It wasn't the first of the Mickey Mouse Cartoons and, like any other cartoon short, was just the next idea that came along. However, it's well known because Walt wanted to be on the cutting edge so it was the first cartoon with sound. One could say that Walt made Steamboat Willie to be the first cartoon but it happened to be the cartoon they were working on when Walt secured his first sound recording equipment and worked the kinks out.
