"Hot dog!"
"I only hope that we don’t lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse." - Walt Disney referring to how Mickey Mouse is the start and reason of why the great Disney characters exist today
Mickey Mouse is an animated anthropomorphic mouse created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1928. Mickey is, by far, the Walt Disney Company's biggest cartoon star and serves as the company's mascot. Estimated as standing 2' 3" (69 centimeters) and weighing 23 pounds (10 kilograms), Mickey is easily identified by his round ears, red shorts, white gloves and cartoonishly large yellow shoesx

Bad Qualities[]
- He can be a little too caring sometimes.
- He has a habit of forgetting special occasions related to his relationship with Minnie.

Trivia[]
- Mortimer Mouse was the name that Walt picked for him when he was created. However, his wife Lillian thought it sounded too pompous and suggested the mouse be called "Mickey" instead. Eventually, another mouse named Mortimer Mouse, was also created by Walt, and he would be Mickey’s rival in the Disney media.
