Burning question about Steamboat WIllie
Okay, so the mouse is Mickey, the girl mouse is Minnie, the cat is Pete...
...who the hell is Willie?
It's supposed to be a take off on a Buster Keaton movie called "Steamboat Bill Jr."

So I guess you could say Mickey "played" Willie.
-you know: the way Yosemite Sam played Desert Bandits and Pirates and Evil Knights
But it's also the name of the steamboat.
