Minnie and Mickey were both first drawn in 1928 so she must be the same age as Mickey

Trivia
Two different people have taken credit for giving Mickey Mouse his first name. History has it that Walt Disney’s wife Lillian came up with it because she thought his original name, Mortimer, was too pompous. But child-star-turned-movie-star Mickey Rooney frequently claimed that it was his meeting with Walt in 1920 that provided the inspiration. Walt, being a very smart man, sided with his wife on that one.

Living the Dream
When I was a child, my uncle had a hand crank movie projector, and we would watch Steamboat Willie on several different films he had. Later, of course, Mickey Mouse. I have wished many times that I still had that projector and old films.
