Minnie Mouse is a cartoon character created by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney. Both she and Mickey Mouse were first drawn in 1928 by Iwerks. It was featured as a comic strip story. Minnie was designed as a fashion “flapper” girl and this is displayed in her main iconic outfit. This made the Minnie Mouse character very distinctive along with her oversized shoes. Her playful, cute, and musical personality made her a great match for Mickey and together they have become an iconic part of American history.
