About Minnie Mouse

In 1928 Minnie Mouse first graced our television screens beside Mickey Mouse. Minnie Mouse, or her full name as Minerva “Minnie” Mouse was created by Walt Disney. Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse to replace Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, but he soon found that Mickey Mouse could not live on the screen alone. He needed to have a female character. Minnie Mouse was dressed in a typical flapper girl outfit in order to speak with the trends at the time. Walt Disney realized he needed to have a character that would speak to the female set as well as to the male children. Mickey and Minnie Mouse first came on the screen in Plane Crazy in which they are on a date in Mickey’s plane. Minnie has had to battle Mickey’s affections over time to finally rest as a couple in the later cartoon series we see today.
