Mickey Mouse is one of the most popular Disney cartoon characters, which is why a Mickey Mouse poster dating to 1928 fetched a price of $100,000 at an auction. The character of Mickey Mouse was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1928, and soon appeared in a few silent cartoons, which unfortunately remained undistributed.
Of course, later on, the Mickey Mouse cartoon character became very famous. With its trademark large yellow shoes and red shorts, Mickey Mouse appeared in more than 130 films, and even became the first cartoon character to have its own star on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. I remember watching quite a lot of Mickey Mouse cartoons as a child.
