Minnie Mouse is one of the anthropomorphic cartoon characters created by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney. She and Mickey Mouse were first drawn by Iwerks in 1928; the Mickey Mouse comic strip story "The Gleam" by Merrill De Maris and Floyd Gottfredson first gave her full name as Minerva Mouse, although this is used. The comic strip story "Mr. Slicker and the Egg Robbers" introduced her father Marcus Mouse and her unnamed mother, both farmers; the same story featured photographs of Minnie's uncle Milton Mouse with his family and her grandparents Marvel Mouse and Matilda Mouse. Her best-known relatives, remain her uncle Mortimer Mouse and her twin nieces and Melody Mouse, though most a single niece, appears. In many appearances, Minnie is presented as the girlfriend of Mickey Mouse, a close friend of Daisy Duck, a friend to Clarabelle Cow. On January 22, 2018, she joined the ranks of other animated celebrities by receiving her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Minnie was created to be the love interest of Mickey Mouse.

Minnie was designed in the fashion of a flapper girl. Her main outfit consisted of a short flapper girl dress that revealed her distinctive patched knickers. In the 1929 cartoon The Karnival Kid, it was revealed that she wears black stockings which were fashionable among flapper girls, her shoes are her most distinctive article of clothing. For comedic effect, she wears oversized high heeled pumps, her heels slip out of her shoes, she loses her shoes in The Gallopin' Gaucho. When she walked or danced, the clip clop of her large pumps was heard and went with the rhythm of the music, played in the background. Along with Mickey, she was redesigned in 1940, her hat was replaced with a large bow, bows were added to her shoes as well. Her eyes were given more detail. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, her look and personality became more conservative. Minnie always wears red or pink, but in her early appearances, she could be seen wearing a combination of blue, black or green. Minnie's early personality is cute, playful and flirtatious.

She portrays an entertainer like a dancer or a musician whose affection Mickey is trying to win. Part of the comedy of these early shorts is the varying degree of success Mickey has in wooing Minnie. Unlike cartoons after the redesign, Minnie becomes a damsel in distress whom Mickey tries to rescue, she is subject to a lot of slapstick and rubber hose animation gags. Over the course of the 1930s, Minnie's and Mickey's relationship solidified and they became a steady couple. Minnie was first seen in a test screening of the cartoon short Plane Crazy. Minnie is invited to join Mickey in the first flight of his aircraft, she accepts the invitation but not his request for a kiss in mid-flight. Mickey forces Minnie into a kiss but this only results in her parachuting out of the plane; this first film depicted Minnie as somewhat resistant to the demanding affection of her potential boyfriend and capable of escaping his grasp. Their debut, featured the couple familiar to each other; the next film featuring them was The Gallopin' Gaucho.

The film was the second of their series to be produced, but the third to be released, was released on December 30, 1928. We find Minnie employed at the Cantina Argentina, a bar and restaurant established in the Pampas of Argentina, she performs the Tango for Black Pete the outlaw. Both flirt with her but the latter intends to abduct her while the former obliges in saving the Damsel in Distress from the villain. All three characters acted as strangers first being introduced to each other, but it was their third cartoon that established the definitive early look and personality of both Mickey and Minnie, as well as Pete. Steamboat Willie, was the third short of the series to be produced but released first on November 18, 1928. Pete was featured as the Captain of the steamboat, Mickey as a crew of one and Minnie as their single passenger; the two anthropomorphic mice first star in a sound film and spend most of its duration playing music to the tune of "Turkey in the Straw". Her next appearance was arguably more significant.

Mickey's Follies, featured the first performance of the song "Minnie's Yoo-Hoo". "The guy they call little Mickey Mouse" for the first time addresses an audience to explain that he has "got a sweetie", "neither fat nor skinny" and proudly proclaims that "she's my little Minnie Mouse". Mickey proceeds to explain his reaction to Minnie's call; the song establishes Mickey and Minnie as a couple and expresses the importance Minnie holds for her male partner. Her final appearance for the year was in Wild Waves, carried by a wave into the sea, she seems to start drowning. Mickey uses a row boat to rescue her and return her to the shore but Minnie is still visibly shaken from the experience. Mickey starts singing the tune of "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep", a maritime ballad, in an apparent effort to cheer her up. Minnie cheers up and the short ends; this is the second time Minnie is placed in danger and saved by her new boyfriend. It would not be the last. In fact, this was the case with her next appearance in The Cactus Kid.

As the title implies the short was intended as a Western movie parody, but it is considered to be more or less a remake of The Gallopin' Gaucho set in Mexico instead of Argentina. Minnie was again cast as th
