Mickey Mouse cartoons were produced on a regular basis by the Walt Disney Studios from 1928 until 1953. Every Mickey Mouse cartoon was originally made for the theater release.
The cartoons were distributed through CELEBRITY PRODUCTIONS [from 1928 to 1929], COLUMBIA PICTURES [from 1930 to 1932], UNITED ARTISTS [from 1932 to 1937] and R.K.O. RADIO PICTURES [from 1937 to 1953]. Eventually , they were distributed by Buena Vista Pictures and Walt Disney Pictures.
Since that time, there have been a few Mickey Mouse cartoons here and there, but nothing on a regular basis except for television computer drawn animations for the Disney Channel. Other TV shows that included Mickey Mouse in an animated form were The Original Mickey Mouse Club [1955-1959], The Mouse Factory [1971-1793], Good Morning Mickey [1983-1992], The New Mickey Mouse Club [1989 to 1996], Mickey Mouse Tracks [1992-1999], Mickey Mouse & Friends [1994-1997], Mickey Mouse Works [1999-2000], INK and Paint Club [1997-1998], Disney's House of Mouse [2001-2002], and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse [2006-the present].
The original voice of Mickey Mouse was Walt Disney himself, but by 1946, he was too busy and passed the task until studio musician, Jimmy MacDonald until the 1970's. Walt did however, record the introduction of the Mickey Mouse Club in the 50's. Less Perkins briefly did the voice for two specials. The voice job was given to Wayne Alwine in 1983 with the production of Mickey's Christmas Carol. Wayne was married to the voice of Minnie Mouse, Russi Taylor. Wayne Alwine passed away on May 18, 2009 and Bret Iwan took over as the main voice for Mickey Mouse, except for the 2013 animated Mickey Mouse Club series on the Disney Channel which is voiced by Chris Diamantopulos.
