Michael Theodore Mouse, also known as Mickey Mouse, is the mascot of Walt Disney and the main protagonist of the Mickey Mouse series. Cheerful and anthropomorphic, Mickey Mouse made his debut in 1928 in the short titled Steamboat Willie and has become a very popular and recognizable worldwide phenomenon. He is also the most popular fictional character of all time other than Mario. Mickey is also the boyfriend of Minnie Mouse, who has privately married her and the two are always depicted as dating on-screen.

Concept and creation
After the time of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was over, Walt Disney wanted to conceive a new cartoon character to serve as Disney's mascot. After some ideas, he decided that a mouse would be a cute and sympathetic character who suited the theme of cartoons and pop culture. Walt Disney began to draft some concepts for his character. Once his design and structure of the character was finally completed, Walt Disney dubbed his creation "Mortimer Mouse", but his wife did not approve the idea and considered "Mickey Mouse" instead.

Trivia

 * As already mentioned above, during the creation of Mickey Mouse's character, Walt Disney was planning on naming his creation "Mortimer Mouse", but his wife didn't agree, as she felt that such a name wasn't suitable for a cute character and she thought about the name "Mickey Mouse", and Walt Disney decided to change his mind.
 * He would later use the name "Mortimer" for another character who is a love rival of Mickey.
