You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

Is Mickey Mouse dead?
I wish. I absolutely hate him. Hated him as a kid. I never, ever had any desire to go to Disneyland. I thought the entire stable of Walt Disney cartoon characters were just terrible. I never found any of them the least bit funny or entertaining. Give me good old Looney Tunes any day.
But, yes, in answering the original question, Mickey is in better shape as an actual character and property than he has been in decades. I think someone at Disney woke up and decided they better make him relevant to today's kids pretty quickly. And they've done a pretty good job of doing that and NOT committing sacrilege by making him too "edgy" or "hip", like Poochie...or the New 52.
Warners recently woke up and smelled that same coffee and gave us The Looney Tunes Show.

^It sounds evil...but I kind of understand it. If any copyright owner doesn't actively protect that copyright, they can lose it. The Mouse employees a lot of people who would be out of a job if that happened. It does look bad, but on one hand I can see it. Cease and Desist letters before litigation are much nicer than a straight lawsuit, however.

My daughter yells for me every time one of those new Mickey shorts plays on the Family channel, they're terrific. I have very little interest in the character (aside from tremendous respect for the Topolino comics) but these new shorts are funny and well done.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

I know I'm late to the dance on this one - But my twin 4 years olds love Mickey -
He is far from dead at my house. They watch him every day. I live in New york but inlaws have a house 20 mins from the parks in FL. We are lucky enough to take the kids twice a year
and they go nuts. They watch disney jr almost every day. And have a hand full of disney toys - they can pretty much name any disney character so I would have to say he is far from dead.
Frozen was a great kids movie - that short was awesome - even I loved it.
I think he is as strong as he ever was - if not stronger. IMO
With Disney Now owning Marvel, Hasbro and Star Wars - the mouse will not be going anywhere any time soon. He is here to stay. I bet we see a lot more of these newer shorts going forward."Where Does He Get Those Wonderful Toys?"Comment

Mickey Mouse is dead. Except for Disney enthusiasts/fans, (I knew one guy like that. He is every bit like a Trekkie except it's Disney and he won't admit it), most of America, perhaps the world, know not that new short cartoons are being made. The reason why is Disney airs it's material on it's own channel and not on regular broadcast TV. Yes you can keep your product on your own channel that people pay for but you can't reel in people who don't subscribe to the channel if they don't know the show is on.Comment

Naw, he's not dead. He was more dead in our time than he is now. Disney is actively marketing him to preschoolers, children and teens, and he's making it into theaters. Frozen has made a boatload of money, and Mickey was out in front of the film. He's in better shape now than he's been in decades.
