Is Disney Retiring Mickey Mouse in 2024?
Rumors about Disney retiring Mickey Mouse are running rampant and fans wish to know if any of them are true. Here’s all you need to know about the possibility of Disney retiring its mascot in the upcoming year.
Will Disney be retiring Mickey Mouse in 2024?
No, there is no credible information to suggest that Disney will be retiring Mickey Mouse in 2024, and the rumors suggesting it are fake.
Mickey Mouse has been Disney’s long-time mascot. It is literally the face of the company, and it won’t be left behind.
Disney hasn’t made any official statements suggesting that Mickey will be retired. Instead, what’s happening is that Disney could be about to lose its copyright protection for the first version of Mickey Mouse ever created. (via The Guardian)
Steamboat Willie is an animated short film from 1928 that debuted the black and white version of Mickey Mouse, first conceived as “Mortimer Mouse.” From 2024 onwards, Disney could lose copyright protection on “Mortimer Mouse” in many countries, which has been stemming the rumors of the company retiring its biggest character. However, this is likely an exaggeration and is being blown out of proportion.
The red shorts-wearing anthropomorphic mouse has been Disney’s icon and mascot for over 90 years. It is part of Disney’s brand image and its identity. So, it’s safe to say that Disney retiring Mickey Mouse is very unlikely to happen, especially has he’s just a harmless mouse who can’t be attributed to any major controversy or offense.
Mickey Mouse fans who are worried about the character can rest easy, as the rumors are not based on credible sources of information. It’s merely the internet snowballing a wild rumor.
