Mickey Mouse made his first appearance November 18, 1928. In the form of Steamboat Willie a short animation synchronized to music and sound effects would help popularize the little mouse to fame. Short time later a Mickey Mouse club began in Salem Oregon. To join the club a donation of either a potato or a small toy and a penny were needed. The club raised $12 and three truckloads of potatoes and toys.
Trivia::
Did you know that before there was Mickey Mouse Walt Disney created a rabbit known as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit?? Disney would loose the rights to Oswald to Universal and inspire Disney to create a mouse character one that wore red shorts, had big ears, and wide eyes.
Did you know that Micky is married to Minnie Mouse. Yes I did say married It seems that they were married when Disney created the characters. Mickey and Minnie both appeared in Steamboat Willie
Did you know that Mickey's first word was "hotdog" Yes that is right after 8 films and only a squeal and a bit of laughter it would take the 9th film to see Mickey do the hotdog dance and speak.
