==Origin==
Minnie Mouse originates from the 1928 film, ''{{w|Steamboat Willie}}'', in which she runs for the steamboat in order to not to be late for it, but misses it as Mickey left few moments ago. She then runs along the riverbank trying to catch the steamboat. Minnie reappears in many later Disney cartoons as a main character and also makes several cameos in other Disney cartoons.  
Minnie Mouse first appears in the 1928 short, ''{{w|Plane Crazy}}'', in which she takes a ride with Mickey in a plane he built. However, because the short failed, she is better known for appearing in the 1928 short ''{{w|Steamboat Willie}}'', which was the first Mickey Mouse cartoon with sound. Plane Crazy was later released with sound, the fourth cartoon, causing confusion as to which came first, and thus, which Minnie appeared in first.

In ''Steamboat Willie'', Minnie appears running to catch the steamboat, but it Mickey departs on it just as she arrives. She then runs along the riverbank trying to catch the boat. Hearing Minnie's cries for help, Mickey uses the crane to pick her up. She drops her fiddle and sheet music to "Turkey in the Straw" in the process, which a goat eats. After being unable to get the music out of the goat, Mickey decides to use the goat as a phonograph, and they both dance to the music, until Pete appears, scowling.  
 
Minnie first appears in her current form in ''{{w|Mickey's Surprise Party}}'' in 1939. Minnie has since appeared in many Disney cartoons and films. She almost always appears with her best friend, Daisy.
