Happy Birthday, Mickey!
Mickey Mouse celebrated his 80th birthday yesterday – November 18. He is a comic animal cartoon character which became the icon of The Walt Disney Company. Mickey Mouse was created in 1928 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks and voiced by Walt Disney himself.
Mickey first appeared on the silver screen in 1928′s “Steamboat Willie”, where his profile and personality were a lot more rat-like than the lovable mouse of today.
In the following years, Mickey stayed busy, starring in feature films and on television, enjoying a cult following through the Mickey Mouse Club and overseeing the development of the Disney brand. He also had a long-running romance with Minnie.
Walt Disney created Mickey during a difficult time, when he was the head of a small, struggling studio.
The enduring success of the little mouse changed all that and made Walt Disney a household name.

he is not my favorite Disney character but since he’s the torch-bearer of Disney, ganahan pud ko ani niya.

Wow! Belated greetings na lang kay Mickey! I was 24 years old when I first saw Mickey and Minnie in HongKong Disneyland. December of 2006. It was cold and of course, first out of the country trip namo ni Winn hehehe
