Guess which global icon turns 90 this year?

To celebrate the anniversary of the world’s most famous anthropomorphic mouse, Disney is giving 3 lucky readers the chance to win an awesome hamper that consists of a branded Mickey Mouse notebook, shopper bag, pencil bag, cushion and speaker.

Can you believe it? It’s been 90 years since Mickey Mouse’s first appearance in Steamboat Willie on the 18th November 1928.

Despite his age, Mickey has aged really well, even appearing in a new series, Mickey and the Roadster Racers, just last year. The Mickey the True Original campaign honours nine decades of the pop-culture icon’s reign with local festivities, art exhibitions, a new line of clothing, Mickey’s 90th Spectacular, a two-hour prime-time special, and many other awesome, interactive ways to enjoy the special occasion.

Who needs a slice of birthday cake when you can have all of this:

    More than just cute and heartwarming, Mickey Mouse as a movie star went on to receive critical acclaim. Before his death in 1966, Disney collected 25 Oscars — including a special award for creating Mickey Mouse. He won a final posthumous honour in 1968, bringing his total count to 26 Oscar statuettes, making him the most celebrated Oscar winner of all time.

    Mickey has gone on to far surpass his cartoon form, becoming a powerhouse that never goes out of style. As, Gianfranco Cordara at Disney Digital International says, there is one important rule about Mickey Mouse that anyone who works with him knows. “Mickey Mouse lives in his own world. There are no humans, there’s no politics, there is no religion. They are all animals with anthropomorphic attributes” she says. “This world is set, and it doesn’t change. And neither does Mickey.”

    For those who are older and don’t see him necessarily as a teacher, Mickey is still endearing in his own right. “He’s instantly recognizable,” says Shue. “My mom, who’s 87, has Mickey t-shirts and a bomber jacket with him on it too, and my nephew, who is 3, also has Mickey pyjamas.”

    “Although the idea of Mickey Mouse was thought of on a train ride that Disney took back from a disappointing meeting with his distributor in early 1928, in which he’d lost the rights to another of his creations (Oswald the Lucky Rabbit), it wasn’t until November 18, 1928 when he was officially unveiled to the world. ”
