Mickey

An interesting story about the growing “irrelevancy of mickey mouse”:http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/18/movies/18GREE.html?pagewanted=all&position=?SCREW_YOUR_REG_SYSTEM_NYTIMES. (via “BoingBoing”:http://www.boingboing.net/2004/04/17/mickey_mouses_dwindl.html) Reading that I have to agree, I don’t think I have ever seen him in anything where he is really mickey. I have seen the jack and the beanstalk thing they’re talking about and of course fantasia, but I certainly don’t feel emotional about mickey, he doesn’t seem like a character to me even as much as donald duck (ducktails, woowoo).

I hope he does fade, as I hope Disney fades.
