The History of Mickey Mouse 

91 years of me! I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon

Who's here after Steamboat Willie entered the public domain?

"I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse" Walt Disney

It's hard to believe that 85 years ago today, the world was introduced to this adorable mouse that would eventually become one of the most well-known animated characters in the world

Now Mickey Mouse is 95 years old now!

Mickey Mouse is timeless and is forever in our hearts and minds.

Would it be weird if I said that Disney should go back to hand drawn animation? It makes more sense for a 20s character.

Happy birthday, Mickey!

happy bday mickey

"hot dogs! Hot dogs!" -Mickey Mouse, 1929

I just realized I'm watching a 2011 video

Fantasia is one of my favorite mickey appearances ever

The history of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

probably a dumb pointless question but i think he should have kept the tail? after all he is a mouse.. anyone else?

I always love Mickey Mouse he's one of my favorite cartoon characters of all times.

Just saying, Steamboat Willie debuted in 1928, not 1933

I love both Mickey and Oswald. Both are so adorable!

If it weren't for Walt's wife we all would have been watching "Mortimer Mouse"

I love Love LOVE Mickey Mouse

Don't forget he also did house of mouse back in the early 2000s showing a lot of old cartoon shorts.

you forget about the KINGDOM HEARTS!!! Mickey is The King! ^_^

His best incarnation is as King Mickey in Kingdom Hearts

2:26 we all watched that as todlers

I like how they actually added the facts that Oswald was before Mickey and that Mickey was voiced by Disney

Disney Epic Mickey: Undoubtedly one of Mickey's best moments in his life... god, I love that game

don't you dare mordenize him Disney! my favourite look is still the steamboat willie one :P

"It's a bumhole's dance keep your money in your pants" Best roast ever

I love Epic Mickey so much because it shares history before Mickey was created like Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

I remember this character and I love the cartoons he starred in. My favorite disney movie with Mickey is Fantasia. But my favorite cartoons of Mickey's are Thru The Mirror, The Pointer, Symphony Hour, Lonesome Ghosts, Hawaiian Holiday and Mr. Mouse takes a trip.

That's the thing about Walt Disney. He was always thinking ahead in ways that many of the much bigger and much more poweful producers often weren't. He was the only significant producer in Hollywood who wasn't panicking about television in the early 1950s.

Man I love Mickey Mouse

thank u for the vid WatchMojo

I may be old but when I first saw the cartoon I was 14 in 1970 and to this day I still love Mickey mouse

great video, but in my opinion you forgot Mickey's badass appearance in Kingdom Hearts II (or Kingdom Hearts in general)

Pete has actually been in existance longer than Mickey appearing in the villianous role since 1925's alice solves the puzzle.

“Trios never work out” Mickey Mouse, goofy, and Daniel: what do you mean🤨

I think that "Get a Horse", the short released alongside Frozen, may be the theatrical film they were referring to. Maybe, but, who knows? The future is open to a lot of interpretation.

I still think Disney should bring back the old cartoons and make new ones just like the old ones with a twist, with the half brothers, Oswald and Mickey, starring in them maybe together? I would absolutely love to see that, because to be honest if Walt saw those 2 cartoons, I'm sure he would start crying tears of happiness. But anyways the cartoons and shows Disney has now sucks. I hate it, I hate the new old comedy cartoons where Mickey Donald Minnie goofy look like their all from the junkyard or something. At least make it like Walt did, I say they should bring back house of mouse, the channel toon Disney, with all the old and new cartoons airing 24/7. (My thoughts) thumbs up if you agree!

this is the best mojo video I have ever seen

It’s a revolutionary use of animation with a character and his pals, Minnie, Donald Duck, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto!

He's beautiful. I hate the clubhouse series though. OFF TO DRAWING MICKEY!!

How he and Mario never met, we will never know.

Mickey Mouse is 91 years old from Steamboat Willie to today. Mickey brings us joy.

Incidentally, just as Wayne Allwine and his wife Russi Taylor would come to voice the mice couple from the 80s until Allwine's 2009 passing, Walt voiced both Mickey and Minnie originally, yet per the comic books and interviews with the remaining Disney family, Mickey and Minnie weren't just the focal stars and figurehead mascots, they were--in effect--the alter-egos of "Uncle" Walt & his wife Lillian, hence why all subsequent Mickey voice actors are said to just be "filling in for the boss".

Mortimer was initially Walt's name for Mickey, but wife Lillian decided for him, because she hated the name of Mortimer, so Walt chose Mickey to make his wife happy. Also, Mickey is not just a mascot/figurehead, he carries in him the spirit of Walt, because as Jimmy MacDonald told Wayne Allwine, "Remember, you're just filling in for the boss". And, since Epic Mickey confirms Oswald as Mickey's older brother, if Mickey is Walt, Oswald would be Roy (Sr.), and Minnie & Otensia would be their wives.

Steamboat Willie came out in 1928 July 29, Not 1933

1:40 OMG it's the hot-dog dance! ;D

Hey does anyone here know where I can watch the old classic Disney shorts on tv or phone? Thanks!

1:03 d-d-did you say may 15th? as in MAY 15th? omg YAAAY MICKEY FIRST APPEARED ON MY BIRTHDAY WHOOOO! just 64 years ahead of time!

I Love Mickey mouse

Happy 90th birthday Mickey! It was all started by you!

Mickey mouse has always been my favorite Disney character of all time

"and the loss of his tail" *shows later scenes in colour with tail* ... Wait a second...

No love for his show house of mouse?

Great stuff

Mickey was put of my childhood and it put a smile on my face.

ok I will aways ALWAYS love Mickey but if your going to use something that Mickey hosts PLEASE I BEG YOU DON'T USE Mickey's Club House! The House of Mouse is and will always be a 100 million billion catrillion zillion times better! And I'm going to say that they have a lot of this right but some they got wrong and didn't even mention! Like Mickey was going to be taller and named Mortarmer Mouse but Walt's Wife, Lily, said no Mickey sounds better. Also Oswald has come home in Epic Mickey and is like is little brother (yes you can call them brothers) in a lot of ways but is sadly forgotten by lots of people due to his absence from the screen for a 100 years or so. ~A huge ass Disney Fan who's only watching this to see what they say.

they better not mess him up like Scooby-Doo

Happy 90th anniversary Mickey Mouse!!

90 years of Mickey Mouse! Happy Birthday!

I love Oswald the Lucky Rabbit :)

Yup.... was still only thinking of Kingdom Hearts. Lol

Mickey is the cheerful rodent with the white gloves, round ears, nose, tail, yellow shoes and red shorts!

Anyone think it’s long past time Mickey got his own movie and an adventure all for him?

Steamboat wille (1933) is supposed to be (1928)

0:27 Mickey Mouse with GUNS?!?!?! HOW UNHEARD OF AND OBSCENE!!!!!!!

As of 2018, he is voiced by Bret Iwan and Chris Diamatopolis, Mickey Clubhouse ended in 2016 to make room for Mickey Mouse and the Roadster Racers the following year and Mickey talked to guests during meet and greet sessions at Disney World.

GREAT TOP 10 LIST!!

I love mickey but the mickey mouse clubhouse ruined i JUST RUINED IT

too bad disney was not original

Mickey is also INCREDIBLY humble.

1928: Steamboat Willie 1940: were not there yet 1970: not yet 1983: mickeys Christmas carol but not yet 2004: turned 3D but still not yet 2013: WHY IS THERE NAKED MICKEY, DONALD, AND GOOFY!?

Little known fact: that's Walt (again) doing the voice of Mickey on "The Mickey Mouse Club".

Happy happy birthday, Mickey!

“Hotdogs!” - Mickey’s first heard words

i knew i wasn’t the only one who played epic mickey that whole game felt like a fever dream

Mickey is so awesome

No matter how old u are you will always love Mickey Mouse

Happy 90th Mickey ^^

I did enjoy his cartoons when I was a kid, but I was completely fed up with The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse after only 3 episodes.

I can’t believe that this video came out since 10 years old!😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

I absolutely love Mickey Mouse I'm a true Mickey Mouse Fanatic. I have everything Mickey.

It is sad that Walt Disney died he will be remembered all 1999-2020

mickey seriously needs to make a comeback

He also now appears in shorts that air on The Disney Channel since 2013.

personally I wanna say I am super hyped for the new MM series, the new art style is kinda catching, and it looks like they are gonna make him the mischievous troublemaker kind of Mickey instead of the "Mr. Nice guy" he has been for the last decade or so. also if Oswald becomes a major character in the series, I will proclaim it the best show on Disney channel in ages(though P&F is pretty good.)

I often wonder how Mickey would interact with non-Disney characters. I remember that scene in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" where he and Bugs Bunny were doing parachuting when they ran into a falling Eddie Valient (the recently-departed Bob Hoskins.

Mickey and Pluto are so cute :)

I love Mickey so much

Mickey is my favorite :) In Kingdom Hearts he's incredible and in general he's just so endearing

Oh, Boy! The Voices of Mickey Mouse were his co-creator Walt Disney, Jerry MacDonald, Les Perkins, Wayne Allwine and now, Bret Iwan. Chris Diamantopolis of last year's The Three Stooges voiced Mickey in the 3-minute cartoon shorts for Disney Channel.

Happy 91st birthday Mickey!

When games were mentioned, I thought of Kingdom Hearts. King Mickey is awesome :)

Dang... Mickey goes way back!

Mickey is 90 years old you still looks good

Who else gets nostalgic when watch old watchmojo video

Pete in steam boat willie looked way different than today

this video is 11 years old wow

In the late 1920s and into the 1930s, all cartoon characters had that "Rubber Hose" style of animation and were drawn similarly. Ex: Warner Bros. Bosko & Honey were basically Oswald & his girl sans rabbit ears and the trio of Foxy, Roxy, & Goopy Gear were WB's answer to Mickey, Minnie, & Dippy Dawg/George Geef/Goofy (as well as basically the standard that created the Warners as their 90s counterparts).

I love Mickey Mouse he is my favorite hero
