Happy Birthday Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse was the creative vehicle that took the Walt Disney Company to new exciting heights. In 1928 Steamboat willie was the first Mickey Mouse cartoon featuring synchronized sound. People wanted Mickey so the Walt gave them Mickey in all kinds of hilarious little cartoons. Walt had a pet mouse that inspired this character and Mickey's original name was supposed to be Mortimer mouse but Lilly Walt's wife suggested Mickey might be a more fitting name.
