Gosh! Mickey shares his birthday with the anniversary of the Jonestown massacre.
I like Mickey just fine myself, but the recently departed George Carlin was decidedly cynical about acknowledging Mickey's birthday. To quote in part: "Mickey Mouse- no wonder no one takes our country seriously, we waste valuable news time informing our citizens of the age of an imaginary rodent!" Okay, enough party-pooping. Happy 80th, you ol' mouse. |

The problem is it's not really even Mickey Mouse's Birthday. It's merely the anniversary of his first hit film, Steamboat Willie. But, sorry folks, he was born many months earlier when his first movie, Plane Crazy, premiered in theaters.
Ooops, Disney Lies Again. What a surprise. (And both films can be seen perpetually inside the Main Street Cinema). Happy Sorta Birthday Mickey, you old con mouse. |

I will grant that, as a fictional character, he can have a fictional birthday.
I just wish it wasn't Disney's policy to lie about practically everything. |

Plane crazy premiered and didn't do hardly anything and Disney didn't find a distributor for it. So while you could use it as the birth date of Mickey Mouse it wasn't until Steamboat Willie that he was presented to an expansive audience.
ETA: Or what the Wikipedia page GD linked to says. |

But wouldn't theoretically he had to have been born prior to the movie being released? One can't make AND release a movie the day they were born. Well, one could nowadays, but I doubt that is what happened with MM.
