Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse is the most famous cartoon character ever created — but he might also be the least controversial. As the face of Disney since Steamboat Willie in 1928, Mickey helped build the modern animation industry and became one of the most recognizable figures on the planet.

The problem? Some fans argue Mickey isn’t really a character anymore — he’s a corporate mascot. While Bugs Bunny spent decades trolling hunters and breaking the fourth wall, Mickey mostly played it safe as Disney’s friendly ambassador.

So the debate is simple: Is Mickey Mouse the true GOAT of cartoon characters… or just the most successful logo in animation history?
