Mickey Mouse was the first great success of Walt Disney. Originally Mickey Mouse was known as “Mortimer Mouse,” although his wife, Lillian mentioned that “Mickey Mouse,” sounded better and he agreed. The little mouse was originally introduced in a cartoon called “Steamboat Willie.” From the start, Mickey Mouse was a huge sensation all around the world. He started appearing on many different items including toys, dolls, games, watches, clothing, comic books, toothbrushes, t-shirts, furnishings, and even automobile decorations. Walt once stated, “Fancy being remembered around the world for the invention of a mouse.”Information from: "Walt(er)(Elias) Disney." Biography Resource Center. Gale, 2010. Web. 26 Feb. 2010
