Frankly, a Mickey Mouse movie is what we should have gotten for the 100yr anniversary. It just needs the right story, direction and the right people in charge.
Mickey Mouse's 100th anniversary is in 2028. That is when we should get it by then! Released by Friday, November 17th of that year. Perfect timing, especially for that Thanksgiving holiday season.
I think it could work IF worked on by the right people who know the character and universe well and Disney executives step aside from the creative process.
I have an idea! Villainous feline cat, Peg Leg Pete, grabs The Magical Wishing Star. So, it is up for Mickey and his friends to stop Pete from destroying The Kingdom Castle by taking over the world.
This could also be a creatively fun bonus! As a power-up, every time that Pete uses The Star towards his advantage, the character's styles change as they go through every single Mickey Mouse cartoon.
@@stopdisney It was in a review of Wish by Possum Reviews. It’s called “Wish: the Failure Disney Deserves”, he proposes the rewrite in the last segment of the video.
I would LOVE a Mickey and Oswald movie similar to Epic Mickey. To bring back forgotten OG characters for a new generation could be something that not only gets butts into theaters, but could be an attempt by Disney to restore their brand. A lot character growth on both sides as Walt's "children" and little brother v. big brother dynamic could be great. It's up to the execs to even allow this.
It'd be a passion project more than anything. I think the best way to do it would be similar to Epic Mickey or Kindom Hearts: an amazing fantasy story with lots of references.
Funny you say that, because the director of the Epic Mickey games, Warren Spector did want to do an animated film adapting the first game. He commissioned the animation team that made the game’s cutscenes to make a pitch trailer to show to Disney but Disney said no.
To be honest I'm surprised Disney never really made a Mickey movie for theaters because I think it could work considering Mickey's history and its also surprising to me that Donald(technically) and Goofy got movies before Mickey
Would be win to disney, because, with Mickey being it's most famous character, and one of the most regonized pop culture characters, it would be a success, as Mario or Barbie, but also it needs to be a movie that knows how to adaptate the character to the big screen
@@lessismore8533 Not exactly, because Fantasia was a combination of various shorts with music, one having Mickey as the main character, but as he isn't the Main character of the movie or appear most of the time in the film, can't be considered a Mickey Movie, it's just a movie where Mickey made his appearence
Honestly, in my opinion, they should've made an Epic Mickey movie. I think the idea of an adventure fantasy, with a bit of an edge to it has potential for a fun and enjoyable movie, also it could be a nice introduction to newcomers and fans of the game. Idk, that's just my opinion.
@@TyshawnRobinson-z7c Just for cheap shock value, but like someone once said, even bad advertising is still advertising, so that shock value will give its creators their 15 minutes of fame, and then fade into irrelevance, like the Winnke Pooh horror film
Well, the movie Mickey's Mouse Trap is already in production, so it's kinda already happening... I mean, it's not the real Mickey Mouse, but it's still a movie with a mouse with the same name. Even if it will probably be a train wreck.
@@lessismore8533 The original version in the Steamboat Willy short is already called Mickey Mouse, so you can use it with that name, as the public domain comes with it. The only thing you cannot use is the modern version of the character Disney uses today. So no red shorts and no gloves. Although I don't think you can directly use the name Mickey Mouse. But just Mickey should be fine.
They NEED to do "The Search for Mickey Mouse"movie for the 100th anniversary of Mickey Mouse. Come on Disney, you still have 4 years to do the movie for 2028 YOU CAN DO SOMETHING RIGHT
I have this idea in my head for a Steamboat Willie musical, one that would be similar to the Spongebob musical where it would be human actors but with the features of their animated counterparts incorporated into their costumes. Maybe the story can revolve around a worker on a steamboat with a penchant for music(Mickey), batting heads with his grumpy boss(Pete). Minnie would be the love interest obviously and there'd have to be some new characters added to make up the rest of the ship crew since we can't use Donald or Goofy. Instead of using the animals as instruments, this new version of Mickey would use random objects to play for the animals and his coworkers, which Pete doesn't approve of.
I think it could work with the right script, there were flashes of character development when Mickey was looking up in reverence at Walt’s portrait in Once Upon A Studio, so there’s definitely something there that’s worth exploring. Unlike say Bugs Bunny for example, Mickey’s a bit of a blank slate so you can practically do anything with him, he could be more zany and over-the-top like in the recent Mickey Mouse Shorts or he could be more heart-tugging and earnest like in the aforementioned OUAS, maybe you can fuse a bit of both sides into him in a feature length film to make his character more well-rounded. You could potentially have something on the same level as the Super Mario Bros. Movie from last year if you’re just going to make a feature length advertisement, or maybe even better than that if the corporation can get out of the creatives’ way for once.
@@yosefdemby8792I'm not a bugs bunny fan but he very clearly has a set personality, being a trickster, quick witted, lustful, but cool and collected. It's why he works so well going up against a variety of villains in his shorts, compared to Mickey, Mickey has no set personality besides a happy mouse
@@wallylimwicks4534 Mickey used to have a personality. He used to be adventurous, resourceful, plucky, even feisty and mischievous at times. Alas, as he grew in global popularity, he was stripped away of a lot of his personality and became little more than a cipher, a symbol.
As far as I think The Walt Disney Company is concerned no, they cannot and should not just let random people do *anything* with their most classic and iconic animated characters. What Walt and his animators had established and set in motion for these characters within the company is the template that anyone should be following after and keeping consistent with when wanting to do anything new with them in animation within the company today.
I imagine a Mickey feature film would be something similar to the Spongebob Squarepants movie, having Mickey go on a journey that maybe explores his past roles. It could focus more on Mickey's friends instead of the whole studio or maybe have it be that Mickey feels more like a mascot than an actaul character. Maybe have Oswald come in and help him out. It could be a proper tribute to an icon like Mickey.
Yeah! I also had a bit of a similar idea with a feature about Mickey basically being an entertainer but starting to feel burnt out and stuck to fit into a mold by others.
Honestly for it to work it'll need to be a passion project just like Once upon a Studio, or else it'll prolly feel like a thrown out soulless cash grab like Wish and Frozen II. I think it'll also have to be based on either an existing short (like Steamboat Willie or the Sorcerer's Apprentice) an existing property (Epic Mickey, Kingdom Hearts, the Wizards of Mickey comic strip), or a well-known fairytale. Heck I still feel like they could do the Search for Mickey Mouse since now there's more of an interest with crossovers with the Disney film catalog after Once Upon a Studio.
If they do make a movie they should do what the Wonderful World of Micky Mouse do right make Micky Mouse a character, not a brand nor a product or an House of Mouse Mouse but you do what the once upon a studio did with 3D 2D Animated Characters ❤ PS I had an unhealthy obsession with the 3 Micky Donald and Goofy Musketeers
I honestly think go really do a 100 year film is to take heavy importation off of Epic Mickey, it was a success and everyone has since been invested on the dynamic of Mickey and Oswald
I think a Mickey Mouse movie adapting some of the events of the Floyd Gottfredson comics would go insanely hard. I’m not sure if Disney would be fine with depicting Mickey holding pistols and crap but it would be so cool.
MY MAN! That would be a dream. Imagine also a movie based on Carl Barks works or even Don Rosa!!! A movie based on the life and times of Scrooge McDuck, how cool that would be...
@@tiziod5066 Yeah the Disney comics are a treasure trove of good stories for these characters. I especially think the life and times of Scrooge McDuck could work really well as a mini-series. Just 12 episodes, one based on each chapter. But the Don Rosa and Carl Barks stories are perfect if Disney ever got the guts to make a Donald Duck movie.
I wanna share an idea I have here, since I don't know if I'll ever realize it: For a while, I thought of what Wish would look like if the Star was the main character instead of Asha (he WAS the best part after all) After seeing cutscenes from Illusion Island, I wonder... what if MICKEY was the main character, and had Minnie, Donald, and Goofy by his side? In studying magic, he could be helping a young Star, training it to grant wishes, until one day, the Star hears a wish coming from Rosas. Other stars panic, as its King Magnefico is a magic hoarder... no magic he hasn't cast has ever gone in or out of the kingdom, and ALL wishes are under his lock and key. That prompts Mickey and friends to go rescue Star, even meeting a modern version of the Blue Fairy in the process and helping Asha protect/save/free the wishes. Not sure how the rest would go, but Mickey for sure would go full magician mode towards the end and unleash a Disney reference palooza upon Magnefico's backside, maybe even wielding the ever iconic keyblade 🤷♂️ I dunno, just something that's been on my mind for a while 😅
I think they should used Epic Mickey plot for movie , that game plot was fantastic and make old legacy like Oswald the lucky rabbit and mickey look amazing.
I would actually love to see a Mickey Mouse movie based on the works of Floyd Gottfredson. There are some great stories from the comics he made that could be adapted into a feature lenght movie!
I always swore I could remember hearing years ago when they released the Runaway Brain short that Disney wanted it to be a testing ground of sorts as a possible concept for a full-length movie. Even if that were all just a false memory on my part it's obvious that nothing ever came out of it, especially with the short itself garnering more controversy than Disney would have expected with its depiction of an "Evil Mickey" enough for them to downplay the short's existence over the years since. As it stands one of the closest things we've ever gotten to a full-length animated movie for Mickey was that direct-to-video Three Musketeers movie. Arguably his most iconic role in a Disney movie is still as The Sorcerer's Apprentice in Fantasia, though despite always being the biggest highlight of the original Fantasia is was still only one segment in a film made up of many different musical segments.
Disney could release a cartoon series in 1930s style with stories , that were drawn in comic books. The comic books tell more and more about Mickey and his friends characteristics, even firthe characters like Horace Horsecollar , that is extremely unpopular but was almost a major character in the old comics. This is where Phantom Blot originated from , and became a good villain in the House of Moyse series.
It would be hard to make a Mickey Mouse movie work but I don't doubt it is possible. Far from it really, he does have a lot of potential as a character, even in self contained stories. One of the first ideas I could think of for a potential movie is Mickey Mouse basically getting a burnout, having spread a lot of joy over the years to others but finding it harder to find joy in doing so himself. If such a movie could perhaps depict Mickey as kind of an entertainer I could see that work. We've already seen that in stuff like House of Mouse after all. Whether it'd be internal conflicts like wanting to try something else, external conflicts like outside interference like studios demanding he fits into the same mold all the time, I feel like there's good potential in this for a story about Mickey and his friends trying to find that spark to enjoy making others happy again.
I think that if a Mickey movie should come out, it has to be a "comics Mickey" movie. As a cartoon character, besides meta-stories like Epic Mickey, he dosen't have that much lore screenwirters could develop. But for "comic Mickey" it's another story. He have very dark story with iconic bad guys such as Phantom Blot, or a guy known in the "land of baguette and cheese" (France) as "oscar rapace". Even Eega Beeva could be an interesting character to developp in a movie and, as the Mickey Comics are well known internationaly, putting them on the grand screen should be a good idea, and the money wold flow. "Comic Mickey" as a character is close to the W.D mascott possible, but he deals with adult problem and crimes. He is a good harted hero, but also an adult. A movie sharing this Mikey could be a very good idea. Or just do an Epic Mickey movie, that would be a wonderful move to make
I love Mickey and I think people would definitely enjoy a movie about him or with him as the main character. As long as they don't try to make him too "modern" and stay true to his character.(basically don't turn him into a jerk in a feeble attempt to make him more relatable)They should definitely focus on the story telling and world building. And it should be a fantasy world, without reference to our real world. Also I think a totally original adventure would be better than having him interact in other Disney stories ...and idk why but I feel like that's the lazy direction they would go in. Like they'd try to have him running around with other famous characters from outside his world like some really long episode of The House of Mouse. 😂
I think a Sorcerer's Apprentice movie or Epic Mickey movie could work, but he's almost better off playing parts like Mickey and the Beanstalk or the Prince and the Pauper. We don't really need any kind of an origin story, and tbh, he's not as interesting a personality as Donald or Goofy or even Jiminy Cricket.
I'm a huge Mickey Mouse fan and know a lot about his history and his friends. I think a Mickey Mouse movie could work as long as the team knows about each character's personality and his universe. Though, it shouldn't focus on the cartoons. It should focus more on the comics. Hes more adventurous in the comics than cartoons nowadays.
"Once Upon a Studio" I consider the TRUE 100th year celebration. A less popular opinion might be that I LOVED Get a Horse, but didn't like Frozen. To me Mario and Mickey are one and the same: simple blank slate characters you're meant to project onto, plus being somewhat small and diminutive so you root for them when the face oppostion: AND generally need threats and danger foisted on them to be entertaining. In a way, Mickey CAN do things Donald and Goofy couldn't, in the sense both could blunder normal situations and make them entertaining, whereas Mickey was sensible and moderate enough in temperament he could get out of true peril. This works better in a video game like Mario's where it's more about playing the game then any character story.
I would love to see a movie based on Oswald, and how he became forgottend and ended in the Wasteland. Also, how he met Ortensia and how the two became the king and queen.
Mickey, as the character he is right now, would need to work like how paddington bear worked in his movie. Hes too much of a paragon character like superman, where he cant make too many mistakes unless thyre harmless. Now, as his older versions when he was more mischevious, 100% they could make a movie about him doing something he can think was harmless fun, but actually turn out to be horrendous and having to fix it. Otherwise, i doubt it
Mickey as character that easy to understand. Maybe if we put him in an adventure story, with the steamboat willie cast Ala indiana jones or tintin. Where mickey is aboard the steamboat and goes on some crazy adventure
I would really like a new Mickey Mouse movie, something like I also liked his animated shorts Halloween Horror Story and Donald Celebrates the Holidays that seemed more like a movie.. I really loved his movies as a child: the 3 Musketeers, the Prince and the pauper and Christmas, of course
I will say, it is probably easier to make a Donald Duck movie than a Mickey Mouse movie. The main reason I suggest this is because of the Donald Duck comics. These are relatively unknown in the US but very VERY popular in much of Europe, and famous Donald comic artists like Don Rosa or Carl Barks (the creator of Scrooge McDuck who even made his way into Once upon a studio) have plenty of stories ripe for adaptation, either as features or a miniseries of long form featurettes. One which I think could work pretty well is the comic story about square eggs, but of course there are LOADS of stories. Honestly I could also really see The life and times of Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa be adapted into a miniseries. Point is for the duck characters, there is PLENTY of stuff to pull from. Some of which has already been adapted somewhat in the Ducktales series, but a lot of which is still out there.
Have you seen when the low budget Mickey mouse horror movie went 1923 Mickey mouse was in the public domain just like when original pooh turned into a horror pooh.
Really I think Runaway Brain worked in terms of 'darkness' because that was the whole joke, the contrast of the super squeaky clean and chipper Mickey being placed in a cartoon horror story. I tend to think what ruined Mickey in his later years was not him becoming a nicer character but nothing really challenging it anymore, Pluto and Donald became the fall guys while Mickey just fell out of focus, he's not as interesting unless things are working against his jovial nice guy attitude. The Ruddish shorts got that too.
I think it could work if they acknowledged characters not really in use today like Mortimer mouse and Oswald the lucky rabbit in the movie in some way for example cause it could lean on the company’s history to build the movie’s world but it would need the right script to make it work
Well, it could work. It just takes a lot of time and a lot of patience. It takes a lot of dedication and if they don't have that drive that is needed to make one work then it won't.
A Donald Duck family movie based on the comics would be better imo. Please Disney, just give us a Scrooge McDuck origin movie or smth. I’d definitely gonna watch it
@Aldone As someone who doesn’t normally watch your videos, I want to say that there is tons of potential for a feature length Mickey Mouse project, that being if it can blow our minds in showing the mouse as a genuine character.
If Disney were to make a Mickey Mouse movie, it should be like Mario Bros Wonder, with mo existing deadline, and just being revealed to the public when the time is right, instead of a rushed product existing to only fullfill a holiday release
I truly think Epic Mickey would be a great blueprint for a proper Mickey Mouse movie. It could be reconstructed into a Mickey origin movie as he was a hapless mouse that was discovered by Disney via a train ride. It would then go into the epic Mickey opening sequence and we get a story of a Mickey Mouse who is a star and has been through a lot over the years. However, he also has a harsh lesson about the legacy that he has and the company that he played within. He then gets a renewed sense of understanding his own role in the Disney legacy and an understanding that everyone deserves a chance or two in the spotlight. That would be a good movie for Mickey.
I personally think that there should be a Disney movie about Yen Sid. Yen Sid is "Disney" spelled backwards. Yen Sid was based on Walt Disney himself. Heck in that Once Upon a Studio short when Mickey looked at the picture of Walt Disney, i feel Yen Sid's Spirit should have popped up.
There was a game called Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, which is the third part of the Epic Mickey series, but only for the Nintendo 3DS. It is about Mickey, who entered a magical castle that was ruled by an evil sorceress who captured Minnie and even all the Disney characters (from Snow White to Rapunzel) and must enter each world to save them. Seems like an interesting premise for a Mickey Mouse movie. Unfortunately, like The Runaway Brain, the game received mixed reviews and flopped in the series. The main reason is due to the lack of levels and boss fights. The only worlds you can enter are Neverland, Agrabah, and Atlantica. The last one is the most difficult of all. It was also a waste of opportunity, as there was concept art of Mickey taking on Monstro the whale from Pinocchio, in the Atlantica level.
I'm genuinely surprised that Walt Disney Animation Studios hasn't made a proper Mickey Mouse movie yet. Seriously, it's the most obvious thing they could do, but... no? And I'm not counting Fantasia and Fun & Fancy Free here, since Mickey wasn't present throughout the entirety of those films, just specific segments. Now, maybe if Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers didn't go direct-to-video we would've gotten a feature length theatrical Mickey flick, but guess not. Shame really, as alongside Animaniacs: Wakko's Wish, I feel that deserved its own run in the cinema.
I've said thid before but, the Mickeyverse is a goldmine. I don't want another MCU style Cinematic Universe, but like, the Mickey Comics like X-Mickey, Mickey Mouse 2015 HECK there was a comic where everyone EXCEPT Mickey and Minnie got powers, and they weren't childish and plain they were well written. The Duck Avenger, Darkwing Duck, Scrooge and DuckTales, Goof Troop, Quack Pack, House of Mouse and Mickey Mouse works the sensational six are a truly great band of characters, and their universe is huge and amazing. Also, I kept hearing smth that kinda, lowkey represents a problem in storytelling now-a-days. The "character arc" syndrome, where it seems every character has to start out with a fatal flaw that gets developed and changed throughout the movie. Mickey and friends don't need that. Mickey stories can have arcs, but it really shines when showing how the characters interact. Before the pre-school era, The sensational six had wild personalities that kept bouncing off of each other, and in the other 'Mickeyverse' shows as well, Scrooge Mcduck, The triplets, heck Max Goof has his own shtick. They're like fleshed out stereotypes. We don't need a grand adventure film, all we need is a show staying true to these characters and what they represent. And it can still have dark themes, I recall one quack pack episode going DEEP into faith and religion, using Aliens as a placeholder. The characters dont need huge arcs, they need to experience stuff and have us watch how their respective characters struggle with each experience. But if they ever do make Mickey Mouse movies, they'll probably cppy marvel. Seeing how big this universe is, they won't pass up the chance.
This, but it would be better to just start with separate things and only then do it as a whole universe. By the way, it's not called the Mickeyverse, it's the Mouseverse, and the Donald Duck universe is called the Duckverse. It would be good to make movies and series based on many Disney comics, but the problem is that Disney has some intolerance towards comics. Mickey would have a big advantage if a series was made about Detective Mickey and Donald about Duck Avenger or Double Duck or Goofy about Super Goof. Scrooge could get a movie or series based on The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa. And we should not forget the Three Caballeros who are part of Donald's universe. I certainly agree with what you said.
I have an Idea for a premise; Movie name: Disney World Tour! Premise: At the Walt Disney Animation studios after they close for the day. All the characters from every Disney movie come to life to throw Mickey Mouse a spectacular birthday party for him. As his girlfriend Minnie Oversees the preparation for the party and dealing with the other characters shenanigans, she notices Mickey is nowhere to be seen in the studio, she goes to thier portrait to find part of the pocture has been cut from the frame. Mickey had been kidnapped! So, with the help of Goofy, Donald and a handful of other favorite Characters travel beyond the studio and into the real world in a race against the clock to save Mickey from this mysterious villain and bring him back home before the Studio reopens!
I wouldn't be surprised if they don't end up doing a Mickey Mouse Movie even with the perfect opportunity of Mickey's 100th birthday I think they will do a short, but a whole movie don't get your hopes up.
Haven't watch the video yet by my answer to the title of the video is: YESSS, I WANT ONE BUT MAKE IT GOOD (Like the Mickey from Once Upon a Studio is nicely done, surely they can do it again)
A different video reviewing Wish actually had an amazing idea for a centennial celebration. It was basically taking the movie of the first Fantasia with Sorcerer Mickey and how he became that, filled with different elements from other Disney movies without making it too much on the nose. Your talk about the Search for Mickey (which definitely should’ve been made) reminded me of the deleted Princess Academy movie which all Disney female protagonists got to interact with official Disney Princesses. Its a shame it got scrapped, considering characters from Pixar like Jessie and Bo Peep were planned to be included too. Imo, Wish was more of a disappointment than anything. I seriously don’t know what the heck Disney was thinking when they scrapped Star boy being Asha’s love interest or especially having BOTH Magnifico and Amaya as an evil Disney couple. But the biggest missed opportunity for this movie was simply the fact Disney didn’t ask Alan Menken to compose the soundtrack, considering how many Disney movies he was involved with and was a major reason why the Renaissance worked. Instead, we get stuck with someone who’s used to pop music and not musical theater or Broadway style music. And I felt the entire thing of giving up your wish made absolutely no sense if you immediately forget what it was anyway. And its clear the citizens are happy and basically worship their king, they don’t seem empty or unhappy without their wishes (not counting Simon’s changed attitude) Like, why have a wish or dream if you’re just going to forget about it anyway? Yes, I actually had Mickey’s Christmas Carol and the Prince and the Pauper on VHS as a kid! I never realized they were more episode lengthed movies and not full length movies like the others.
There’s also a discussion Disney+ has been harming themselves because at this point, casual audiences know they can just wait 2-4 months for whatever movies they release in theaters to be on Disney+ later instead. Also doesn’t help that in a post pandemic world combined with the prices of movie tickets being at a all-time high, as far as movie theaters are concerned people are finally now voting with their wallets to see which expensive (both from the studios and audiences perspective) are worth watching.
A Mickey Mouse feature film 100% could and should work, and if you don't believe me, take a look at the Mickey Mouse Comic Strip by Floyd Gottfredson, the best stories ever told with that character comes from there, if you need a sample, volume 6 of the hardcover series collecting the strips is a great showcase of all the best aspects of his adventures. Drawing elements from that stories would make for a good comedy adventure, not unlike Indiana jones, and including other appearences of Mickey Mouse in comics the character has 94 years worth of stories to pull from or adapt. An interesting thing to note is that at one point there WAS going to be a Mickey film, in the 1940s where Mick, Goofy, and Donald join up with a retired parrot belonging to a pirate in order to find buried gold, while Pete tried to steal the treasure from them. World War 2, like so many of Disney's projects, caused the film to be shelved as the studio focused on cheaper productions, however the plot was reworked for a comic book called "Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold" which replaces Mick and Goof with Huey Dewy and Louie. The storyline was scaled back, there gonna be comedic ghosts in the movie, in the comic Pete disguises himself as one. The movie would've ended with Mick and Pete fighting atop an active volcano, the comic just has Pete knocked out by a coconut. The story was Donald's first original comic book, not reprinted from his daily or sunday strip.
I think an Epic Mickey film could’ve really worked, even if it was direct to video/ streaming. Sometimes I don’t think Disney knows how good of a franchise that is. It has limitless potential, nostalgia built in, and maybe one of the best versions of Mickey Mouse the studio has ever come out with
Before 2010's Tangled, Disney was original plan for their 50th movie was suppsed to be Mickey's friends going through all of the studio's films up to that point , however it was scrapped. Maybe in 2028 they would attempt it again for the character's 100 Anniversary
@@rigboy1234 I never stated it's gonna be good. In fact, that whole Search for Mickey film was a vad idea to begin with and was definitely was a right call for producing a good movie liked Tangled instead.
Guess that's just another thing that Tangled got in the way of, like Princess and the Frog's ambitions to try and help bring hand-drawn animation *back* to the Walt Disney Animation Studio only for Tangled to undo that too.
If they pull the same kind of emotion as they did with Goofy and Donald Duck then yes. The problem is that they were not bonafide succeses. Cult classics maybe but not box office smashes like Frozen.
A movie about Mickey would be absolutely fantastic! If written well, It would finally allow people to see him with more personality, rather than seeing him as the happy-go-lucky mascot. Mickey used to be mischievous, charming, crafty, witty, intelligent, loving, wholesome, and fun… over time it all got watered down by people who didn’t know how to use him. But they finally found a team of writers who knew how to embrace his OG quirks when they started releasing the Mickey Mouse shorts from 2013-2023. Mickey was so full of life and personality in that series! If they brought those writers into it (and brought back the extremely talented/charming Chris Diamantopoulos to voice him again), I think they’d have something really special on their hands. Donald’s (technically) had Ducktales, Goofy’s had the Goofy movies, Mickey and Minnie need their own outlet to shine.
For my Mickey Mouse cast I pick… Chris Diamantopoulos as Mickey Mouse Don Cheadle as Donald Duck Brock Baker as Goofy John Mulaney as Chip Andy Samberg as Dale Shamon Brown Jr. as Max Goof David Tenant as Scrooge McDuck Will Forte as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Frank Welker as Pluto Brian Hull as Willie the Giant Emma Stone as Minnie Mouse Jim Cummings as Pete And Circely Strong as Mizabrel. Oh, and Alan Tudyk voices Yen Sid.
In 2028 Mickey Mouse will celebrate his 100th birthday and it will be the perfect time for a his own movie and since Disney will go back to hand-drawn it's a movie that they have to get started I heard rumors about the directors of Once Upon a studio to have full-length directorial debut as well as Richard Sherman and Alan Menken compose the music
Would be intresting if the studio made an animated biopic on Walt Disney himself. It would be a more mature movie since things like the world wars, poverty and other stuff happened during Walt's lifetime. But would be great.
For Disney's 100th anniversary, a Mickey Mouse movie would absolutely have been a better idea than Wish. The only tough part is that, for a MM movie to work, Disney would have to show other sides of MM. They'd have to show moments of emotional struggle, and they'd have to show that MM isn't always a smiley, happy-go-lucky mouse and that he's not always a perfect role model. I mean, it's pretty hard to set up any sort of conflict (the core part of a story) without the protagonist experiencing negative feelings such as doubt, anger, frustration, sadness, or vulnerability. It's not impossible, though. They've managed to succeed at this task with some of the video games such as Epic Mickey or some of the shorts such as Runaway Brain. Showing other sides of MM would go a long way toward making MM feel less like a face on someone's t-shirt and more like a living, breathing character with an actual personality. There are plenty of examples of company mascots starring in successful movies, such as Mario (already mentioned in this video), Sonic the Hedgehog, or SpongeBob. If those guys can star in successful animated movies, then MM can, too. Disney's just gotta get to work on one, finally.
Funny, I watched the movie just yesterday. Watched it just because I was gonna watch Godzilla Minus One in theaters, but unfortunately all sessions expired where I live
Honestly, I would have thought that Disney would have released a Mickey Mouse movie for their 100th anniversary. But they did not... I would love a Mickey Mouse movie with Minnie Mouse and all of the other characters in it. Maybe even bring Oswald back as well. I am hoping that Disney will make a movie for these two characters someday.
Mickey Mouse movies based on Floyd Gottfredson comics would be real gold. Especially the clash with the Phantom Blot. Also an animated series about Detective Mickey would be very good to see. By the way, I would prefer a Donald Duck Movie like Goofy has his own movie. I know Donald has his own movie The Three Caballeros and it's definitely one of my favorite animated movies and it's definitely a great movie, but I wish he had his own animated movie focusing on Donald and his nephews because after all Donald is the best parent to his nephews , as depicted in the comics. This would make a good premise like a Quack Pack Movie or something. Also an animated series based on the Carl Barks and Don Rosa comics, as well as animated series related to Duck Avenger or Double Duck would be great to see. But to make it truly based on comic book material and not just references like Ducktales 2017 did (mostly poorly). Goofy could have a series related to Super Goof (shown in one episode of House of Mouse). Unfortunately, Disney has some major intolerance towards comics and I highly doubt we'll see that, but I just hope there are people who respect comic book material. Although if the movie that Warner Bros. is making about Daffy and Porky is successful, Disney will have to make an animated movie about Donald and Goofy.
I expect that at least there will be some hacks in the indie scene making a Mickey Mouse horror movie or something, just like Winnie The Pooh. Only, there will probably be even more dumb movies trying to capitalize on the Mouse.
Frankly, a Mickey Mouse movie is what we should have gotten for the 100yr anniversary.
It just needs the right story, direction and the right people in charge.
true
I agree
Didn’t they do “Fanatsia”?
Mickey Mouse's 100th anniversary is in 2028. That is when we should get it by then! Released by Friday, November 17th of that year. Perfect timing, especially for that Thanksgiving holiday season.
I think it could work IF worked on by the right people who know the character and universe well and Disney executives step aside from the creative process.
@NathanSpies Exactly💯, this is the Key!
I have an idea! Villainous feline cat, Peg Leg Pete, grabs The Magical Wishing Star. So, it is up for Mickey and his friends to stop Pete from destroying The Kingdom Castle by taking over the world.
@@jamesblier6626Peg Leg Pete actually used to be his name!
If they go the comedic route, I'd hope they did something like his shorts during the Paul Rudish era.
This could also be a creatively fun bonus! As a power-up, every time that Pete uses The Star towards his advantage, the character's styles change as they go through every single Mickey Mouse cartoon.
Someone proposed a complete rewrite of Wish with Mickey as the protagonist and it sounded like a really good concept.
where did you found it?
@@stopdisney It was in a review of Wish by Possum Reviews. It’s called “Wish: the Failure Disney Deserves”, he proposes the rewrite in the last segment of the video.
So a Wish movie with Mickey Mouse as the protagonist is basically _Sorcerer's Apprentice,_ but Yen Sid is the villain.
I would LOVE a Mickey and Oswald movie similar to Epic Mickey. To bring back forgotten OG characters for a new generation could be something that not only gets butts into theaters, but could be an attempt by Disney to restore their brand. A lot character growth on both sides as Walt's "children" and little brother v. big brother dynamic could be great. It's up to the execs to even allow this.
I would love a movie exploring more the Wasteland, maybe Oswald finally getting out
This is perfect. Oswald needs more love since he is the original Mickey Mouse
Me too, but no CGI or digital please.
It'd be a passion project more than anything. I think the best way to do it would be similar to Epic Mickey or Kindom Hearts: an amazing fantasy story with lots of references.
i would love to see sephiroth choke out donald duck on the big screen
Either one would have been a great movie
YESSSS I LOVE EPIC MICKEY!!!!! Making a movie like Epic Mickey would be so amazing.
An Epic Mickey movie would go HARD!
Funny you say that, because the director of the Epic Mickey games, Warren Spector did want to do an animated film adapting the first game. He commissioned the animation team that made the game’s cutscenes to make a pitch trailer to show to Disney but Disney said no.
To be honest I'm surprised Disney never really made a Mickey movie for theaters because I think it could work considering Mickey's history and its also surprising to me that Donald(technically) and Goofy got movies before Mickey
Would be win to disney, because, with Mickey being it's most famous character, and one of the most regonized pop culture characters, it would be a success, as Mario or Barbie, but also it needs to be a movie that knows how to adaptate the character to the big screen
Wasnt Fantasia a Mickey movie?
@@lessismore8533 Not really it was more of a short in a movie filled with other shorts
@@lessismore8533 Not exactly, because Fantasia was a combination of various shorts with music, one having Mickey as the main character, but as he isn't the Main character of the movie or appear most of the time in the film, can't be considered a Mickey Movie, it's just a movie where Mickey made his appearence
what was technically donald's movie?
Honestly, in my opinion, they should've made an Epic Mickey movie. I think the idea of an adventure fantasy, with a bit of an edge to it has potential for a fun and enjoyable movie, also it could be a nice introduction to newcomers and fans of the game. Idk, that's just my opinion.
I hope people will use Mickey Mouse in a meaningful and creative way, and not just as a character for a cheap horror movie.
Knowing the reputation modern disney has, the public domain Mickey will be used to just dunk on the evil capitalist dystopia Disney has become
Sadly that's not the case as where getting a horror game but no in game reference and a movie that has references to Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse.
@@TyshawnRobinson-z7c Just for cheap shock value, but like someone once said, even bad advertising is still advertising, so that shock value will give its creators their 15 minutes of fame, and then fade into irrelevance, like the Winnke Pooh horror film
Yeah. I really missed when Mickey was an actual character and not just the face of the company.
Imagine we get a full fledged theatrical Mickey movie by some other studio before Disney themselves produce one
Well, the movie Mickey's Mouse Trap is already in production, so it's kinda already happening...
I mean, it's not the real Mickey Mouse, but it's still a movie with a mouse with the same name. Even if it will probably be a train wreck.
I have a feeling Disney would probably get to work on a Mickey Mouse movie in response to the horror film based on Steamboat Willie...
@@_Orafu_
Yeah I know about that but in horror movies the slasher is rarely the main pov character
@@_Orafu_they can’t call it “Mickey” that’s that name is STILL trademarked by Disney
@@lessismore8533 The original version in the Steamboat Willy short is already called Mickey Mouse, so you can use it with that name, as the public domain comes with it. The only thing you cannot use is the modern version of the character Disney uses today. So no red shorts and no gloves.
Although I don't think you can directly use the name Mickey Mouse. But just Mickey should be fine.
They NEED to do "The Search for Mickey Mouse"movie for the 100th anniversary of Mickey Mouse. Come on Disney, you still have 4 years to do the movie for 2028 YOU CAN DO SOMETHING RIGHT
I have this idea in my head for a Steamboat Willie musical, one that would be similar to the Spongebob musical where it would be human actors but with the features of their animated counterparts incorporated into their costumes. Maybe the story can revolve around a worker on a steamboat with a penchant for music(Mickey), batting heads with his grumpy boss(Pete). Minnie would be the love interest obviously and there'd have to be some new characters added to make up the rest of the ship crew since we can't use Donald or Goofy. Instead of using the animals as instruments, this new version of Mickey would use random objects to play for the animals and his coworkers, which Pete doesn't approve of.
Oh, yes! That's brilliant!😊🥰
I think it could work with the right script, there were flashes of character development when Mickey was looking up in reverence at Walt’s portrait in Once Upon A Studio, so there’s definitely something there that’s worth exploring. Unlike say Bugs Bunny for example, Mickey’s a bit of a blank slate so you can practically do anything with him, he could be more zany and over-the-top like in the recent Mickey Mouse Shorts or he could be more heart-tugging and earnest like in the aforementioned OUAS, maybe you can fuse a bit of both sides into him in a feature length film to make his character more well-rounded. You could potentially have something on the same level as the Super Mario Bros. Movie from last year if you’re just going to make a feature length advertisement, or maybe even better than that if the corporation can get out of the creatives’ way for once.
How is Bugs Bunny not a blank slate?
@@yosefdemby8792I'm not a bugs bunny fan but he very clearly has a set personality, being a trickster, quick witted, lustful, but cool and collected. It's why he works so well going up against a variety of villains in his shorts, compared to Mickey, Mickey has no set personality besides a happy mouse
@@wallylimwicks4534 Mickey used to have a personality. He used to be adventurous, resourceful, plucky, even feisty and mischievous at times. Alas, as he grew in global popularity, he was stripped away of a lot of his personality and became little more than a cipher, a symbol.
Besides, no matter how set a character's personality is, once it's public domain people can do anything they want with it.
As far as I think The Walt Disney Company is concerned no, they cannot and should not just let random people do *anything* with their most classic and iconic animated characters. What Walt and his animators had established and set in motion for these characters within the company is the template that anyone should be following after and keeping consistent with when wanting to do anything new with them in animation within the company today.
I imagine a Mickey feature film would be something similar to the Spongebob Squarepants movie, having Mickey go on a journey that maybe explores his past roles. It could focus more on Mickey's friends instead of the whole studio or maybe have it be that Mickey feels more like a mascot than an actaul character. Maybe have Oswald come in and help him out. It could be a proper tribute to an icon like Mickey.
Yeah! I also had a bit of a similar idea with a feature about Mickey basically being an entertainer but starting to feel burnt out and stuck to fit into a mold by others.
Honestly for it to work it'll need to be a passion project just like Once upon a Studio, or else it'll prolly feel like a thrown out soulless cash grab like Wish and Frozen II. I think it'll also have to be based on either an existing short (like Steamboat Willie or the Sorcerer's Apprentice) an existing property (Epic Mickey, Kingdom Hearts, the Wizards of Mickey comic strip), or a well-known fairytale. Heck I still feel like they could do the Search for Mickey Mouse since now there's more of an interest with crossovers with the Disney film catalog after Once Upon a Studio.
I would personally love a muppets movie style film where it explores Mickey’s fictional journey towards fame.
If they do make a movie they should do what the Wonderful World of Micky Mouse do right make Micky Mouse a character, not a brand nor a product or an House of Mouse Mouse but you do what the once upon a studio did with 3D 2D Animated Characters ❤
PS I had an unhealthy obsession with the 3 Micky Donald and Goofy Musketeers
I honestly think go really do a 100 year film is to take heavy importation off of Epic Mickey, it was a success and everyone has since been invested on the dynamic of Mickey and Oswald
I think a Mickey Mouse movie adapting some of the events of the Floyd Gottfredson comics would go insanely hard. I’m not sure if Disney would be fine with depicting Mickey holding pistols and crap but it would be so cool.
MY MAN! That would be a dream. Imagine also a movie based on Carl Barks works or even Don Rosa!!! A movie based on the life and times of Scrooge McDuck, how cool that would be...
@@tiziod5066 a full on Scrooge movie like that would be absolutely amazing..
@@tiziod5066 Yeah the Disney comics are a treasure trove of good stories for these characters. I especially think the life and times of Scrooge McDuck could work really well as a mini-series. Just 12 episodes, one based on each chapter. But the Don Rosa and Carl Barks stories are perfect if Disney ever got the guts to make a Donald Duck movie.
@@tiziod5066 bro a scrooge mcduck movie would go crazy, so much untapped potential with that
@@Comeonfhqwhgads95 Does DuckTales the movie count? It's not based on any comic story, but it is a Scrooge focused film
I wanna share an idea I have here, since I don't know if I'll ever realize it:
For a while, I thought of what Wish would look like if the Star was the main character instead of Asha (he WAS the best part after all)
After seeing cutscenes from Illusion Island, I wonder... what if MICKEY was the main character, and had Minnie, Donald, and Goofy by his side?
In studying magic, he could be helping a young Star, training it to grant wishes, until one day, the Star hears a wish coming from Rosas. Other stars panic, as its King Magnefico is a magic hoarder... no magic he hasn't cast has ever gone in or out of the kingdom, and ALL wishes are under his lock and key. That prompts Mickey and friends to go rescue Star, even meeting a modern version of the Blue Fairy in the process and helping Asha protect/save/free the wishes.
Not sure how the rest would go, but Mickey for sure would go full magician mode towards the end and unleash a Disney reference palooza upon Magnefico's backside, maybe even wielding the ever iconic keyblade 🤷♂️
I dunno, just something that's been on my mind for a while 😅
I think they should used Epic Mickey plot for movie , that game plot was fantastic and make old legacy like Oswald the lucky rabbit and mickey look amazing.
I would actually love to see a Mickey Mouse movie based on the works of Floyd Gottfredson. There are some great stories from the comics he made that could be adapted into a feature lenght movie!
After the release of Mufasa I think we owe wish an apology
I always swore I could remember hearing years ago when they released the Runaway Brain short that Disney wanted it to be a testing ground of sorts as a possible concept for a full-length movie. Even if that were all just a false memory on my part it's obvious that nothing ever came out of it, especially with the short itself garnering more controversy than Disney would have expected with its depiction of an "Evil Mickey" enough for them to downplay the short's existence over the years since.
As it stands one of the closest things we've ever gotten to a full-length animated movie for Mickey was that direct-to-video Three Musketeers movie. Arguably his most iconic role in a Disney movie is still as The Sorcerer's Apprentice in Fantasia, though despite always being the biggest highlight of the original Fantasia is was still only one segment in a film made up of many different musical segments.
A Movie based on Epic Mickey (based, not being completely like the game, just add some lore elements here and there) would be cool tbh
I was really hoping you cover this. I suprised Disney hasnt given theyre mascot a movie in ages
Disney could release a cartoon series in 1930s style with stories , that were drawn in comic books. The comic books tell more and more about Mickey and his friends characteristics, even firthe characters like Horace Horsecollar , that is extremely unpopular but was almost a major character in the old comics. This is where Phantom Blot originated from , and became a good villain in the House of Moyse series.
It would be hard to make a Mickey Mouse movie work but I don't doubt it is possible. Far from it really, he does have a lot of potential as a character, even in self contained stories. One of the first ideas I could think of for a potential movie is Mickey Mouse basically getting a burnout, having spread a lot of joy over the years to others but finding it harder to find joy in doing so himself. If such a movie could perhaps depict Mickey as kind of an entertainer I could see that work. We've already seen that in stuff like House of Mouse after all. Whether it'd be internal conflicts like wanting to try something else, external conflicts like outside interference like studios demanding he fits into the same mold all the time, I feel like there's good potential in this for a story about Mickey and his friends trying to find that spark to enjoy making others happy again.
I think that if a Mickey movie should come out, it has to be a "comics Mickey" movie. As a cartoon character, besides meta-stories like Epic Mickey, he dosen't have that much lore screenwirters could develop. But for "comic Mickey" it's another story. He have very dark story with iconic bad guys such as Phantom Blot, or a guy known in the "land of baguette and cheese" (France) as "oscar rapace". Even Eega Beeva could be an interesting character to developp in a movie and, as the Mickey Comics are well known internationaly, putting them on the grand screen should be a good idea, and the money wold flow. "Comic Mickey" as a character is close to the W.D mascott possible, but he deals with adult problem and crimes. He is a good harted hero, but also an adult. A movie sharing this Mikey could be a very good idea. Or just do an Epic Mickey movie, that would be a wonderful move to make
It absolutely can! There are several Mickey Mouse graphic novels that could easily be adapted into great movies.
I love Mickey and I think people would definitely enjoy a movie about him or with him as the main character. As long as they don't try to make him too "modern" and stay true to his character.(basically don't turn him into a jerk in a feeble attempt to make him more relatable)They should definitely focus on the story telling and world building. And it should be a fantasy world, without reference to our real world. Also I think a totally original adventure would be better than having him interact in other Disney stories ...and idk why but I feel like that's the lazy direction they would go in. Like they'd try to have him running around with other famous characters from outside his world like some really long episode of The House of Mouse. 😂
I think a Sorcerer's Apprentice movie or Epic Mickey movie could work, but he's almost better off playing parts like Mickey and the Beanstalk or the Prince and the Pauper. We don't really need any kind of an origin story, and tbh, he's not as interesting a personality as Donald or Goofy or even Jiminy Cricket.
I'm a huge Mickey Mouse fan and know a lot about his history and his friends. I think a Mickey Mouse movie could work as long as the team knows about each character's personality and his universe. Though, it shouldn't focus on the cartoons. It should focus more on the comics. Hes more adventurous in the comics than cartoons nowadays.
"Once Upon a Studio" I consider the TRUE 100th year celebration. A less popular opinion might be that I LOVED Get a Horse, but didn't like Frozen.
To me Mario and Mickey are one and the same: simple blank slate characters you're meant to project onto, plus being somewhat small and diminutive so you root for them when the face oppostion: AND generally need threats and danger foisted on them to be entertaining. In a way, Mickey CAN do things Donald and Goofy couldn't, in the sense both could blunder normal situations and make them entertaining, whereas Mickey was sensible and moderate enough in temperament he could get out of true peril. This works better in a video game like Mario's where it's more about playing the game then any character story.
I wish Disney would make a movie about their best mascot. He deserves a theatrical movie of his own.
I would love to see a movie based on Oswald, and how he became forgottend and ended in the Wasteland.
Also, how he met Ortensia and how the two became the king and queen.
EPIC MICKEY MOVIE!!!!!!
@@morayfrye exactly.
I dreamed of that since the 1st game.
Mickey, as the character he is right now, would need to work like how paddington bear worked in his movie. Hes too much of a paragon character like superman, where he cant make too many mistakes unless thyre harmless.
Now, as his older versions when he was more mischevious, 100% they could make a movie about him doing something he can think was harmless fun, but actually turn out to be horrendous and having to fix it. Otherwise, i doubt it
Mickey as character that easy to understand. Maybe if we put him in an adventure story, with the steamboat willie cast Ala indiana jones or tintin. Where mickey is aboard the steamboat and goes on some crazy adventure
I would really like a new Mickey Mouse movie, something like I also liked his animated shorts Halloween Horror Story and Donald Celebrates the Holidays that seemed more like a movie.. I really loved his movies as a child: the 3 Musketeers, the Prince and the pauper and Christmas, of course
I will say, it is probably easier to make a Donald Duck movie than a Mickey Mouse movie. The main reason I suggest this is because of the Donald Duck comics. These are relatively unknown in the US but very VERY popular in much of Europe, and famous Donald comic artists like Don Rosa or Carl Barks (the creator of Scrooge McDuck who even made his way into Once upon a studio) have plenty of stories ripe for adaptation, either as features or a miniseries of long form featurettes. One which I think could work pretty well is the comic story about square eggs, but of course there are LOADS of stories. Honestly I could also really see The life and times of Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa be adapted into a miniseries. Point is for the duck characters, there is PLENTY of stuff to pull from. Some of which has already been adapted somewhat in the Ducktales series, but a lot of which is still out there.
The Floyd Gottfredson's comic strips are very good material for a Mickey Mouse movie too, full of adventures.
Just make a movie version of Mickey Mania lol. It's a 16-bit game where he visits his old cartoons and meets his old versions.
Have you seen when the low budget Mickey mouse horror movie went 1923 Mickey mouse was in the public domain just like when original pooh turned into a horror pooh.
Really I think Runaway Brain worked in terms of 'darkness' because that was the whole joke, the contrast of the super squeaky clean and chipper Mickey being placed in a cartoon horror story. I tend to think what ruined Mickey in his later years was not him becoming a nicer character but nothing really challenging it anymore, Pluto and Donald became the fall guys while Mickey just fell out of focus, he's not as interesting unless things are working against his jovial nice guy attitude. The Ruddish shorts got that too.
I think it could work if they acknowledged characters not really in use today like Mortimer mouse and Oswald the lucky rabbit in the movie in some way for example cause it could lean on the company’s history to build the movie’s world but it would need the right script to make it work
Well, it could work. It just takes a lot of time and a lot of patience. It takes a lot of dedication and if they don't have that drive that is needed to make one work then it won't.
A Donald Duck family movie based on the comics would be better imo. Please Disney, just give us a Scrooge McDuck origin movie or smth. I’d definitely gonna watch it
@Aldone As someone who doesn’t normally watch your videos, I want to say that there is tons of potential for a feature length Mickey Mouse project, that being if it can blow our minds in showing the mouse as a genuine character.
There is a Mickey Mouse movie It’s Mickey’s Christmas Carol
I liked my own comment
If Disney were to make a Mickey Mouse movie, it should be like Mario Bros Wonder, with mo existing deadline, and just being revealed to the public when the time is right, instead of a rushed product existing to only fullfill a holiday release
They Have to give Mickey A Movie Just Like Goofy (Disney, NOT THE HORROR MOVIE PEOPLE)
I think some of Mickeys comics could be a plot for a Mickey Mouse movie.
I truly think Epic Mickey would be a great blueprint for a proper Mickey Mouse movie. It could be reconstructed into a Mickey origin movie as he was a hapless mouse that was discovered by Disney via a train ride. It would then go into the epic Mickey opening sequence and we get a story of a Mickey Mouse who is a star and has been through a lot over the years. However, he also has a harsh lesson about the legacy that he has and the company that he played within. He then gets a renewed sense of understanding his own role in the Disney legacy and an understanding that everyone deserves a chance or two in the spotlight. That would be a good movie for Mickey.
I personally think that there should be a Disney movie about Yen Sid. Yen Sid is "Disney" spelled backwards. Yen Sid was based on Walt Disney himself. Heck in that Once Upon a Studio short when Mickey looked at the picture of Walt Disney, i feel Yen Sid's Spirit should have popped up.
There was a game called Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, which is the third part of the Epic Mickey series, but only for the Nintendo 3DS. It is about Mickey, who entered a magical castle that was ruled by an evil sorceress who captured Minnie and even all the Disney characters (from Snow White to Rapunzel) and must enter each world to save them. Seems like an interesting premise for a Mickey Mouse movie. Unfortunately, like The Runaway Brain, the game received mixed reviews and flopped in the series. The main reason is due to the lack of levels and boss fights. The only worlds you can enter are Neverland, Agrabah, and Atlantica. The last one is the most difficult of all. It was also a waste of opportunity, as there was concept art of Mickey taking on Monstro the whale from Pinocchio, in the Atlantica level.
Yes, it's Epic mickey mix with castle of illusion
I'm genuinely surprised that Walt Disney Animation Studios hasn't made a proper Mickey Mouse movie yet. Seriously, it's the most obvious thing they could do, but... no? And I'm not counting Fantasia and Fun & Fancy Free here, since Mickey wasn't present throughout the entirety of those films, just specific segments.
Now, maybe if Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers didn't go direct-to-video we would've gotten a feature length theatrical Mickey flick, but guess not. Shame really, as alongside Animaniacs: Wakko's Wish, I feel that deserved its own run in the cinema.
I've said thid before but, the Mickeyverse is a goldmine. I don't want another MCU style Cinematic Universe, but like, the Mickey Comics like X-Mickey, Mickey Mouse 2015 HECK there was a comic where everyone EXCEPT Mickey and Minnie got powers, and they weren't childish and plain they were well written. The Duck Avenger, Darkwing Duck, Scrooge and DuckTales, Goof Troop, Quack Pack, House of Mouse and Mickey Mouse works the sensational six are a truly great band of characters, and their universe is huge and amazing.
Also, I kept hearing smth that kinda, lowkey represents a problem in storytelling now-a-days. The "character arc" syndrome, where it seems every character has to start out with a fatal flaw that gets developed and changed throughout the movie. Mickey and friends don't need that. Mickey stories can have arcs, but it really shines when showing how the characters interact. Before the pre-school era, The sensational six had wild personalities that kept bouncing off of each other, and in the other 'Mickeyverse' shows as well, Scrooge Mcduck, The triplets, heck Max Goof has his own shtick. They're like fleshed out stereotypes. We don't need a grand adventure film, all we need is a show staying true to these characters and what they represent. And it can still have dark themes, I recall one quack pack episode going DEEP into faith and religion, using Aliens as a placeholder. The characters dont need huge arcs, they need to experience stuff and have us watch how their respective characters struggle with each experience.
But if they ever do make Mickey Mouse movies, they'll probably cppy marvel. Seeing how big this universe is, they won't pass up the chance.
This, but it would be better to just start with separate things and only then do it as a whole universe. By the way, it's not called the Mickeyverse, it's the Mouseverse, and the Donald Duck universe is called the Duckverse. It would be good to make movies and series based on many Disney comics, but the problem is that Disney has some intolerance towards comics. Mickey would have a big advantage if a series was made about Detective Mickey and Donald about Duck Avenger or Double Duck or Goofy about Super Goof. Scrooge could get a movie or series based on The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa. And we should not forget the Three Caballeros who are part of Donald's universe. I certainly agree with what you said.
I have an Idea for a premise;
Movie name: Disney World Tour!
Premise: At the Walt Disney Animation studios after they close for the day. All the characters from every Disney movie come to life to throw Mickey Mouse a spectacular birthday party for him. As his girlfriend Minnie Oversees the preparation for the party and dealing with the other characters shenanigans, she notices Mickey is nowhere to be seen in the studio, she goes to thier portrait to find part of the pocture has been cut from the frame. Mickey had been kidnapped! So, with the help of Goofy, Donald and a handful of other favorite Characters travel beyond the studio and into the real world in a race against the clock to save Mickey from this mysterious villain and bring him back home before the Studio reopens!
Sounds like a short. Or at least a straight to streaming feature
If they made a DIsney's Epic Mickey Movie with Oswald, I think that could work.
I wouldn't be surprised if they don't end up doing a Mickey Mouse Movie even with the perfect opportunity of Mickey's 100th birthday I think they will do a short, but a whole movie don't get your hopes up.
Haven't watch the video yet by my answer to the title of the video is:
YESSS, I WANT ONE BUT MAKE IT GOOD
(Like the Mickey from Once Upon a Studio is nicely done, surely they can do it again)
What about a movie adaptation of some Floyd Gottfredson comic? That could be fun.
A different video reviewing Wish actually had an amazing idea for a centennial celebration. It was basically taking the movie of the first Fantasia with Sorcerer Mickey and how he became that, filled with different elements from other Disney movies without making it too much on the nose. Your talk about the Search for Mickey (which definitely should’ve been made) reminded me of the deleted Princess Academy movie which all Disney female protagonists got to interact with official Disney Princesses. Its a shame it got scrapped, considering characters from Pixar like Jessie and Bo Peep were planned to be included too. Imo, Wish was more of a disappointment than anything. I seriously don’t know what the heck Disney was thinking when they scrapped Star boy being Asha’s love interest or especially having BOTH Magnifico and Amaya as an evil Disney couple. But the biggest missed opportunity for this movie was simply the fact Disney didn’t ask Alan Menken to compose the soundtrack, considering how many Disney movies he was involved with and was a major reason why the Renaissance worked. Instead, we get stuck with someone who’s used to pop music and not musical theater or Broadway style music. And I felt the entire thing of giving up your wish made absolutely no sense if you immediately forget what it was anyway. And its clear the citizens are happy and basically worship their king, they don’t seem empty or unhappy without their wishes (not counting Simon’s changed attitude) Like, why have a wish or dream if you’re just going to forget about it anyway?
Yes, I actually had Mickey’s Christmas Carol and the Prince and the Pauper on VHS as a kid! I never realized they were more episode lengthed movies and not full length movies like the others.
The last good Mickey project was the House of Mouse.
There’s also a discussion Disney+ has been harming themselves because at this point, casual audiences know they can just wait 2-4 months for whatever movies they release in theaters to be on Disney+ later instead.
Also doesn’t help that in a post pandemic world combined with the prices of movie tickets being at a all-time high, as far as movie theaters are concerned people are finally now voting with their wallets to see which expensive (both from the studios and audiences perspective) are worth watching.
A Mickey Mouse feature film 100% could and should work, and if you don't believe me, take a look at the Mickey Mouse Comic Strip by Floyd Gottfredson, the best stories ever told with that character comes from there, if you need a sample, volume 6 of the hardcover series collecting the strips is a great showcase of all the best aspects of his adventures. Drawing elements from that stories would make for a good comedy adventure, not unlike Indiana jones, and including other appearences of Mickey Mouse in comics the character has 94 years worth of stories to pull from or adapt.
An interesting thing to note is that at one point there WAS going to be a Mickey film, in the 1940s where Mick, Goofy, and Donald join up with a retired parrot belonging to a pirate in order to find buried gold, while Pete tried to steal the treasure from them. World War 2, like so many of Disney's projects, caused the film to be shelved as the studio focused on cheaper productions, however the plot was reworked for a comic book called "Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold" which replaces Mick and Goof with Huey Dewy and Louie. The storyline was scaled back, there gonna be comedic ghosts in the movie, in the comic Pete disguises himself as one. The movie would've ended with Mick and Pete fighting atop an active volcano, the comic just has Pete knocked out by a coconut. The story was Donald's first original comic book, not reprinted from his daily or sunday strip.
I think an Epic Mickey film could’ve really worked, even if it was direct to video/ streaming. Sometimes I don’t think Disney knows how good of a franchise that is. It has limitless potential, nostalgia built in, and maybe one of the best versions of Mickey Mouse the studio has ever come out with
Before 2010's Tangled, Disney was original plan for their 50th movie was suppsed to be Mickey's friends going through all of the studio's films up to that point , however it was scrapped. Maybe in 2028 they would attempt it again for the character's 100 Anniversary
Disney’s not good at 100 anniversaries but yeah
@@rigboy1234 I never stated it's gonna be good. In fact, that whole Search for Mickey film was a vad idea to begin with and was definitely was a right call for producing a good movie liked Tangled instead.
Guess that's just another thing that Tangled got in the way of, like Princess and the Frog's ambitions to try and help bring hand-drawn animation *back* to the Walt Disney Animation Studio only for Tangled to undo that too.
If they pull the same kind of emotion as they did with Goofy and Donald Duck then yes.
The problem is that they were not bonafide succeses. Cult classics maybe but not box office smashes like Frozen.
I’m surprised they still haven’t done a Mickey cinematic universe
A movie based on Epic Mickey in real paint animation and little to no CGI at all. That's what I want!
A movie about Mickey would be absolutely fantastic! If written well, It would finally allow people to see him with more personality, rather than seeing him as the happy-go-lucky mascot. Mickey used to be mischievous, charming, crafty, witty, intelligent, loving, wholesome, and fun… over time it all got watered down by people who didn’t know how to use him.
But they finally found a team of writers who knew how to embrace his OG quirks when they started releasing the Mickey Mouse shorts from 2013-2023. Mickey was so full of life and personality in that series! If they brought those writers into it (and brought back the extremely talented/charming Chris Diamantopoulos to voice him again), I think they’d have something really special on their hands.
Donald’s (technically) had Ducktales, Goofy’s had the Goofy movies, Mickey and Minnie need their own outlet to shine.
You need the right people, the right era Mickey, and the right story. Horror won't work. I would say Epic Mickey is the story you need.
For a character so simple, making a 1 & 1/2 hour to 2 hour long movie would sound like hell, especially with a 4 year deadline.
For my Mickey Mouse cast
I pick…
Chris Diamantopoulos as Mickey Mouse
Don Cheadle as Donald Duck
Brock Baker as Goofy
John Mulaney as Chip
Andy Samberg as Dale
Shamon Brown Jr. as Max Goof
David Tenant as Scrooge McDuck
Will Forte as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
Frank Welker as Pluto
Brian Hull as Willie the Giant
Emma Stone as Minnie Mouse
Jim Cummings as Pete
And Circely Strong as Mizabrel.
Oh, and Alan Tudyk voices Yen Sid.
To Celebrate Their 101th Anniversary Disney Should Make A Mickey Mouse Animated Or Live Action Movie
I always wanted Disney to make a Mickey mouse movie
In 2028 Mickey Mouse will celebrate his 100th birthday and it will be the perfect time for a his own movie and since Disney will go back to hand-drawn it's a movie that they have to get started I heard rumors about the directors of Once Upon a studio to have full-length directorial debut as well as Richard Sherman and Alan Menken compose the music
I'd be down for a live action animation hybrid mickey movie
Wasnt Fantasia a Mickey film?
Would be intresting if the studio made an animated biopic on Walt Disney himself. It would be a more mature movie since things like the world wars, poverty and other stuff happened during Walt's lifetime. But would be great.
If Disney ever made a Mickey Moues movie I would like for it to be something of a origin story that they can do.
If they were to make a movie. I hope they don’t do a Disney space jam.
they could make it a sort of thing where he's the boss or manager of other Disney characters, And the movie is about him struggling to do that.
For Disney's 100th anniversary, a Mickey Mouse movie would absolutely have been a better idea than Wish. The only tough part is that, for a MM movie to work, Disney would have to show other sides of MM. They'd have to show moments of emotional struggle, and they'd have to show that MM isn't always a smiley, happy-go-lucky mouse and that he's not always a perfect role model. I mean, it's pretty hard to set up any sort of conflict (the core part of a story) without the protagonist experiencing negative feelings such as doubt, anger, frustration, sadness, or vulnerability. It's not impossible, though. They've managed to succeed at this task with some of the video games such as Epic Mickey or some of the shorts such as Runaway Brain.
Showing other sides of MM would go a long way toward making MM feel less like a face on someone's t-shirt and more like a living, breathing character with an actual personality. There are plenty of examples of company mascots starring in successful movies, such as Mario (already mentioned in this video), Sonic the Hedgehog, or SpongeBob. If those guys can star in successful animated movies, then MM can, too. Disney's just gotta get to work on one, finally.
What about Why Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer (2023) is a Masterpiece?
Funny, I watched the movie just yesterday. Watched it just because I was gonna watch Godzilla Minus One in theaters, but unfortunately all sessions expired where I live
Aldone only does Disney topics
@@olleselinDreamWorks and Illumination aren’t Disney. Videos have been made on them
I'd personally love to see an epic mickey film, but idk if I truswt disney at this moment in time...
There's already been two: Fun and Fancy Free and Mickey, Donald and Goofy in Three Musketeers
Never before have I seen a video where the whole script is a run-on sentence.
Honestly, I would have thought that Disney would have released a Mickey Mouse movie for their 100th anniversary. But they did not... I would love a Mickey Mouse movie with Minnie Mouse and all of the other characters in it. Maybe even bring Oswald back as well. I am hoping that Disney will make a movie for these two characters someday.
In this situation I think only Disney itself can rescue Mickey from its bad situation or just a good content might save him for a while.
Yeeez wonder why they didn't make a Epic Mickey movie.
Mickey Mouse movies based on Floyd Gottfredson comics would be real gold. Especially the clash with the Phantom Blot. Also an animated series about Detective Mickey would be very good to see. By the way, I would prefer a Donald Duck Movie like Goofy has his own movie. I know Donald has his own movie The Three Caballeros and it's definitely one of my favorite animated movies and it's definitely a great movie, but I wish he had his own animated movie focusing on Donald and his nephews because after all Donald is the best parent to his nephews , as depicted in the comics. This would make a good premise like a Quack Pack Movie or something. Also an animated series based on the Carl Barks and Don Rosa comics, as well as animated series related to Duck Avenger or Double Duck would be great to see. But to make it truly based on comic book material and not just references like Ducktales 2017 did (mostly poorly). Goofy could have a series related to Super Goof (shown in one episode of House of Mouse).
Unfortunately, Disney has some major intolerance towards comics and I highly doubt we'll see that, but I just hope there are people who respect comic book material. Although if the movie that Warner Bros. is making about Daffy and Porky is successful, Disney will have to make an animated movie about Donald and Goofy.
To Celebrate Their 101th Anniversary Disney Should Make A Mickey Mouse And Oswald The Lucky Rabbit Cinematic Universe That Would Be Amazing
They made two movies for Goofy.
Remember the special Mickey Mouse's 60th Birthday?(1988)?
Yep.
If they make a Donald movie, it shouldn't just be a movie starring Donald. It should should star The Three Caballeros!
You can use the steamboat willie version of Mickey, but not the red pants version as we know him today.
If Disney did make a Mickey movie, how long would it be until they make a live action remake of it
I expect that at least there will be some hacks in the indie scene making a Mickey Mouse horror movie or something, just like Winnie The Pooh. Only, there will probably be even more dumb movies trying to capitalize on the Mouse.
I just want to see another "Mickey Mouse Movie by Disney", anyone else agree?!😏👍💯
I agree
@@isaacelliott-smith7033 AWESOME, THANKS!😎👍💯
Totally.As long as they do not spent millions and respect the character.
