First Time Mickey Mouse

I love Mickey Mouse so much! Did you know that first Mickey is not created by Walt Disney? The one who created Mickey is Ub Iwerks.

Mickey Mouse was created because Disney lost patent to Oswald the rabbit character. 

Disney hired away most the staff, but Ub Iwerks stay to created new character. He drew frog, dog, cat, horse, cow, etc but none of them represent Disney. Until in 1925 he saw Hugh Harman sketches of mice, and that inspired him to draw Mickey Mouse!
