Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse

Monday September 1, 2008

Although many of the early Mickey Mouse items have a more pronounced nose, you can see by the 1929 United States Patent that Mickey looks exactly the same as he does today. Mickey hasn't aged a bit.

Disney's Mickey Mouse is the most reproduced image in the world, ahead of both Jesus (#2) and Elvis (#3).

What was the first item? A 1929 children's school tablet.
