Mickey Mouse has never had a feature-length film despite his worldwide popularity and status as a corporate mascot.
Mickey Mouse's early years were marked by mischievous behavior and controversial elements, but he subsequently became more tame and a role model for children.
Mickey Mouse's absence from feature films and the 30-year gap between his appearances on screen have impacted his perception and made it challenging to develop a movie centered around the character.
