and reintroducing the more adventurous and obstinate parts of his nature.

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, an earlier cartoon character developed by the Disney company but owned by Universal Pictures, was replaced by Mickey Mouse. Through his firm, Winkler Pictures, Charles Mintz acted as a middleman producer between Disney and Universal for the Oswald cartoon series. Disney severed all ties with Oswald.  Animator Ub Iwerks, apprentice artist Les Clark, and Wilfred Jackson were among the handful who stayed at the Disney studio. Walt was brainstorming ideas for a new cartoon character on his train journey home from New York.
