On November 18, 1928, the film Steamboat Willie<\/em> premiered,\u00a0 the first sound-synchronized animated cartoon. Mickey Mouse made his way into the world and into the hearts of many, bringing a lot of smiles and laughs with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll we ever intended for him or expected of him was that he should continue to make people everywhere chuckle with him and at him. We didn\u2019t burden him with any social symbolism, we made him no mouthpiece for frustrations or harsh satire,” said Disney. “Mickey was simply a little personality assigned to the purposes of laughter.\u201d<\/div>\n
One thing that never fails to make me laugh and smile is this video of Mickey Mouse Dancing. He busted a move on four different occasions at the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration<\/a> earlier this year, and I had to compile that footage. Seeing Mickey moonwalk was definitely a highlight for me.<\/p>\n
