Walt Disney Animation Studios Wikia


Michel Mouse (better known simply as Mickey Mouse) is the titular protagonist of the universe franchise of the same name, as well as the mascot of The Walt Disney Company.

Fancifully estimated as standing 2 ft. 3 in. (69 cm) and weighing 23 pounds (10 kg), Mickey rapidly rose to the pinnacle of American culture, being more widely recognized overseas than any other American icon but the U.S. flag. For over 90 years, he has signified The Walt Disney Company, animation, goodwill, fun, laughter, and most of all, Walt Disney himself. It was said by Lillian Disney, his wife, that over the years, Mickey and Walt grew together and were mirrors of each other's personality. They both started off mischievous and cheeky, but as they grew older, preferred to help others and step out of the spotlight to observe others and work their magic. President Jimmy Carter once said; "Mickey Mouse is the symbol of goodwill, surpassing all languages and cultures. When one sees Mickey Mouse, they see happiness". Mickey also shares the same birthday with his girlfriend Minnie Mouse.

He is voiced by the late founder of Disney and his creator Walt Disney, and the late James MacDonald in 1947 in the old Classic shorts, the late Wayne Allwine from 1977 to 2009, and currently by Bret Iwan through the rest of the series and Chris Diamantopoulos also voices him in the new animated shorts and Once Upon a Studio.
