Known for his raspy, partially-intelligible, and frenzied speech, Donald Duck first appeared in the 1934 short The Wise Little Hen, but his hilariously short-tempered personality wasn't fully formed until he successfully became Mickey's comedic foil in Orphan's Benefit, which marked the first time Mickey and Donald appeared together. If Mickey isn't one of the most memorable cartoon character voices developed by Disney, then that honor would go to Donald Duck. That seems to be the guiding principle for all the actors, including current voice Bret Iwan, who took over in 2009. One of the actors, Wayne Allwine, who was the voice through the 80s, 90s, and 00s, said former voice Jimmy MacDonald told him, “you’re only filling in for the boss,” meaning Disney. All told, fifteen different people have provided Mickey’s voice over the past nearly ninety years, all using the distinct, somewhat shy falsetto that began with Disney. In those first talkie appearances, he was voiced by his creator, Walt Disney.

When audiences first saw him in the black and white short Steamboat Willie-the first cartoon to synchronize sound and picture - he was non-verbal aside from some whistling and high-pitched squeaks that hinted at the voice to come in later appearances Dating all the way back to 1928, he's among the oldest animated characters of all time, and sports one of the most recognizable cartoon character voices. Arguably the most recognizable animated character in the world, Mickey was, of course, the creation of Walt Disney himself.
