Mickey Mouse Bio

About Mickey

Mickey Mouse (whom Walt Disney originally intended to name Mortimer) made his debut on November 18th 1928 in "Steamboat Willie", and went on to star in over 120 cartoons and many movies, including "Fantasia", "Fun and Fancy Free" and "The Prince and the Pauper".

He is the official Walt Disney mascot, featuring in several attractions at the Disney theme parks. In 1978, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (a first for a cartoon character). Minnie would follow in 2018.

Walt Disney was immensely proud of his creation. He provided the voice for Mickey himself until 1944. During the premiere of "Walt Disney's Disneyland" in 1954, he said: "I only hope we never lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse".

But he goes by many different names.

Here are some of Mickey's names in different parts of the world:
