Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
MINNIE MOUSE
Minnie Mouse is an animated, anthropomorphic mouse character created by Walt Disney. She is the longtime girlfriend of Mickey Mouse, known for her sweet disposition, cartoonishly large head bows, and polka-dotted dresses. Inspired by flapper girls of the 1920s, Minnie first appeared in the short Steamboat Willie, released on November 18, 1928.
Minnie is traditionally depicted as a starving musician, singer, and songwriter. Her classy, yet no-nonsense demeanor sometimes put her at odds with the troublemaking Mickey. Throughout the 1930’s, she frequently played the damsel-in-distress archetype, being kidnapped by the brutish Peg-Leg Pete and needing to be rescued by Mickey. In the 1940s, Minnie was relegated to bit parts in cartoons starring her kitten Figaro and Mickey's dog Pluto. By the 1950’s, she faded into obscurity altogether, and remained dormant for three decades.
Minnie was revitalized with the premiere of the 1988 television special Totally Minnie, her first starring role. Since then, Minnie has endured as one of the Walt Disney Company's most popular and significant characters. Typically partnered with her best friend, Daisy Duck, Minnie has headlined her own cartoons, such as Mickey Mouse Works, Minnie's Bow-Toons and Electric Holiday. Paul Rudish's series of shorts sought to develop Minnie's comedy by highlighting her impulsivity and spunk while maintaining her endearing demeanor.
In 2018, Minnie was recognized for her contributions to animation with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Recently, she has also appeared as a fashion icon, appearing at such events as New York Fashion Week and the Fashion Awards in Los Angeles, in addition to serving as the figurehead of the Rock the Dots apparel and merchandise promotions—inspired by her affinity for polka dots.
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
