Mickey Mouse Ears began their long history as a Disney favorite in the 1950′s when the Mickey Mouse Club aired on television. With the Mouseketeers wearing them throughout each show, the hats became something young children and adults dreamed about wearing. The original felt hat featured two large plastic ears, so you looked just like Mickey Mouse. The creator of these ears was Roy Williams, an adult Mousketeer on the Mickey Mouse Club. He was inspired by the 1929 short The Karnival Kid, featuring a scene where Mickey tipped his ears to Minnie. Many years later, the first wearable Mickey Mouse Ears were born.
