Created by Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse is a dearly loved character that is known worldwide. Despite the fact that in his 80 years his image has changed, he is immediately identifiable everywhere he goes. His likeness has been used on items like costumes, posters, figurines, key chains, and clothing. Nowadays, if you love Mickey Mouse, you can even purchase personal bank checks that contain the famous mouse.

Mickey was initially produced as a replacement for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. He first appeared in 1928 and Walt Disney himself did his voice until 1947. Mickey's first emergence was on November 18th in the cartoon "Steamboat Willie." Movies with sound were still quite new at that time.

The inspiration behind Mickey Mouse partly came from actor Charlie Chaplin, who was very well known then. Knowing that the film audience liked small animals and children, Disney thought that an animated mouse would show some of the childlike innocence that Charlie Chaplin himself represented.

Mickey was the mascot for the extremely popular television series "The Mickey Mouse Club" which pop culture stars like Annette Funicello. In the 1990's when the show was revived, it produced some of our present day stars like Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling, Christina Aguilera, Keri Russell, and Justin Timberlake. Even today Mickey can still be seen on television with the children's program "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" which also contains his friends Donald, Daisy, Pluto, and Goofy.

Nowadays, Mickey Mouse is world famous for being a mouse with human traits and a friendly persona. He is the representative for Walt Disney theme parks, and few characters have continued to be as popular.

Carrying Mickey Mouse checks is a great way to spread the magic and wonderment of Disney. Checks featuring single images of Mickey Mouse can be purchased, as well as checks that also include images of Mickey with his friends Minnie, Donald Duck, Pluto, and Goofy.

The majority of the checks come in a series of four designs. This is good since every check you write will be different than the one you wrote before it.

Checks with images of Mickey from his early years can be found, too, if you would rather have vintage-inspired images.

Additionally, several Mickey Mouse checks permit you to use a photograph of your own to create something even more tailored to fit you.

Coordinating checkbook covers, contact cards, stationary, and address labels can be found to match your new Mickey Mouse personal checks. Almost every check series features coordinating accessories.

It used to be pricey to go to your local bank and purchase personal checks that weren't plain and dull. However, if you purchase your checks online at a safe site you can save as much as 50% off of the price that you might have paid in the past.

When you buy your Mickey checks online you should have your routing number and your checking account number handy. They should get to you in about 5 days, which is probably less than it would take the bank to get them to you.
