Mickey Mouse made his official debut in a 1928 short film titled “Steamboat Willie, ” one of the first cartoons ever to use synchronized sound effects.

When Mickey spoke for the first time, in 1929’s “The Karnival Kid” (his words were “Hot dog, hot dog”), Walt was unhappy with how the character sounded and went on to lend his own voice to the mouse until 1947’s “Mickey and the Beanstalk, ” when he said he was too busy to continue doing so.
