In 1928, Walt Disney had just lost the rights to his biggest cartoon star, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, to Charles Mintz at Universal Studios and needed a replacement. Ub Iwerks, one of three animatorsnote the other two being Les Clark (who would become the first of Disney's Nine Old Men) and Johnny Cannon who had stuck with Walt after the Oswald fiasco, designed a mouse inspired by a pet mouse Walt had back in his farm life. Walt originally intended to name the new character Mortimer Mouse (which would later go on to be the name of the sleazy Casanova Wannabe who would always unsuccessfully pine for Minnie's affection), but his wife, Lillian Bounds, suggested he go with the cuter-sounding name of Mickey.The most recognizable fictional character of all time was then born, and the rest is history.Getting Mickey off the ground wasn't an easy task, though. Two cartoons, Plane Crazy and The Gallopin' Gaucho, were made and given limited release, but they failed to impress audiences or find a distributor. For the third film, Steamboat Willie, they added a synchronized soundtrack. The addition of sound to the series paid off and made Mickey one of the most prominent cartoon stars of the time.The early Mickey Mouse cartoons are some of the most prominent examples of Mickey Mousing (which he is the Trope Namer of) ever done in a cartoon—it was done to the point where many, many cartoons were built solely around the novelty of the characters being able to tap or move to the beat of the soundtrack.In his earliest shorts, Mickey was a roguish Anti-Hero, who had no problem drinking beer, smoking and stealing kisses from Minnie. Over the years, he evolved into a more boyish and cheerful personality, an underdog with a heart of gold. In 1935, Mickey's cartoons were upgraded to color, but his days as a headlining star in his own shorts were beginning to end—Pluto the Pup and newcomers Donald Duck and Goofy were soon dominating several of his shorts.In 1940, Disney tried to give Mickey a comeback via the Sorcerer's Apprentice segment of Fantasia. Unfortunately, the film bombed and thus negated this comeback. During this time, Mickey was slightly redesigned to have more expressive eyes than before.As time went by, Mickey's shorts became less and less frequent in number, overshadowed by his contemporaries and reduced to a bit player. While another attempt at a comeback was done via the Mickey and the Beanstalk segment of Fun and Fancy Free, it was once again a failure. In 1953, Disney finally retired Mickey, with the last of his original theatrical cartoons being The Simple Things.For the next several decades, Mickey would continue to appear in television reruns, The Mickey Mouse Club, merchandise and the Disney Theme Parks in addition to still being the face of the company.It wasn't until 1983 that he would make his cartoon comeback in the featurette Mickey's Christmas Carol. While that film was billed as Mickey's comeback, he was still reduced to a minor role as the character of Bob Crachitt, with Scrooge McDuck headlining the cartoon instead.Mickey would cameo with Bugs Bunny in the hit 1988 feature film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.In 1990, Disney gave him another featurette, The Prince and the Pauper, where Mickey received a central role in a cartoon for the first time in decades.1995 proceeded to give us a Darker and Edgier update of the character, via the theatrical cartoon Runaway Brain, obviously borrowing influence from the more adventurous Mickey of the Floyd Gottfredson comics. Unfortunately, it caused a big stir among parents, causing the short to fall into company Discontinuity and Mickey's theatrical cartoon career was once again put on ice.In 1999, Disney blessed Mickey with a TV revival called Mickey Mouse Works, later retooled into House of Mouse in 2001. Essentially lower-budget versions of the original cartoons, both programs went on to be big hits.In 2004, Mickey received a direct-to-video film along with Donald and Goofy called Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers.In 2006, Mickey received a preschool show called Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It quickly became one of his most popular and successful TV shows ever. Even after it ended in 2016, it still remains the definitive version of Mickey and his friends for a whole generation. The success of Clubhouse would pave the way for more preschool shows starring Mickey and his friends, such as 2017's Mickey and the Roadster Racers (later renamed Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures) and 2021's Mickey Mouse Funhouse.In 2010, Disney once again attempted a Darker and Edgier Mickey Mouse story, but this time with a video game—headlined by Warren Spector, creator of Deus Ex and System Shock and then-closet Disney fanboy. The video game, Epic Mickey, brought the mouse back to his roots, reuniting many of the classic Disney characters, including Disney's original cartoon star and Mickey's long-lost half-brother, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Critical reception was hit or miss, but the game was a hit, selling over a million copies on release. A sequel was made in 2012 called Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, but it didn't sell very well, causing Disney to close down Junction Point Studios so they could detour their gaming production elsewhere, ending the franchise.The Epic Mickey series wasn't Mickey's only major contribution to the video game medium. In 1990, Disney licensed Castle of Illusion, developed by Sega for the Sega Genesis and Sega Master System. It was a 2D side-scrolling platform game with Mickey as the main character. The game became a major hit and is considered to this day as an all-time classic which even had a sequel: World of Illusion, released in 1992. He also plays a prominent role in the popular Kingdom Hearts series from Square Enix, in which he displays a Badass Adorable personality and Yoda-like combat skills.In 2013, Disney hired Paul Rudish to produce a series of new Mickey Mouse animated shorts for Disney Channel, Disney.com, and Disney's official YouTube channels. The first season began airing on Disney Channel on June 28th of that year, starting with "No Service". The show ran for a total of five seasons and also received two half-hour specials. Every short made can be seen online here and here. The show was later retooled as The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse for Disney's streaming platform, Disney+, in 2020.Also in 2013, Mickey starred in a new theatrical short called Get a Horse!, a throwback to Mickey's early days as a scrappy barnyard character.As of 2024, due to Steamboat Willie and the silent versions of Plane Crazynote the sound version was released in 1929, so that version is still copyrighted untill 2025 and The Gallopin' Gauchonote the sound version, although released on December 30, 1928, had its copyright registered in 1929, so that version is still copyrighted until 2025 entering Public Domain in the United States, the early version of Mickey featured in those shorts is now a Public Domain Character, along with their iterations of Minnie and Pete. Note that this only applies to those versions; Mickey designs resembling his modern appearance (most notably his small eyes, his pale pinkish face and his physical "roundness" in his later appearances) are still off-limits to anyone but The Walt Disney Company. In addition, Mickey's trademark still applies; one cannot use 1928's Mickey in a misleading fashion to make it seem like a product was approved by or associated with Disney.We can still hope that Mickey will go on and on into the future, to be loved by old and new generations.Despite some people thinking differently, he and Minnie are, by word of their creator, actually happily married outside of their acting careers and just play whatever roles they need to play onscreen at the time. However, Walt did not confirm whether or not the two mice have any children.His current official voice actor since 2009 is illustrator Bret Iwan in all productions except for the Mickey Mouse shorts, Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse, and Once Upon a Studio where he is instead voiced by actor Chris Diamantopoulos. Walt Disney himself was the original voice of Mickey, and Diamantopoulos's vocal portrayal is a throwback to Disney's portrayal. The most famous, and memorable, Mickey voice, however, has got to be the late Wayne Allwine, who voiced the iconic mouse from the mid-1970s until his death in 2009. | |

The Artifact | |
| Mickey Mouse / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: Some animators noted that as time went by and the characters got more and more realistic, Mickey's old-school abstract design, as well as his perspective-defying ears got more and more outdated and out of place. A full-on redesign was out of the question due to familiarity, so Disney briefly tinkered with Mickey's design in the early 40s, making his design more loose and organic, as well has having his ears work in perspective—this can be seen most prominently in the short "The Little Whirlwind". For some reason, they quickly went back to the original design afterwards. However, the ears not matching up with perspective was Handwaved as early as 1929, in "The Karnival Kid": Those aren't really Mickey's ears—it's a loose fitting hat. | |

Gratuitous Spanish: After Mickey gets a bit too playful with Minnie in The Cactus Kid (1930), Minnie berates him in Spanish before angrily throwing objects at him. This short was the debut of Marcelite Garner as the voice of Minnie, and she got the job for her ability to speak Spanish as well as her singing talents. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong | |
| Mickey Mouse / int_19df659c | comment |
Mickey in the Walt-era cartoons was prone to almost Bugs Bunny-levels of retribution (such as his magical pranks on Donald in Magician Mickey), and had quite a low tolerance for things not going his way, notably pulling a gun on Donald in Symphony Hour when the Duck tried to ditch a Concert Gone Horribly Wrong. | |

Public Domain Animation | |
| Mickey Mouse / int_255608b2 | comment |
Public Domain Animation: "The Mad Doctor" is one of the very few Disney shorts to slip into the Public Domain, although its extremely rare for it to appear in compilations (the only known time is in "Attack of the 30s Characters" from Thunderbean) due to legal fears over the usage of a copyrighted character like Mickey. As of 2024, "Steamboat Willie" and the silent versions of "Plane Crazy" and "The Gallopin' Gaucho" copyrights have expired. note the audio still copyrighted until 2025, but the story and visuals are currently public domain. Another is 1930's "Minnie's Yoo Hoo," although it's little more than a singalong of the title song intended for Mickey Mouse Clubs (the 1930s theater version, not the later TV series). | |

Inexplicably Tailless: They seem to have a pretty consistent rule for when Mickey will be shown with a tail or not. When shown in the classic outfit, he'll have a tail, when in a full outfit, the tail will be missing. Kingdom Hearts is a notable exception to the fully clothed = tailless rule. | |

| Mickey Mouse / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: Later on Donald Duck, Goofy and even Pluto became far more popular, being the characters who had an easier time adapting to the Screwball Squirrel and Iron Butt Monkey archetypes becoming more popular in animation in the 40s. Though Mickey remains the symbol of Disney. Modern productions often try to reverse this. | |

Vocal Dissonance | |

Vocal Dissonance: When Mickey first spoke in The Karnival Kid and Mickey's Follies, he had a more typical deep adult male voice, compared to the falsetto voice he'd gain Mickey's Choo-Choo onwards. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| Mickey Mouse / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: Currently: Either the Everyman and the cartoon character that everybody knows and loves, or the Keyblade/Paintbrush-wielding Badass that Kingdom Hearts/Epic Mickey fans know and love. 1928: The guy who forced Minnie to kiss him was also a bit of a jerk and didn't mind harming his enemies. Mickey in the Walt-era cartoons was prone to almost Bugs Bunny-levels of retribution (such as his magical pranks on Donald in Magician Mickey), and had quite a low tolerance for things not going his way, notably pulling a gun on Donald in Symphony Hour when the Duck tried to ditch a Concert Gone Horribly Wrong. Epic Mickey returns to his original characterization, sort of. Mickey's pranks set in motion the dangerous events of the game and he has the option of either helping the inhabitants of the world he inadvertently endangered (becoming The Hero and looking more heroic) or looking out for himself and just trying to get back to his world (becoming The Scrapper and looking more sinister). Essentially, the player has the option of making Mickey like his modern self or his original self. Mickey's change in personality over the years could be seen as him growing up as a person. | |

Tough Beetles: In "Mickey's Garden", when Mickey accidentally sprays himself with pesticide, he starts hallucinating plants and insects growing to massive size. During his trip, he sees a giant beetle drinking his bug poison and growing stronger from it. As it roars with a Primal Chest-Pound, it then rushes at Mickey to snap him with its mandibles. | |

Clumsy Copyright Censorship | |
| Mickey Mouse / int_681bcd81 | comment |
Clumsy Copyright Censorship: On "The Spirit of Mickey" VHS tape, the print of "Mickey's Surprise Party" is edited to remove the Product Placement of Nabisco cookies in the end by digitally editing a background and having Russi Taylor redubbing some of Minnie Mouse's lines. The former change is acceptable, but Russi's new lines painfully clash with the sound quality of the rest of the cartoon. At any rate, the cartoon was later presented unedited on the first Walt Disney Treasures Mickey Mouse set. | |

Driven to Suicide | |

Driven to Suicide: An early storyline in the comic strip dealt with Mickey becoming despondent when Minnie fell for a city slicker and deciding to end it all. After a week of unsuccessful suicide attempts (not to mention half-hearted - in one strip, he thought of drowning himself but decided not to because the water was too cold), Mickey was encouraged to go on, even though he hadn't yet won Minnie back. | |

The Everyman | |
| Mickey Mouse / int_6de438eb | comment |
The Everyman: In his earliest shorts, he was quite naughty, and could sometimes be a womanizer or a sadist to animals. Later, his nicer and more whimsical qualities were quickly played up to where he became a character for the audience to project themselves onto. Some later entries have tried to bring back his scrappier qualities, but they never go as far as portraying him as he was in shorts like Plane Crazy. | |

Adaptation Personality Change | |
| Mickey Mouse / int_6fbe85e6 | comment |
Adaptation Personality Change: Mickey may be an odd variation in that it was his adaptation interpretations that avoided such a change. While the Mickey of Classic Disney Shorts was slowly tamed into The Everyman, the comics continued to refer to his earlier more adventurous and abrasive persona for a long period of time. Epic Mickey even plays with this, allowing you to choose between evolving Mickey into either his former or latter persona. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| Mickey Mouse / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: In all but one of his appearances in the Kingdom Hearts series, Mickey Mouse has apparently taken several. He is not only an amazingly skilled wielder of the Keyblade, but is a beloved king, and a Badass Longcoat in his first real appearance. And that's not counting the fact that his training consisted of his time as the Sorcerer's Apprentice and a musketeer, as revealed in Dream Drop Distance. He's also like this in Epic Mickey, but as a pragmatic fighter utilizing a magical brush. He was also very much like this in the 1930s-1950s comic strip serials later reprinted as Walt Disney's Comics and Stories, where he was an heroic action-adventure detective with Goofy as a not-too-dumb sidekick. The huge, evil cat Pete (then called Black Pete, or Pegleg Pete if it was a nautical tale) was his constant adversary. Kids could pick up some cool historical and geographical facts in these stories. In the Mickey Mouse Comic Universe in general, Mickey would often been portrayed as The Ace in high contrast to his more everyman-based personality in the classic cartoons: Depending on the Writer he's mostly either portrayed as a hyper-competent Amateur Sleuth or a straight Action Hero going on globe-tropping adventures - or even adventures in space or other time periods - in the comics. | |

Mr. Vice Guy | |
| Mickey Mouse / int_79b5990c | comment |
Mr. Vice Guy: In his earliest cartoons, Mickey smoked, drank beer, chewed tobacco, openly ogled Minnie, and yet was still the hero. In conjunction with his eventual evolution into a Nice Guy (likely spurred by the popularity of his shorts with children), the credo of Mickey Mouse Clubs in the 1930s proclaimed that "Mickey Mice do not smoke, swear, cheat, or lie." Of course, Walt himself did plenty of at least the former two. | |

Signature Laugh: A quick, good-natured "Ha-ha!", which is largely Newer Than They Think. While Mickey's always had a shy giggle, the distinct "Ha-ha!" that modern audiences recognize as Mickey's laugh originates from Wayne Allwine's tenure as the Mouse, and Bret Iwan's Mickey continues the tradition because it's become inseparable from Mickey's modern identity. | |

Your Size May Vary: From his first appearance, Mickey and any other mice are usually conveyed as the size of small humans (it often takes an Incredible Shrinking Man plot to bring them down to actual mouse height).

During his Audience-Alienating Era they ditched the simple, iconic look to put him in full outfits, making him look like your bland neighbor. Of course, this isn't to say that a fully clothed Mickey is strictly indicative of his audience alienating era. Modern appearances of Mickey tend to go back and forth depending on what's needed, using the classic shorts as a default, but if Mickey needs an alternate look more suited to a specific plot or setting, it will be a full outfit, such as his suit in House of Mouse, or his adventuring clothes in Kingdom Hearts. This is played with in the Mickey Mouse (2013) episode, "No Service", where Mickey is forced to surrender his pants and shoes to Donald so the latter can comply with the Dress Code at Goofy's Snack Shack. | |

Animated Adaptation | |
| Mickey Mouse / int_a68421bb | comment |
Animated Adaptation: A few of the Mickey Mouse cartoons are based on pre-existing stories, including: Giantland and the Mickey and the Beanstalk segment of Fun and Fancy Free is loosely inspired by the traditional English tale of Jack and the Beanstalk (most likely the famous Joseph Jacobs retelling). Gulliver Mickey is a loose adaptation of the Lilliput section of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels. Brave Little Tailor is an adaptation of the Brothers Grimm story The Brave Little Tailor. The Sorcerer's Apprentice segment of Fantasia (later reprised in Fantasia 2000) is set to Paul Dukas' tone poem of the same name (which in turn was based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's 1797 poem of the same name). Mickey's Christmas Carol is a direct adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic story A Christmas Carol. The Prince and the Pauper is a loose adaptation of Mark Twain's story The Prince and the Pauper. Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers is an adaptation of the story The Three Musketeers. | |

Negative Continuity: The cartoons, like every other animated cartoon series of the time, have no continuity between shorts. Mickey can show up in any place or time depending on the stories needs, be it in Medieval Europe in "Ye Olden Days", "Brave Little Tailor" and The Prince and the Pauper, the pioneer expansion to the west in "Pioneer Days", working as an apprentice to a sorcerer in Fantasia, and so on. | |

Chastity Couple | |
| Mickey Mouse / int_c57293d6 | comment |
Chastity Couple: By word of Walt, Mickey and Minnie are happily married outside of their acting career, but either do not seem have a sex life, are holding off on lovemaking (or at least Mickey is), or have already made love and bore children but choose to keep it hush-hush in order to protect their family. The short Mickey's Nightmare tries to explore this but uses storks (which are symbolic of womanly fertility) as well as watering a flower garden to symbolize sex. The current powers-that-be appear to have ignored this completely, as the Paul Rudish short “Third Wheel" ends with the strong implication that they had sex, and inside Goofy's stomach, no less! Fans all over the Internet have created Fan Fiction and Fan Art depicting Mickey and Minnie with children of their own, from one mouseling to many of them (with them oftentimes living in either a typical middle-class home or a huge, luxurious mansion). | |

Standardized Leader | |
| Mickey Mouse / int_c9f5efdb | comment |
Standardized Leader: In many of his pairings with Jerkass Donald and The Ditz Goofy, Mickey is the most competent, reliable, or just the least wacky of the trio. So, while often with plenty of personality of his own, his companions are the ones adding flavor to the team whilst Mickey is the one making sure stuff gets done. Depending on the Writer however, he is sometimes distinguished as an eccentric Pollyanna or an Extreme Doormat. | |

Killer Gorilla: In "The Gorilla Mystery", a monstrous gorilla breaks out of a local zoo and kidnaps Minnie Mouse, forcing Mickey to chase it down into a derelict house and rescue Minnie. In "The Pet Shop", the main antagonist of the short is Beppo, a movie-loving gorilla who is fascinated with King Kong (1933). To imitate his idol, he breaks out of his cage, kidnaps Minnie, and climbs up a stack of pet food boxes as a flock of birds that Mickey released fly around him like airplanes. | |

Product Placement | |
| Mickey Mouse / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: 1939's "Mickey's Surprise Party" in its original version is a thinly veiled commercial for cookie and snack manufacturer Nabisco. When a mishap ruins the cookies Minnie was baking for Mickey's birthday, Mickey salvages the party by buying large quantities of Nabisco cookies. For later home video releases of the short, the Nabisco references were edited out and some of Minnie's accompanying dialogue was redubbed by Russi Taylor. See also Clumsy Copyright Censorship. | |

Innocently Insensitive: In the 1939 short "Mickey's Surprise Party", Minnie is playing on a piano to entertain Mickey as they're waiting for Minnie's cookies to finish baking. However, Mickey and later Minnie smell something burning until she quickly realizes that her cookies are burning. Minnie is later seen crying on her couch over her cookies. Mickey tries to lighten the mood by saying "My mother used to burn them all the time" and chuckles to himself. However, it only causes Minnie to cry harder. | |
