What were the first words Mickey Mouse ever spoke?
“Oh boy!”
“Hot dogs!”
“Hello, folks!”
“Steamboat Willie!”
Mickey Mouse spoke his first words in the 1929 short “The Karnival Kid.” His first words marked a significant milestone as this was the first time audiences heard Mickey’s voice. Prior to this, Mickey had appeared in silent films, relying on physical comedy and expressions to convey his character. He must’ve built up a real appetite over the years because the first words out of his mouth were “hot dogs” — uttered while selling hot dogs at a carnival. The phrase “Hot dog!” has since become one of Mickey’s signature expressions.
Correct Answer: “Hot dogs!”
