Who was the first Disney character to speak directly to the audience?

The first Disney character to speak directly to the audience was the character of "Walt Disney" himself, who appeared in the 1950 television show "The Disneyland TV Show." However, in terms of animated characters, it was actually the character of "Cinderella" who directly addressed the audience in the 1950 film "Cinderella." This marked a notable moment in animation history as it broke the fourth wall, allowing characters to connect with viewers.
