The year was 1928. Film producer Walt Disney was looking to create a new cartoon character for his film company, Walt Disney Studios. After turning down several designs, he drew inspiration from a tame mouse he found in his desk.

Walt shared the idea with animator Ub Iwerks, who got to working. Soon, a new cartoon character was born! And Iwerks and Disney had no idea at the time, but this mouse would soon grow into one of the most beloved creations of all time. And his name?
