Mickey The Mouse Club

Minnie Mouse is one of the most recognisable figures in Disney history but often takes to the shadows simply because Mickey, her beloved boyfriend of almost 80 years, takes the limelight. However, there is more to Minnie Mouse than meets the eye.

Minnie has starred in 78 cartoons with Mickey Mouse and is synonymous with Disney. She actually had the year 1996 dedicated to her to make sure that she was recognised for her achievements, but that was a rarity. If you want more information on Min nie Mouse and want to give her the fame that she thoroughly deserves, go to  http://disney.go.com/vault/archives/characterstandard/minnie/minnie.html for a closer look at her!

Steamboat Willie is one of Mickey Mouse’s most famous characters and comes from one of his earliest films. If you haven’t seen it, you really should. This was before Mickey could talk. However, those of you interested in the history of Mickey should take a look at http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/articles/ushistory/mickeymouse.htm. This webpage is a part of a children’s education program and will be perfect for engaging your children from an early age. Take a look and see what you think, but I personally think it’s perfect for education.

Have you ever wondered what Mickey Mouse’s family tree would look like, if he ever had one? We all think about our own family trees from time to time but never those of cartoon characters, even though they can be enlightening too!

You can actually see Mickey’s family tree at http://goofy313g.free.fr/calisota_online/trees/mymousetree.html. It is absolutely brilliant and so entertaining - you should see some of the pictures!!! Take a look for yourself!
