Michael "Mickey" Mouse is a comic animal cartoon character who has become a symbol for The Walt Disney Company. He was created on May 15, 1928 by Ub Iwerks and voiced by Walt Disney, and the mouse has evolved from being simply a character in animated cartoons and comic strips to become one of the most recognizable symbols in the world.

 

Walt Disney himself voiced Mickey Mouse from 1928 until 1946, when sound effects man James G. MacDonald took over the role. Mickey has since been voiced by Wayne Allwine.
