Isn't he one of the first cartoon characters ever created?

Thumbs down? Not a fan of Mickey Mouse and the Disney juggernaunt? Mickey Mouse is an early character not one of the first. Mickey owes his creation to Oswald The Lucky and coroprate taking creator rights. Not to mention Ub Iwerks, the Bill Finger of the Disney company.Like Mickey Mouse or not his impact his felt still 85 years later even if he is just a corporate mascot for the msot part this day and age.

Wow. I didn't know Mickey was that old. Happy birthday, Mickey. Thanks for creating so many great Disney memories throughout my childhood.

Maybe thumbs down that he's 85 and not yet in the public domain and because of him many works haven't become public domain.

As for Mickey I don't care much for him, I knew him very well as a kid which is odd because outside of a special I never really saw many cartoons with Mickey Mouse, they always had the other Disney characters.. I guess that's the power of branding.

Wow. Hard to believe its been 85 years. Happy B-Day Mickey!:tsmile:

Ah, yes. I've been looking forward to his birthday. Don't forget to watch the all new special, 7 minute short "Potatoland" on Disney Channel tomorrow! Plus, Mickey is starring in ANOTHER all new short "Get a Horse!" which will play before Disney's new animated feature, Frozen.
