Best Answer

Walt Disney himself was the first Disney character to appear on TV... if you don't count him as a character, then your answer is Mickey Mouse.

The first Disney TV show was titled The Disneyland Story (later changed to Disneyland, then Walt Disney Presents, and later The Wonderful World of Color and the Wonderful World of Disney) which premiered in October 1954. The show was hosted by Disney, so he was the first to be featured on the first Disney TV show. Later in the episode, he introduces the first fictional Disney character to appear on TV, saying "Our only hope is we never lose sight of one thing: that it was all started by a mouse. Now, that is why I want this part of the show to belong to Mickey, because the story of Mickey is truly the real beginning of Disneyland."

The first Disney character introduced ever was Little Red Riding Hood, in July 1922, but this was in theaters, not TV.

Mickey Mouse, in Steamboat Willie, was the first character to feature synchronized sound, in November 18 of 1928 (recognized as Mickey's birthday). Again, this was in theaters, not television. Mickey was first introduced in March 1928, with Minnie Mouse, in Plane Crazy.
