Since then, Minnie has endured as one of The Walt Disney Company’s most popular and significant characters. Minnie was revitalized with the premiere of the 1988 television special Totally Minnie, her first starring role. By the 1950’s, she faded into obscurity altogether, and remained dormant for three decades. In the 1940s, Minnie was relegated to bit parts in cartoons starring her kitten Figaro and Mickey's dog Pluto. Throughout the 1930’s, Minnie was a frequent participant in Mickey’s adventures, often serving as a damsel-in-distress whom finds herself kidnapped by Peg-Leg Pete. Her classy, yet no-nonsense demeanor serves as a foil to the troublemaking Mickey. Minnie is traditionally depicted as a starving musician, singer, and songwriter. Inspired by flapper girls of the 1920s, Minnie first appeared in the short Steamboat Willie, released on November 18, 1928. She is also identified by her signature catchphrase, “ Yoo-hoo!”, which she affectionately calls out as a greeting. She is the longtime girlfriend of Mickey Mouse, known for her sweet disposition, large head bows, and polka-dotted dresses. Minnie Mouse is an animated, anthropomorphic mouse character created by Walt Disney. “ Gosh, Minnie, you've always been a princess to me.” ―Mickey Mouse
