Will we ever get another Mickey Mouse movie ever again? What would you want out of a Mickey movie? Why doesnโ€™t Disney ever seem to do much with their own masoct these days?

Fear of tarnishing his image.

We've NEVER gotten an actual Mickey Mouse movie in the first place. The only movie length Mickey production is Three Musketeers and as the title shows its Three Musketeers. It's not about Mickey in his original universe.

And Mickey will never a movie not even when he's a hundred years old because the character is cemented as a mascot. You can't do anything with him since his time has passed. Even Woody Woodpecker got a theatrical movie. Spongebob got a few theatrical movies. Tom and Jerry also got a few theatrical movies. And what else is there to say? Even Felix the Cat who is a failure got a theatrical movie. If Mickey never got one while his rivals did its game over for Mickey.

And the big problem is many of Mickey's major productions are all Mickey riding on the coattails of famous pre existent stories. Like Mickey and the Beanstalk which is Jack and the Beanstalk. Then you have Prince and Pauper. And the already mentioned Three Muskeeteers. A big issue with Mickey is what would you even do with Mickey Mouse for a theatrical movie? Lots of people end up blanking here. Mickey Mouse has nothing to him that would amuse audiences.

I think Mickey Mouse peaked as a character not in animation but in video games like Mousecapes, Magical Quest Trilogy, and Mickey Mania. That was the last time Mickey was given serious treatment. Not going to count Epic Mickey which is a failure and Kingdom Hearts because Mickey is a glorified cameo in those games. Mickey has been rendered as a nothing from yesteryear and no one cares for him anymore. The Rudish shorts came and went.

Disney's true mascot is Stitch. Stitch sells more merchandise than Mickey and Stitch does get a lot of usage like with many reboots. Being a chaotic gremlin is a draw for many audiences. The only character Stitch sells less than is Elsa from Frozen.

Well, the character is public domain. It's all a matter of time.

The only incarnation of Mickey that people worldwide recognize is flesh face color Mickey Mouse aka >>149284563

Until that design is public domain nothing serious will get made. So you're all waiting like eleven more years.
