The Mouse Turns 80
Eighty years ago, on November 18th, one of the world's major cartoon icons was born - Mickey Mouse!
The cartoon short, "Steamboat Willie," was released theatrically on this day and was notable for being the first syncronized sound cartoon.
The creation of animation genius Walt Disney as well as a few of his friends, Mickey has gone on to worldwide fame. Surely there are not many in this world who don't know the Mouse.

Happy Birthday, Mickey!
