@redmanlaw: Because he actually had a personality. Today, he's just a bland spokesmouse.

I’d feel better if Mickey were cast as an arsonist and wife beater with a crystal meth habit.

@Tommmcatt is hunkered down in the trenches: El Raton en "Steamboat Willie" and "Touchdown Mickey " rules in my book.

From now on, we just call him “Mike”. And he grows a porn ’stache.

Let me know if they schedule a cage match between Mickey and Daffy Duck. Otherwise, I’m not interested.

They've been trying to re-invent Mickey for a while now...there's even a contest over at Feature for the best "non-icon" Mickey...they feel he's lost his character. I have to admit, in the product I work on (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) he looks very stiff and unnatural- but hey, that's what you get when you do CG on the cheap. In related news, they just released the new Goofy "how-to" short as bonus on National Treasure II. I think you have to admit it really captures the old aesthetic, and is pretty funny to boot. Lassiter is really bringing back Feature Animation with stuff like this.

Well, it’s good to know we get *something* for turning limited copyright into an eternal corporate privilege.

Also, I think South Park covered this already – although I might buy a game where I get to pimp-slap the Jonas Brothers as The Mouse.
