They got it wrong - Mickey Mouse was created on 16 March 1928. Could not believe it when the newspeople said happy birthday - they were a few months out.

He had a long gestation

Steamboat Willie was first shown to the public on 18 November

It may have been created on 16 March, there was test footage shown on 29 July but it wasn't fully released until November

Someone described Disneyland was the biggest people trap built by a mouse.

Walt Disney, if my memory serves me well, was on a train on 16 March when the idea was born of Mickey Mouse - his voice was the original voice.

That was the conception, not the birth

If I were Chinese I would say that his life began on 16th March - it is a date I remember well, it is my husband's birthday and he always felt a kinship to Mickey!!!!
