Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse is a cartoon character who has become an icon for the Walt Disney Company. Mickey Mouse was created in 1928 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. He was voiced by Walt Disney from 1928-1946 theatrically and again from 1955-1959 for the original ABC TV The Mickey Mouse Club television series. The Walt Disney Company celebrates his birth as November 18 1928 upon the release of Steamboat Willie although Mickey had already appeared six months earlier in unfinished test screening of Plane Crazy (Steamboat Willie being the first Mickey Mouse Cartoon to be released). The anthropomorphic mouse has envolved from being simply a character in animated cartoons and comic strips to become one of the most reconizable symbols in the world. Mickey is currently the main character in the Disney Channel's Disney Junior series Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Mickey is the leader of The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with help from Minnie Mouse Donald Duck and other friendly friends of his.

In late 2009 The Walt Disney Company announced that they will begin to re-brand the Mickey Mouse character by putting a less emphasis on his pleasent cheerful side and reintroducing more mischevious and adventures side of his personality starting with the newly released Epic Mickey.
