When it comes to encounters with real mice, most people aren’t exactly thrilled. Finding a mouse in your home? You can bet you’ll hear at least half a dozen friends say, “There’s never just one.” And while that’s a rather unsettling thought in the context of actual mice, cartoon mice are a different story entirely. Think Disney characters, mice on motorcycles, or even those in charming outfits—now that’s cute! They make for easy Halloween costumes and are far simpler to sketch than intricate flowers. Plus, these little fellows inspire delightful mouse coloring pages.
Usually, we like to enrich our coloring page collections with intriguing animal facts. However, this time, we’re taking a different approach. To distract our minds and avoid any mouse-related anxiety, let’s take a nostalgic stroll through the world of famous mice. While these coloring pages may not showcase iconic mice directly, they definitely evoke memories of beloved characters. After all, most people can easily recall their favorite “celebrity” dogs and cats, but outside of Mickey and Minnie, how many famous mice can you name? Your little mouse enthusiast will surely appreciate these fun coloring pages! And who knows? This trip down memory lane might spark ideas for new movies and cartoons to share with your mouse-loving child.

Mouse No. 1
This adorable character brings to mind a young version of Rizzo the Rat from the Muppets. Remember Rizzo? A street-smart rat with a New Jersey accent, he was a total scene-stealer! Fun fact: mice munch around 20 to 30 times a day! And yes, you’re likely not the only one spotting little critters in your space—over 21 million homes are invaded by mice and other tiny creatures each year!
Mouse No. 2
Despite their grand ambitions for world domination, we can’t help but root for Pinky and the Brain. This animated duo, produced by Steven Spielberg’s company, features two lab mice who always find themselves thwarted in their plans—usually by their own antics! This coloring page could resemble Pinky, the more benign of the pair. While animated mice can live for decades, real mice usually survive only about five months in the wild due to predators.
Mouse No. 3
With a mustache and aviator cap, this character might just be related to one of our all-time favorites, Monterey Jack from Rescue Rangers! As the largest and oldest member of the team, Monty is both a protector and the muscle. Unfortunately, real mice are much less charming, as they can transmit nearly 200 human diseases. (Yikes!)
Mouse No. 4
We think this little guy could easily be Remi from Disney’s Ratatouille. Though technically a rat, Remi is the cutest one we know and an exceptional chef! Did you know mice aren’t potty trained? They simply leave droppings as they roam, which can average 40 to 100 per day. So, while we love Remi, maybe not so much on the hygiene front!
Mouse No. 5
A mouse in a top hat immediately reminds us of Timothy Q. Mouse from Disney’s Dumbo. Though this classic tale centers around a flying elephant, Timothy plays a crucial role as Dumbo’s supportive friend. If you visit Disney Parks, you might catch a glimpse of him!
Mouse No. 6
This charming fellow resembles the prim and proper Stuart Little. E.B. White’s book tells the story of a boy who looks like a mouse, but we love the films that depict Stuart as an actual mouse. He embarks on thrilling adventures with his loving human family, teaching kids that love knows no bounds.
Mouse No. 7
Without her fairy godmother and her rodent friends, Cinderella would be in quite the predicament! Thanks to industrious Jaq and Gus Gus, Cinderella’s life transforms dramatically. While the Fairy Godmother gets the spotlight, we mustn’t forget about these little heroes. Did you know that the first Cinderella story dates back to the first century B.C.?
Mouse No. 8
Jerry from Tom and Jerry is undoubtedly one of the most mischievous mice around! Often overshadowed by Tom’s size, Jerry has a knack for teasing the grumpy cat. Initially named Jasper, the duo was rebranded to Tom and Jerry after a popular cocktail.
Mouse No. 9
Fievel from An American Tail is a character that brings cultural representation to the forefront. His story begins in Russia, celebrating Hanukkah, showcasing the immigrant experience. This can spark meaningful conversations about culture and diversity with young audiences.
Mouse No. 10
Chuck E. Cheese may not have his own movie, but he’s a household name! Charles Entertainment Cheese offers kids a fun-filled experience with pizza and games—sometimes even surpassing Mickey in popularity. Interestingly, Chuck’s backstory reveals he’s an orphan.
Mouse No. 11
While many view mice as pests, they are fascinating creatures. Did you know the first successful cloning of mice occurred in 1998? Their contributions have been vital in advancing scientific research, including vaccinations and in vitro fertilization.
