On November 18th 1928, Walt Disney released Steamboat Willy. It was the first Disney Cartoon with sound. Walt was going to name him Mortimer, but taking his wife's advice he changed his mouse characters name to Mickey. Ub Iwerk was the man who had designed the original character. Walt was looking to use an animal character for his new animation/comic strip.
Mickey Mouse now is at the heart of the DIsney Empire.
