To celebrate her 90th anniversary, Minnie Mouse gets her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! Minnie will be honored with the 2,627th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Monday, January 22, 2018 at 11:30 a.m. PST.
Alongside Emcee Leron Gubler, President/CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, will be Robert A. Iger, Chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, and Katy Perry, singer and judge of ABC’s American Idol. If you’re in town, stop by El Capitan Theatre to participate in the fun!

Minnie is not the first Disney character to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She will be joining Donald Duck, Tinker Bell, Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, Kermit the Frog, and, of course, Mickey Mouse, who received his star in 1978 during his 50th Anniversary.

It’s hard to believe Minnie has been around 90 years. It must be good to be a mouse when it comes to aging! She made her debut in Steamboat Willie, instantly becoming Mickey’s and America’s sweetheart. Not only is she sweet and a lot fun, but Minnie is a fashion icon. What other Mouse has graced the cover of fashion magazines and strutted their stuff in runway shows in New York, Tokyo, and Paris?
Minnie also strives to do good in the lives of people everywhere. In 2016 and 2017, Minnie was represented by Disney fans and social media users who participated in #ShareYourEars. These campaigns resulted in $4 million in donations to Make-A-Wish!
Minnie was an important part of my childhood. We visited her at Disney every year for either Christmas or Halloween. These are very best memories!
I knew Minnie Mouse had been around for awhile but WOW! It’s crazy to think about how much the technology of cartoons has changed from when I was little to now.
Aww, this is awesome! I love Minnie Mouse ๐

I’m a tad Minnie obsessed so I’m really excited to hear this. It’s about time too. I honestly didn’t know she didn’t have one already!
