Queen Minnie is very humble, regards herself as equal to her citizens, and displays very little hubris toward her status as queen. For example, she asks Aqua to address her simply as "Minnie". She cares very much for those dear to her, such as Mickey, Donald and Goofy, hoping for their safe return from their journey. Minnie also has little tolerance for evildoers, such as Pete and Maleficent, demanding to know what they are up to. The status of her kingdom also concerns her because of the Unversed and [[Heartless]]'s appearances throughout the years and causing chaos. | Queen Minnie is very humble, regards herself as an equal to her citizens, and displays very little hubris toward her status as queen.

However | 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, 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 as 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 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. | In ''Steamboat Willie'', Minnie appears running to catch the steamboat, but Mickey departs on it just as she arrives.
