Happy Birthday Mickey!

Disney is celebrating Mickey Mouse's 90th birthday on November 18.

The iconic character started life as the star of 'Steamboat Willie', a short cartoon released in 1928.

Conceived by illustrator and entrepreneur Walt Disney, Mickey is the enduring symbol of the multi billion dollar brand.

Over the last 90 years, numerous Disney theme parks have popped up world wide and the mouse is a world famous character, appearing on clothing, homewares and even food.

Mickey Mouse has starred or had cameos in hundreds of movies, video games and television shows, most notably 'Fantasia' and 'Get a Horse'.

'Mickey's 90th Spectacular' celebration was a two-hour television event earlier this month. He was joined by stars including Kristen Bell and John Stamos, who were there to commemorate the life and times of the world's most famous mouse.
