12 Things You Didn't Know About Mickey Mouse

3. He Didn't Always Wear Gloves

If you look back at earlier shorts of Mickey he wasn't always wearing gloves.

The 1929 short The Opry House was actually the first time he wore the gloves to make sure that when his hands were against his body you could see them.

Ever noticed he only has four fingers? This saved time on animation so kept costs down and apparently Walt also felt 4 fingers were much more mouse like.
