Mickey's Page

Mouse is arguably the most famous of the Disney cartoon characters. Making his
debut in "Steamboat Willie" at the Colony Theatre in New York City on November
18, 1928, Mickey went on to star in over 120 different cartoons. He also starred
in "The Mickey Mouse Club" television show of the 1950s.
Mickey Mouse's original drawings used circles for his head, body and ears.
1939's "The Pointer" saw a bold, new design for Mickey as his body became more
pear-shaped and pupils were added to his eyes to increase his range of
expression. Later on, animators of the 1940s would add a perspective aspect to
his ears, giving them a three-dimensional effect. This change, however, was
short-lived. The Mickey Mouse of today appears much as he did in the early days
with the exception of a costume change here and there.
