In spring 1928, Walt Disney asked animator Ub Iwerks to start drawing some new characters. Most of Ub Iwerks' drawings were of cats and dogs and these were rejected by Walt Disney. Ub Iwerks then saw a 1925 picture drawn by Hugh Harman of mice around a photo of Walt Disney. This inspired him to create a mouse- Mickey Mouse. Mickey and Minnie Mouse first appeared in the cartoon Plane Crazy released on May 15, 1928. So basically the idea came from Ub Iwerks.
