Mickey Mouse was created by Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks and Les Clark in 1928. He was created to replace Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
Disney had previously used the character of Oswald in several animated shorts produced by Charles Mitnz. In 1928, Disney's requests for an increased budget was met with opposition from Mitnz, who instead insisted that Disney take a 20% budget cut. Mintz owned all rights to the Oswald character and had also signed most of Disney's animators to a new company, producing shorts for Universal Studios.
Disney refused this deal and worked with Iwerks and Clark to create a new character. Mickey Mouse (originally called Mortimer) was inspired by a pet mouse once owned by Disney. He debuted (along with Minnie Mouse) in the 1928 short, Plane Crazy.

∙ 15y agoWalt Disney made Mickey Mouse as a cartoon character. Mickey was one of the first cartoon characters, and his original name was Mortimer Mouse; however, Walt's wife felt that name was too pretentious and so he changed it to Mickey. The reason he was invented was, presumably, because Walt needed an income and felt this path would work for him.
