The Walt Disney Company has announced the
return of Mickey Mouse. Mickey will
return to his roots with all new shorts that will air on Disney Channel and
Disney.com. The question is, where has
Mickey Mouse been? In the 1920’s and 1930’s short length cartoons featuring
Mickey Mouse would run before a feature film. Mickey Mouse and the shorts
became so popular that people would watch a feature film just because it had a
Mickey Mouse short. Mickey’s popularity
would take Disney to the next level and allow the company to focus on making
animated feature films. In the past
twenty years Disney’s main star has been in semi-retirement, appearing in a few
straight to video releases. What
happened to Mickey Mouse?
