On this day in 1928, Walt Disney released "Steamboat Willie" and Mickey Mouse was introduced to the world. 77 years later, he still charms our hearts. From Steamboat Willie to the Sorcerer's Apprentice to the role of Jack in "Mickey and the Beanstalk" to Bob Crachit and one of the musketeers, Mickey has filled many of our favorite roles. He has even opened his own cartoon club. When Walt Disney released Mickey Mouse he "made a golden star for the silver screen". Congratulations Mickey. And may you shine brightly for many years. Happy birthday Mickey Mouse!!

And behind every great man...or mouse, is an even greater woman...or female mouse. Minnie has been right beside Mickey every step of the way. She also made her debut in "Seamboat Willie". She's come a long way from the day she rushed to catch the steamboat. And no woman has ever waited as long as she has for her guy to pop the question. Will Mickey ever propose? Only time will tell. And I have to admit, they both look extremely good for their age. Happy birthday Minnie Mouse!!

So, today, as you read this thread, respond with your favorite Mickey/Minnie memory and send your birthday wishes to Hollywood's greatest couple!!
