Mickey's 60th Birthday is the 1988 television special broadcast on the Walt Disney anthology television series on November 13, 1988 on NBC. As the title suggests, it was produced for the 60th anniversary of the Mickey Mouse character. Like Who Framed Roger Rabbit (which had been recently released at the time), much of the footage featured in the film is live-action with newly-made animation (although some of the animation used for some scenes are made from existing footage). It was rebroadcast on Disney Channel Europe on November 13, 2008 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the special, as well as Mickey's 80th birthday.
