Disney Characters
Yes, all started with a mouse. But since the creation of Mickey Mouse in 1928,
hundreds of characters have been born from the imagination of Disney
Studios. Some have known worldwide fame and success. Others appeared only
a few times but have nevertheless contributed to the originality, humor and
the freshness of Walt Disney productions.
Mickey Mouse
Mickey Mouse was created in 1928 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks and voiced
by Walt Disney. He first appeared in Steamboat Willie. He evolved from being
simply a character in animated cartoons and comic strips to become one of
the most recognizable symbols in the world. His popularity is mainly due to his
angelic nature.
Donald Duck
Goofy
Pluto
Pluto, also called Pluto the Pup, is a cartoon dog created in 1930. He most
frequently appeared as Mickey Mouse's pet dog. He also had an independent
starring role in 48 Disney shorts in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. Pluto is
unusual for a Disney character in that he is not anthropomorphized beyond
showing an unusually broad range of facial expressions or use of his front
paws at key points; he is actually represented as a normal dog (unlike Goofy
who is an anthropomorphic dog)
