Minnie Mouse was initially called Minerva Mouse and made her debut as Minnie in 1928 in the Disney animation "Plane Crazy" alongside Mickey Mouse. The cute girlfriend of Mickey Mouse, often dressed in a Red and White Polka dot dress is good friends with Daisy Duck and Clarabelle the Cow, and is known for her phrases "Yoo-hoo!" and "Why, hello!" Minnie Mouse often plays the part of a damsel in distress, but usually mages to free herself. She is kind, friendly, loyal and completely in love with Mickey Mouse. Minnie is now as big a star as Mickey and features heavily in the parades at Disneyland Florida and Disneyland Paris, becoming the most asked for female Disney character at the parks.
