Happy birthday, Mickey! Here’s how luxury brands are celebrating the iconic Disney mouse

His impact on the cultural world is immense, having shaped many childhood’s – despite his unnaturally high, squeaky voice.
“When people laugh at Mickey Mouse it’s because he’s so human; and that is the secret of his popularity,” Disney said.
