Mickey Mouse first hit the big screens on November 18, 1928, in a short called “Steamboat Willie”. If you are a fan and sharing on social media today, use #mickeymousebirthday to spread your love of the character turning 93 years old today.
I’ve long been a member of the Mickey Mouse Club… of course, the ones I watched on television are all gone now, but Mickey Mouse and Disney are bigger than ever.
There has always been some rumbling about when Mickey’s actual birthday is, but eventually, all agreed on November 18 being the official date. Interesting note, before he became Mickey Mouse, the very same character was once a rabbit named “Oswald”. (true)
