Mickey Mouse is synonymous with Walt Disney World. He is one of the most well known characters across the world.
Mickey was invented in 1928 by Walt Disney himself. We were introduced to him in Steamboat Willie, and he has been on our screens and in our hearts ever since!
Mickey Mouse is a good friend to Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto, and the rest of the gang. He loves Minnie Mouse and he seems to always be looking on the bright side.
Mickey has been around for decades! Without seeing a picture, we know he has red shorts with big buttons and white gloves. He is an emblem of happiness to those of us who grew up with him.
Mickey has some great quotes from his shows and movies. There is plenty said about him, too. Let’s take a look!

11. “When I was poor, living in a garage in Kansas, I began to draw the mice that scampered over my desk. This is how Mickey Mouse was born”
