Disney over the course of almost 100 years has given birth to a ton of characters and franchises. One of the first and most beloved is Mickey Mouse, the company’s official mascot. Over time, the famous mouse has come to life in different versions or artistic styles and for the first time the original will appear in a video game.
We are talking about Mickey Mouse from Steamboat Willie, the first animation in which the mouse appeared. In case you don’t know, Disney worked on this project to showcase their technology to present an animation with synchronized audio, a first for 1928. Since then, the company has continued to use Mickey Mouse, who has gone through different stages until arriving with the standard version that we know now.
