When you think of Disney, you can’t help but also think about Mickey Mouse. Whether it’s the iconic ears sold in the theme parks, his signature voice, or even the hidden Mickeys found throughout the Disney parks and films, his fingerprints are all over the Walt Disney Company.

There’s a reason the line to meet Mickey always has such a long, but worthwhile wait. People, young and old, love this animated mouse.

Mickey Mouse was created in 1928, making him over 90 years old. After losing the rights to Oswald the lucky rabbit, Walt Disney created a new character with the help of Ub Iwerks. Iwerks did the animation while Disney was the original voice of Mickey.

His name was originally going to be Mortimer. Fortunately for Disney fans everywhere, Walt Disney’s wife Lillian turned it down.

When the name was pitched to her, she said it wasn’t right for the adorable mouse, and sent Walt back to the drawing board. After that moment, Mickey Mouse was born!

His first two movie appearances were Plane Crazy and Gallopin’ Gaucho, both released in 1928. Later that year, Steamboat Willie was released, featuring Mickey Mouse whistling while steering a boat.

It was this film that really made Mickey Mouse a star. Walt Disney was even given a special award in 1932 for the creation of Mickey Mouse: the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Since then, Mickey Mouse has starred in hundreds of movies and television shows. He has multiple Christmas specials on Disney Plus and numerous shows, such as Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse Roadster Racers, and many more! He’s even starred in Disney’s takes on classic stories like A Christmas Carol and The Three Musketeers.

Today, Mickey Mouse’s appearance is more recognizable than Santa Claus. You can’t go into a Disney theme park without seeing people in Mickey and Minnie ears at every turn. When you go into any Disney store, there are dozens of shirts, pajamas, and bags sold that feature Mickey in some form.

Mickey has even been voted for in elections! That’s right. Every election, people write in Mickey Mouse, whether it’s for president or local elections. This famous animated mouse is the most common write-in candidate.

He’s the star of every Disney parade and part of the reason why we all love Disney so much. Mickey Mouse truly is a large part of American culture and has made an impact on people all around the globe.

Meeting Mickey Mouse with his iconic red shorts and white gloves is always our favorite part of the day in the happiest place on earth. I miss the talking Walt Disney World Mickey where you could see a little personality almost like the real thing.

Whether it’s in a Disney park nighttime spectacular, a video game, or one of the many hilarious Mickey Mouse shorts, there are dozens of quotes from this lovable mouse. If you’re missing the parks or just need a reminder of what makes Mickey so wonderful, I’ve put together a list containing 100 of the best quotes both about and from the Mouse himself.
