The world's most famous mouse is none other than Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse was first introduced in 1928 after a less than amicable break up of the first Company Walt Disney was a part of founding. With a handful of loyal employees Walter "Walt" Elias Disney bounced back creating Mickey Mouse and his famous crew of companions with the help of Ub Iwerks.
Walt Disney originally named the character Mortimer Mouse and was convinced by his wife to change the name to Mickey Mouse. I think this was a wise move. I can't imagine a mouse as famous as Mickey with the name Mortimer. But who knows, maybe we all would have loved Mortimer just as well-- after all he was the same design.
Mickey Mouse was the first animated character to receive a Hollywood star of fame, which happened in the 70's. Mickey mouse has been the character of comic strips, comic books, movies, short films, books etc. One of the main character attractions at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, as well, is the world's most famous mouse.
Why the Mickey Mouse post on a pest control blog? Because it came up as I was searching for fun facts about mice and because I have kids, I thought it was interesting. Also worth noting? Mickey Mouse's voice was done by Walt Disney for his first couple of decades.
And because this was about Mickey Mouse, here is a classic Mickey Mouse clip instead of the usual National Geographic clip.
Although I would never try to oust Mickey Mouse, I am a pest control professional and would love to help you get rid of other less famous (and considerably less entertaining) mice and/or other pests.
