She was first seen in a test screening for the cartoon short "Plane Crazy" on May 15th 1928 and later made her public debut alongside Mickey Mouse in the animated short film "Steamboat Willie" on November 18th 1928. Both characters were voiced by Walt Disney himself.
In "Mickey's Follies" in 1929, she was officially introduced as Mickey's "sweetie".
