Mickey's 75th

Post by Prince Adam »

I want to be one of the first on this forum to officially wish Mickey Mouse a very happy 75th birthday.

People always say that Snow White is the one that started it all, but, as a great man once said:

"It was all started by a mouse..."

Minnie premiered right along with Mickey in "Steamboat Willie". Why no one mentions her birthday is beyond me, although I just realized I'm guilty of it too!

Donald-The Wise Little Hen, 1934 (Silly Symphony)
Pluto-The Chain Gang, 1930 (however, he was named "Rover" and wasn't Mickey)
Goofy-Mickey's Revue, 1932 (however, he was unnamed)
Daisy-Don Donald, 193? (she was named Donna)
Huey, Dewey, and Louie-Donald's Nephew's,1938

Happy birthday Mickey.

I can remember when Mickey turned 55, and Disney had a large party in my home town.

It was so fun, because Mickey Mouse was there, and a lot of his friends.

That was the only time I ever saw Mickey "in real life".
