The World of Forgotten Disney

The Search For Mickey Mouse

The Search For Mickey Mouse

Lost Disney Film

Ahhhhh "Forgotten Disney" is now Two years old!!!

Whoa! Calm down, you crazy fangirls and boys. I'm just getting started.

To celebrate, here's a film project that I really wish Disney would continue to make! *Cough cough* Disney I'm available remember? It's not like I'm despite or forgot-......-_-

Funny, I called myself forgotten in a book about forgotten oh whatever y'all get the point. I'll just continue to wait for an answer from Dreamers Academy.

The Search For Mickey Mouse was designed to be an Avengers-style team-up movie that would have celebrated 75 years since the creation of Mickey Mouse and friends, while also pulling in characters who have been popular in Disney films since.

There had been attempts at a feature-length Mickey Mouse feature before. (And we all know how Disney tried and failed to make a Mickey Mouse film before. Here's what I have to say about that:

The plot would have seen Mickey kidnapped by forces unknown, leaving Minnie at a loss about how to recover him. She ultimately turns to a mouse detective, specifically Basil of Baker Street, (from The Great Mouse Detective) and winds up traversing the whole Disney canon in the course of the investigation, encountering at least one character from every Disney animated film along the way.

In addition to the cameos, the main supporting cast of characters would have included Peter Pan, Robin Hood, Aladdin, and Alice. The problem, as executives saw it, was that there needed to be more to a 90 minute feature than just a cameo-palooza, and the project stalled in the story development stages.

It wouldn't be the first time we've ever seen crossovers between Disney characters. The Kingdom Hearts video games take place in a world where Final Fantasy intersects with a whole bunch of Disney characters and villains from their animated classics, and Disney Infinity has done the same with their more recent IP. Older readers might even remember Disney's House Of Mouse, the 2001 series in which most of the Disney animated characters hung out in a bar owned by Mickey.

However, the project suffered script problems with the multiple cameos being thought to be too gimmicky. The project was later replaced by Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers.

With no new information, many believed the project to be cancelled until 2005, when WDW Radio (a podcast website) reported that the film would be released in 2012 as Walt Disney Animation Studio's 50th Animated Feature, bringing new hope back into the project. However, an inconsistency occured when Tangled became the studio's 50th Animated Feature in 2010. No footage or screenshots have surfaced, and it is currently unknown if the project will ever continue production.

Me right now because of all this waiting:

Hmm quite funny how this is my 160th chapter...no it wasn't planed eather. Hehe. Hope ya have fun and continue to read on, more surprises are on the way. I'm always throwing plot twist at ya! Oh ho ho ho ha ha ha! 

Puns!

I crack myself up.
