Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse was not Walt Disney’s first successful cartoon creation, but he is
certainly his most famous one. It was on a cross-country train trip from New York to
California in 1927 that Disney first drew the mouse with the big ears. Supposedly, he
Line took his inspiration from the tame field mice that used to scamper into his old studio in
5 Kansas City. No one is quite sure why he dressed the mouse in the now-familiar short
with two buttons and gave him the yellow shoes. But we do know that Disney had
intended to call him Mortimer until his wife Lilian intervened and christened him Mickey
Mouse.
Capitalizing on the interest in Charles Lindbergh, Disney planned Mickey’s debut
in the short cartoon Plane Crazy, with Minnie as a co-star. In the third short cartoon,
10 Steamboat Willie, Mickey was whistling and singing through the miracle of the modern
 soundtrack. By the 1930’s Mickey’s image had circled the globe. He was a superstar at
the height of his career.
Although he has received a few minor changes throughout his lifetime, most
notably the addition of white gloves and the alterations to achieve the rounder forms of a
15 more childish body, he has remained true to his nature since those first cartoons. Mickey
is appealing because he is nice. He may get into trouble, but he takes it on the chin with a
grin. He is both good-natured and resourceful. Perhaps that was Disney’s own image of
himself. Why else would be have insisted on doing Mickey’s voice in all the cartoon for
twenty years? When interviewed, he would say, “There is a lot of the mouse in me.” And
20 that mouse has remained one of the most pervasive images in American popular culture.
