The Mickey Mouse series is an American media franchise by Disney. It centers on the titular character and mascot of the company, Mickey Mouse, an anthropomorphic mouse who typically wears red shorts, large yellow shoes, and white gloves. Mickey generally appears alongside his girlfriend, Minnie Mouse, his pet dog, Pluto, his friends, Donald Duck and Goofy, and his nemesis, Pete, among others. Originally characterized as a mischievous antihero, Mickey's increasing popularity led to his being rebranded as an everyman, usually seen as a flawed, but adventurous hero.
Mickey Mouse was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studios in 1928, and has become one of the most recognizable cartoon characters in the world, as well as the mascot of The Walt Disney Company. Mickey first was seen in a single test screening (Plane Crazy). Mickey officially debuted in the short film Steamboat Willie (1928), one of the first sound cartoons. He went on to appear in over 130 films, including The Band Concert (1935), Brave Little Tailor (1938), and Fantasia (1940). Mickey appeared primarily in short films, but also occasionally in feature-length films. Ten of Mickey's cartoons were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, one of which, Lend a Paw, won the award in 1942. In 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Beginning in 1930, Mickey has also been featured extensively as a comic strip character. His self-titled newspaper strip, drawn primarily by Floyd Gottfredson, ran for 45 years. Mickey has also appeared in comic books and in television series such as The Mickey Mouse Club (1955–1996) and others. He also appears in other media such as video games as well as merchandising, and is a meetable character at the Disney parks.
