In 1934, the Encyclopedia Britannica gave Mickey Mouse his own encyclopedia entry. He did, however, receive many other honors as well in later years. In 1935, the League of Nations awarded him a medal for being an ambassador of good will. He was also honored in 1935 by the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade which was led by a fifty-five foot high Mickey Mouse. And in 1978, in honor of his fiftieth anniversary, he became the first cartoon character to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
