Minnie Mouse Receives Her Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

On National Polka Dot day (Monday, January 22), The Walt Disney Company honored the beloved Minnie Mouse as she made history earning her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in California. Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger and global pop icon and judge of ABC’s “American Idol” Katy Perry, presented the honor to Minnie Mouse in front of Hollywood’s legendary El Capitan Theatre.

“Minnie Mouse has been a star and a fashion icon since she first burst onto the scene in the groundbreaking animated classic, ‘Steamboat Willie,’” Bob said. “The star of more than 70 movies during her illustrious career, Minnie has entertained millions of people around the world, touching hearts and bringing joy wherever she goes. We’re thrilled to see her cultural influence and many achievements recognized with her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”
