Welcome to the 30 day challenge of April, which is going to be all about Disney properties. There is a lot of acquisitions under the Disney Company umbrella at this point, but the focus here is going to be on the animated properties produced under the Disney/Pixar labels proper – there’ll be plenty of other chances to discuss Marvel and Star Wars.

To start us off, today we’re gonna discuss the face of the company itself: Mickey Mouse. Despite having many cartoons and video game appearances under his belt Mickey is probably more known now as simply an icon, for better and for worse. So tell us, what do you think of Mickey Mouse – both as a symbol, but also as simply a character? What do you associate him with?

Bonus prompt: What are your favorite/least favorite things featuring Mickey?

Bonus prompt rerelease: If Mickey were to have more personality, what should it even be?

TOMORROW: Donald Duck
