米奇老鼠（英文名称：Mickey Mouse）， 迪士尼 代表角色形象，是一只有着圆滚滚的大脑袋、圆滚滚的大耳朵、梨形的身体与像橡胶软管一样柔软、没有明显的关节、可以自由拉伸仿佛没有骨骼的四肢的小老鼠。他以随和，乐观，活跃，充满 奇思妙想 的性格广受世界各地的观众的欢迎。他总是吹着口哨，哼着小曲，蹦蹦跳跳，充满活力。尽管是个成年角色，但他保留了孩童的好奇、快乐，有点小调皮，并不总是很守规矩或很有礼貌，偶尔还有些贪玩，有点懒散，耐性不足，冲动而急躁，丢三落四，脾气颇为火爆，甚至会有些傲僈，有时会语出伤人，但过后又懊悔不已，想尽办法弥补。他颇富正义感，好打抱不平，常常会因此而不自量力，深陷麻烦中，但又总能凭借智慧成功地摆脱麻烦，圆满地解决问题。

米奇有一个最佳搭档，米妮。他俩同时诞生，一直是情侣关系。他还有两个铁哥们，唐纳德和高飞。他们经常一起出现，堪称“铁三角”。尽管共事时失败多于成功，三人之间也小摩擦不断，但丝毫不影响他们的友谊。他还有一只忠心耿耿的名叫布鲁托的大黄狗，他们是最好的朋友。

米奇的经典打扮是全身只着红色短裤，穿黄色的大鞋子，戴白手套。不同情境中也会穿相应的衣服，比如小巫师的长袍，指挥的燕尾服，主持人的西装，工人的工作服，火枪手制服等。这些衣服很好地遮挡了他瘦长的四肢，让他的四肢和本不明显的颈、肩、关节显得更明显。

这是上世纪五十年代美国ABC电视台的电视节目Mickey Mouse Club开场歌曲中最为人熟知的一句歌词，许多人由此记住了那只有着圆圆的大耳朵的小老鼠，以及他的名字：Mickey Mouse（米奇老鼠）。 ^[2] 1928年11月18日，世界首部有声卡通电影《 汽船威利 》(Steamboat Willie)在纽约殖民大剧院（Colony Theater）上映，轰动了整个纽约。一颗巨星诞生了。人们记住了那只穿靴戴帽随着音乐舞动的小老鼠。从那时开始，米老鼠风靡整个美国，在大萧条中给人以精神力量，走出国门，闻名世界。上世纪八十年代，米老鼠乘着改革开放的春风来到中国，至今魅力不减。 ^[3] 尽管动画片早已不再播出，但他仍时时处处同人们生活在一起，在玩具店的货架上，钟表上，服装上，与人不期而遇，送上他那永恒的微笑。 官方公布资料显示，米奇的前身是1927年华特·迪士尼和伍培·埃沃克斯创造的动画形象幸运兔子奥斯华（Oswald the Lucky Rabbit）,在奥斯华的版权被环球影业窃取后，伍培在奥斯华的基础上设计出了米奇 ^[4] 。这在《迪士尼的艺术：从米老鼠到魔幻王国》一书的第二章《米老鼠与“糊涂交响曲”》中有更详细的记录。 ^[7] 另据D23公布的资料显示，这个角色设计于纽约开往洛杉矶的火车上。 [1] Mickey Mouse -Disney wiki ．Disney wiki [引用日期2017-03-26] [2] Mickey Mouse Club March ．Disney wiki [引用日期2017-03-26] [3] 米老鼠和唐老鸭 ．CNTV [引用日期2017-03-26] [4]  [英]克里斯托弗·芬奇 /著， 彭静宜 /译．《迪士尼的艺术：从米老鼠到魔幻王国》（插图第五版）．北京联合出版公司·后浪出版公司 /出版，2015 [5]  Kenworthy, John ．The Hand Behind the Mouse ．New York：Disney ed.，2001：pp. 53–54.
