The History of Minnie Mouse

Disney World©

  Mickey Mouse's girlfriend, Minnie, made her film debut, along with Mickey, in "Steamboat Willie" on November 18, 1928. That date is recognized as her official birthday. Along with Mickey, who shares her birthday, and Donald Duck, she is one of only three Disney characters with an officially recognized birthday. A popular character, Minnie did not have her own cartoon series, but appeared in 73 cartoons with Mickey Mouse and Pluto.

  The first voice of Minnie Mouse was Marcellite Garner, from the Ink and Paint Department at the Disney Studio. She was succeeded by several others from that department, and currently the voice is supplied by Russi Taylor.

  Minnie's nieces are Millie and Melody. They first appeared in a comic book story in 1962.
