15 times Mickey Mouse made cameos in films
Mickey Mouse has not only starred in over 130 cartoon shorts and full-length films since his debut on Nov. 18, 1928, but has made cameo appearances in numerous films you might not have noticed.
While the most famous cameo is in “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” where Mickey appears skydiving next to Bugs Bunny, there are at least 14 other movies where Mickey shows up, sometimes in the shadows.
You could almost say he was a Hidden Mickey.
Here are the some of the more fun Mickey Mouse cameos:
