Description
As a Disney Fan/Nerd/Historian, I get to FED UP with critics and, just plain "haters"always trying to Demonize Mickey Mouse (and, by extension, Walt Disney himself)
as a Greedy, Selfish, Money Loving, Corporate villain.
If people would SLOW DOWN, and do more research.
they would know that they don't HAVE to demonize Mickey Mouse
to express their disdain for how the Disney Company has been behaving lately..
Walt Disney ALREADY created a "Mouse" to emulate that image.
Mortimer Mouse (or, RAT. that's what I see him as) is essentially the "Anti-Mickey."
described as "Mickey Mouse's rival, and OTHER arch-nemesis in animation after Pete"
Mortimer's personality trains are as followed (according to Disney Wiki):
"Cocky, Deceitful, Rude, Arrogant,
Dishonest, Selfish, Obnoxious, and Annoying."
In short, Mortimer is everything Mickey ISN'T
(and, apparently everything that most critics like to think Mickey is..)
So, here is the point that I am trying to make here..
Mickey Mouse is the image of what the Disney company WAS, and is SUPPOSE to be.
whilst Mortimer Mouse is the "Face" of any of Disney's negative qualities. Prior, and/or Current.
So, anytime Disney is legitimately acting "corporate".
I imagine Mortimer is calling the shorts in that Castle, NOT Mickey.
So, please..enough with the Anti-Mickey Propaganda.
if you want a Disney Icon to hate on, then focus on Mortimer.
you know..the Disney Mouse that was are SUPPOSE to dislike.

You know, I though exactly the same thing.
If ToonTown existed, I’m pretty sure Mortimer would be part of the business sections of the company.

RW:don't like him atall,thought I am abit surprised in some house of mouse episode s he did help Mickey Mouse and even Minnie ask help from him aswell.😕

Well, Mortimer isn't a nice fellow..but, no where near the villain that Pete is.
As I stated, he is the Anti-Mickey Mouse that embodies everything Mickey isn't.
He is Selfish, Rude, a Womanizer, and TALL.
He is just a character that many LOVE to Hate, which technically makes him a fan favorite.

RW:makes sense most especially when you forgot that he s also Selfindulgent that he has also a coward aswell .

Wow, a complete opposite of Mickey Mouse. Wonder how many times people have done opposites before. I wonder if there's an Anti-Minnie or an Anti-Goofy or an Anti-Donald or an Anti-Pluto, etc, etc, etc.

No. so far, there has only been an "Anti-Mickey Mouse."
which I feel is enough as it is for the Disney Mythology.
as since Mickey Mouse is Disney's icon, and the image of good natured, wholesome family fun.
then, Mortimer is the perfect flipside of the most endearing cartoon character ever created.
(similar examples are Flintheart Glomgold from DuckTales. who was meant to represent
Scrooge McDuck's worst qualities, and actually makes Scrooge look like Bruce Wayne in comparison.
or, even Negaduck. the sadistic, criminal counterpart to the ego driven crime fighter Darkwing Duck.)
Point is that as Mickey represents Disney in general.
and, Mortimer technically IS the "Anti-Mickey Mouse."
then, Mortimer can be considered the icon of Disney's worst qualities.
the "Anti-Disney", to coin a term.

makes logical sence, i never seen mickey as a horrible guy, but i see Mortimer as a jerk, also the fact that Mortimer was going to be the original before mickey became a thing makessence that he might have found some loophole to call the shots under mickeys nose

It's not like he hasn't tried to impersonate Mickey Mouse for personal gain BEFORE..
Anyway. the root of the issue is how I can't seem to search for Mickey Mouse artwork
on DeviantART, without first having to swim through a "sea" of grotesque propaganda art
that almost always depicts Mickey as some "hellish demon", or a Nazi (sometimes even BOTH!)
I guess I feel that Mickey (and, Disney) doesn't deserve so much hate.
and, if the anti-disney critics want to hate on a Disney Mouse, then they should focus on Mortimer.
Mortimer's personality traits makes him the perfect character
to have given us the worst of what Disney current is today
I mean, Teen Sitcoms, Company Buyouts (though, I will saw that 'Marvel' was a smart move
as Warner Bros. owns DC, anyway), terrible Disney Channel programs, high prices on EVERYTHING.
It isn't too hard to visualize Mortimer sitting in an office with a smug grin
as he counts Disney's profits, whilst approving EVERY dumb idea that is presented to him without even looking at it.
So, blame everything bad about Disney on Mortimer Mouse.
he is the icon of "Anti-Disney."

The problem is that he is an obscure character. His last appearance before that one episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was decades ago.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Perhaps, though not as obscure as "Julius"
(yeah. NOBODY remembers That Disney Character..Nobody but me.)
point is that while not as well known as Pete, Mortimer is still a character
who is used, and given actual appearances at times (by that, i mean he appeared in ONE episode
of the 2013 Mickey Mouse cartoon as a gag character.)
Oswald is more popular, yet in Today's cartoons, he only appears in cameos
(and, even THEN, I am never quite sure it is him.)
Point is..if you ever said "Mortimer Mouse" to anyone,
most (if not all) would immediately know who you are referring to.

And whoever played Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. He was a super boss in that game.
Used only once literally every few years/decades does kinda imply he really isn't worth it.
Does Disney even own Oswald? I thought he was only allowed to be used in the Epic Mickey games due to some deal.
I kinda doubt that. But okay.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
uh, no. not THAT Julius. I was referring to the original one.
(see?, i really AM the only one that remembers this character.)
(snickers) you're kidding, right? I hope you are.
because, DUH. of course Disney owns the rights to the character!
otherwise, why else would Disneyland be selling Oswald merchandise
like 'Oswald Rabbit' ear hats, and a slew of other toys at their shops.
thing is, they may have the character back.
but, they are purposely using the character is a decidedly slow pace.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, the one in Kingdom Hearts represents the original. Just a version of the same character.
Just wasn't sure. Before those games Disney didn't own him due to technicalities. I guess sense then they did gain full rights.
Even if they do have him back he is stil pretty much just a relic of the past. Unless they do plan some big revival he is just another thing to make merchandise off of.
On that note do we even want a revival. The current trend with reboots of cartoon series is not a very good one. I know Disney isn't like Cartoon Network, but I am still worried about the Duck Tales reboot. The wording with that announcement wasn't very reassuring.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(sigh) no, no, no..THAT wasn't the original.
THIS was the original Julius by Disney: disney.wikia.com/wiki/Julius_t…
the name was clearly borrowed for the "Franken-Pete" character that you are referring to.
Given the positive reception of Mickey Mouse 2913 by Paul Rudish
(and, the general public DEMANDING to see more Oswald)
I don't think "relic" is a proper term to use to describe Oswald.
I remain positive for "DuckTales II"
if the change of voice acting is the main issue, well..that can't be helped.
as, with Alan Young's death, Disney has no choice change the voice cast.
furthermore. DuckTales isn't like if they rebooted Kim Possible, or Wander Over Yonder.
DuckTales features some characters that are Classic Disney originals.
so, they treat Scrooge, and "The Nephews" with the same care
as they do Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy (speaking of, Who wants a Goof Troop reboot? THIS GUY, that's what!)
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Oh. Another character from before Disney. As in the company.
Just how many characters did he create before the founding of his own thing?
If you say so. Still doesn't change that he kinda is. A few cameos isn't really enough. But it is getting there.
We can hope. But people have thought the same thing before. But again, Disney seems to be better the CN.
As for a Good Troop remake, that would be awesome. As long as they don't have Goofy acting completely brain dead, or like some hilbilly.

The prior "Goofy Movies" (which were loosely spun off from Goof Troop)
were good at showing Goofy as a serious character with genuine emotions and feelings.
in both films, Goofy wasn't a total idiot.
he wanted to be a good father (which was difficult being a single dad.)
he has even been upset with Max on occasion.
as well as having a romantic side in the second film.
As far as I know, Julius Cat is the last of Walt's originals.
Clearly, Julius has some influence when "Fanny" was replaced with "Sadie/Ortensia"
is Oswald's shorts, as she is pretty much "Julius in a Dress", not unlike Minnie Mouse.
but, Julius lack of appearances isn't too surprising.
given that Julius has obvious similarities to Felix the Cat
(Disney probably doesn't want to start any legal issues with Paramount.)
regardless, Oswald had his own forgotten predecessor.
who didn't even appear, or was mentioned in Epic Mickey.
so, Oswald doesn't have it THAT bad, whenever you think about it..

Not loosely spun off. They the direct continuation of Goof Troop. And yeah, those were the best portrayals of Goofy.
Yeah.
Well, for thoses here is hoping for the best.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I always assumed they were loosely based
given that there was a lack of Peg and Pistol in both films.
Regardless, I like how Goofy was portrayed.
and, I often use Goofy as a reference for MLP's character, Derpy.
who I personally view as a parallel to Goofy in many ways.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, direct sequels. Was said so by the director, I believe. As for Pete's wife and daughter being absent, not the first time characters were forgotten about. Of course it could be that they were unnecessary. At least in this case there really is a simple hand wave as to why they aren't there. Divorce.
That is a good portrayal for Ditzy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, yeah..the old "Divorce" card. (that gets old fast, you know.)
Well, I think it is safe to assume that the absence of Max's mother
DOES NOT attest to divorce, as I doubt any woman would leave Goofy behind like that.
no, I think Max's mom just died, or something.
and, Goofy does his best to not let Max feel upset over it.
(and, I must admit. his clumsy antics IS a good distraction from such grief.)
But, one has to wonder how Goofy feels about it.
obviously, he doesn't show it. but, he must feel miserable without her.
Indeed. with Derpy, I only saw a female Goofy.
and, didn't quite get why people thought she was an offensive character.
Like Goofy, Derpy is well meaning, and helpful.
she just is clumsy, and tends to mess up despite her best intentions.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Given the history with Disney that is most likely the case for Goofy's wife. Missing parents are usually always due to some misfortune like that.
Still Pete was most likely just divorced. Of course until that is said by somebody that worked on the first movie it is just a theory.
As for Ditzy, it was more the name Derpy people were offended with. The word derp is pretty much slang for someone with autism or retardation.
And that name was used because it was more popular with the fan community. They should have just went with Ditzy, and gave the voice actor better instructions in that episode. But they definitely did better with her in the episode Slice of Life. Don't remember if they said her name in that episode though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
All I know is that in the episode credits, she was called (oh god) "Muffins"
Another thing to point out about Goofy is that while he may seem 'dim'
he is actually alot smarter than most people think.
my favorite example of this was in Kingdom Hearts II.
where upon arriving at the Mulan themed world, ONLY Goofy saw through Mulan's "Ping" disguise.
While most find this odd, it actually does make a strange kind of sense.
as being a 'simple' person, Goofy doesn't think too hard about certain things.
as such, Goofy notices the obvious that most would overlook
and, can come up with simple solutions to complex problems.
So, while he is a "Goof", he isn't a total idiot, either.
