Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse started their careers on November 18,1928 in a film called “Steamboat Willie”.

In 1923, Walt Disney joined his brother, Roy Disney, as a partner in a new business. Roy managed the financial side of the business and Walt provided the creative talent. The Disney Brothers Studio was launched with $3,000 borrowed from an uncle and their parents.
On a train ride to Los Angeles from New York City Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse. Walt wanted to name the mouse character “Mortimer”, but his wife, Lilly, didn’t like that name and suggested “Mickey Mouse”.
After their film debut in 1928, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse became instant hits. In fact, Mickey Mouse was so popular that over a million children joined the original Mickey Mouse Club between 1929 and 1932. The “Mickey Mouse Club” later became a popular children’s television series that aired on ABC from 1955 to 1959. Today, Mickey Mouse is the official greeter at Disneyland and Disney World and his friends Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto continue to entertain us.
We are always looking for new Mickey Mouse family members to add to our collection. If you see a Mickey Mouse character in a store or on another website that we do not carry, let us know and we will see about adding it.
