On This Day May 15

Mickey Mouse actually started off as a rabbit. Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, but after a disagreement over rights with the film distributor, Disney refused a pay cut and with Iwerks created Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse's first appearance was in a cartoon short called Plane Crazy on May 15, 1928. Plane Crazy was not well received and failed to find a distributor. Mickey became an instant hit in November 1928 with the release of Steamboat Willie.
