Before Mickey Mouse, there was Oswald Rabbit.  In 1927, Oswald met the Mechanical Cow.  (Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't have to censor Clarabelle Cow because of her udders?  In any event, this mechanical cow has what appears to be non-mechanical udders.)

And, from 1913, the archvillain Fantomas appears in the French film A l'Ombre de la Guillotine (In the Shadow of the Guillotine).
