Editing Mickey Mouse (film series) (section)

== Bad Qualities ==

# In the earlier shorts like ''Plane Crazy'', Mickey can actually be a bit of jerk, especially towards Minnie in the aforementioned short since he actually forced her to kiss him.
#* Donald and Pete can also be pretty unlikable at times, especially in the 2013 series in the former's case.
# Most of the later shorts actually don't have Mickey be the protagonist, with the focus being more towards Pluto, Donald and Goofy, albeit there's a reasonable explanation for this (see the Trivia section).
# Some horror-themed cartoons like ''Haunted House'' and ''The Mad Doctor'' can be scary for younger audiences, in fact, ''The Mad Doctor'', while not a bad cartoon, caused immense controversy due to it's scary tone to the point of some theaters refusing to show it and even getting temporarily banned in the United Kingdom and Nazi Germany. ''The Mad Doctor'' even entered the public domain long before the 1928 cartoons due to Disney not renewing the trademark, though ''Haunted House'' remained under trademark as it still aired on Walt Disney's anthology show around Halloween.
#*The same thing can be said with ''Pluto's Judgement Day'', which had Pluto having a horrific nightmare and being treated as a utter Butt-Monkey for chasing cats, and this time to a much disturbing degree and even becoming one of the darkest cartoons Disney has ever made.
# Some of the episodes like ''Building A Building'' slightly copy elements from ''Oswald the Lucky Rabbit's'' series (which actually makes a bit of sense because it also was produced by Disney before losing the rights to Universal Studios).
# Some characters like Mammy Two-Shoes (not to be confused with the Tom & Jerry character of the same name), Daisy Duck and Pluto's Kid Brother are pretty bland and forgettable mostly, as they rarely have a lot of personality and come off as jerks at times and can get pretty unlikable sometimes.
#* Speaking of Mammy Two-Shoes, she is a rip-off of the character of the same name from Tom & Jerry and only appeared in one short, that's it.
#* Thankfully, in Daisy's case, she's gotten more personality in other Mickey Mouse-related media such as ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', ''Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers'', ''Mickey Mouse'' (2013), ''The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse'', ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'', ''Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures'', ''Mickey Mouse Funhouse'' ''Quack Pack'' and ''DuckTales'' (2017) if we ignore her flanderized versions from ''Mickey Mouse Works'', ''House of Mouse'', ''Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas'' and ''Legend of the Three Caballeros''.
# A few of the earlier shorts like Mickey's Mellerdrammer have racial stereotypes against Africans or African-Americans.
#* ''Mickey in Arabia'' featured stereotypes of Arabians.
#* Thankfully, unlike Africans or African-Americans or most cartoons of the time, it didn't feature that many stereotypes of East Asians.
# Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, while a good TV show, wasn't well-received by some Mickey Mouse fans, since it disrespected the source material of the shorts and had a repetitive episode formula of Mickey and his friends solving minor problems in a 22-minute format and the series itself was aimed at toddlers which is not a bad thing, but the show uses Fake Interactivity in a very dumb-downed way (like many preschool shows in that era) and overuses Fourth-Wall Breaking to the point where it gets annoying easily & quickly.
#* In fact, the show got extremely popular to the point where it has overshadowed the history of the character and all of the spin-off material featuring the characters and even the film short themselves (both Walt Disney and Paul Rudish) and also Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse. And worse, many people have confused Mickey Mouse for being aimed at preschoolers, which clearly isn't the case, and many people nowadays only associate Mickey Mouse with the show in general and tend to overlook most of the other material featuring the character.
#* The show is also the reason why Mickey nowadays is usually mocked by many people and always gets depicted in a negative light overall.
#* It also ran for way too long, running for 10 years from 2006 to 2016, which makes it the longest running Disney show of all time, and thankfully, Mickey and the Roadster Racers/Mickey Mouse's Mixed Up Adventures and Mickey Mouse Funhouse (to some extent) are improvements over Clubhouse and redeemed the modern version of Mickey Mouse.
