50 Ideas for Mickey Mouse Movies Now That He's Public Domain

Full disclosure, I wrote this blog a couple weeks ago. Took me way too long to write. In the end it was so stupid and long that I was afraid to publish it. But fuck it. I wrote the thing so here it is. Enjoy (or don't). 

I learned that Micky Mouse had become public domain from Jerry Thornton's blog the other week (posted above). Nowadays, if you want to make a movie or show that features Mickey Mouse's likeness, you're entitled to do so. You have the right to make Mickey Mouse do whatever the hell you want him to. People have apparently known this was coming, because as soon as it became official, 3 trailers for Micky Mouse themed slasher films immediately dropped. 

I'm sure these murderous Mickey Mouse films are going to be great. I have the highest of expectations. But quite frankly, that idea is lazy. Anybody can make a Mickey Mouse slasher film. All you need is a group of teens, some dark lighting, and a man in a distorted Mickey Mouse mask who hangs out in the shadows with a bloody cleaver.

Here are 50 original (not really) ideas for Mickey Mouse themed movies. Feel free to make any of them. I only ask for 50% of the profits. 

1. Young Mickey Mouse grows up to be an exceptional baseball talent. He's one of the top major league prospects. But nobody wants to play with a mouse. They think mice don't belong in baseball. Think Jackie Robinson in '42', but with a mouse. 

2. Mickey Mouse hasn't paid his taxes in half a decade, so he infiltrates the IRS, gets hired on as an agent, learns the system inside and out, and figures out how to eradicate his own tax debt.

3. Mickey Mouse is a scientist. He dedicates his life to figuring out a way for mouse/human hybrids like himself to breed with regular humans. He wants to create a slightly more human version of himself. His plan is to create one super race. Everyone will be part mouse.

4. Thoughtful drama where a young Mickey Mouse tries his best to understand both sides of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Learns a lot about  the word. Learns even more about himself. 

5. Mockumentary where Mickey Mouse is a door-to-door knives salesman who gets himself into wacky shenanigans while visiting customers. If your familiar with the show 'High Maintenance', it would be a little bit like that.

6. Mickey Mouse is a new hero in the Marvel Universe .

7. Mickey Mouse moves to a cheap apartment in New York City that has a serious rat problem. Has major internal conflict regarding what to do about it.

8. Mickey Mouse goes undercover as a young woman to infiltrate and bust up a human trafficking ring.

9. Mickey Mouse is sick and tired of being a mouse and undergoes species reassignment surgery.

10. Stupid indie film where Mickey Mouse goes to college, nothing exciting happens, it's just Mickey having a normal college experience. Everyone will call it the greatest film of all time.

11. A complete rip of off a regular Disney kids movie. Mickey Mouse is regular Mickey Mouse, but all of the other characters are obvious knockoffs of Mickey's non-public domain Disney friends, (Saturn The Dog, Mandy Mouse, Goofsly, etc.) 

12. Mickey Mouse creates the newest hit cryptocurrency called Mickcoin. He makes billions of dollars. He buys the Carolina Panthers and moves them to Orlando. Renames them the Orlando Mickeys. But the power gets to his head. Micky starts hanging out with rich elites and ends up on Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs. Goes to prison and "kills himself".

13. Mickey Mouse becomes the face of a new brand of vape that is reportedly "safe for kids". But all of the sudden, kids lungs start exploding. Mickey becomes the focal point of a massive trial.

14. Mickey Mouse tries to find his biological parents so he can learn his medical history. He wants to make sure he's not high risk for any particular diseases. He comes to realize that he doesn't have parents, and was made in a lab by Walt Disney. So he finds where Walt Disney is frozen so he can unfreeze him and ask him questions. He eventually finds him and sets him out in the sun to thaw. But obviously when he unfreezes him, Walt Disney's stiff dead corpse collapses onto the floor. Mickey falls to his knees and cries. 10 years later when Mickey turns 40, he get's a colonoscopy and learns that he has late stage prostate cancer. If only he had gotten a colonoscopy earlier in life. Then doctors would have caught it. It would have been easily curable. But now it's too late, and Mickey only has months to live.
