Walt’s Mickey is wrong. Original does not mean the best.
Not to mention Mickey Mouse was actually created as a replacement for Oswald The Lucky Rabbit. Heck most of the jokes from old Mickey cartoons were actually reused from the Walt era Oswald cartoons. I'm shocked Oswald hasn't gotten his own collection on Disney+ yet. Especially since some of his cartoons that were previously lost just got discovered in recent years.
It's not just references to Disney Parks, but also featured references and cameos from Disney's past (including obscure references).I watched the full ride through, and to me this is by far the most interesting, seemingly fun, repeatable attraction they’ve added to the parks for a long time. I’m actually looking forward to riding this some day.
I also actually like the new Mickey shorts. The style doesn’t bother me and from the few I’ve seen, they have a lot of fun references to the parks etc.
Ughhhhh, being positive is sooooo draining.
Mickey Mouse is also trademarked and those don’t expire. Others may be able to resell Steamboat Willie but they would not necessarily be able to create their own Mickey Mouse content. The US is also party to a number of IPR agreements that would complicate another unpopular extension.
I'm just surprised I haven't seen people pointing out that the number one complaint for both MMRR and Galaxy's Edge is that they used the current iteration of characters that are far less popular-seeming than the classically-loved versions of the characters. Whether that's Mickey & Minnie classic vs. new shorts Mickey & Minnie or Luke & Leia vs. Rey & Kylo. It's the same issue and it's curious to me that the same choice was made for the two modern major creations/additions and has had the same top reaction of: 'meh, why didn't you use the characters I loved and then I could have otherwise loved this thing that you built?' Just an observation that I've had when reading both the MMRR and GE reactions and seeing the similarity.
It can be the Disney family’s comeback
