Discussion Debate - Mickey Mouse

I as have mentioned before, Mickey Mouse is a key part of every kid's life. He's an American icon that has been around for nearly a century. Without him, the world would be a little more gloomy than it is now. Mickey has populated comics, televisions, and even diapers. At his prime, before the 90s, the mouse was of many faces. He could switch from an action hero to a comedian in an instant. But later, like all stars, his shine began to fade. Mickey turned from the energetic cool guy, to the educational grandpa. Mickey stopped connecting with older audiences and focused on the little children. There has been many attempts to reinstate his epic side (Search Epic Mickey), not one has truly brought him back. Sure everyone knows him, but older kids have stopped wanting to be like him. Mickey has become the old man who enjoys telling everyone about the glory days. Personally, I believe it would take a dumb miracle to reconnect him with older audiences. If you watch the Disney Channel, you can sometimes see reruns of his old cartoons. That is a terrible idea, because it makes us realize how empty the world is today. The Disney Channel now is a slap in the face to the original one. It takes the essence of Disney and transforms it into a beast. Now take a look at Looney Tunes. To me, it seems easier to make them cool to older people than it is for Mickey Mouse. Why is it? Because Looney Tunes weren't forced to become baby friendly. They remained wacky and loony for all times. That's what makes them more beloved by older people and little ones. So as my final verdict, I say that Mickey Mouse needs a miracle to come back on top. Otherwise, he'll be an educational man forever.
