*AudienceAlienatingEra: Unlike the "George Geef" era for WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}, which is merely a [[BrokenBase Base-Breaking Era]], Mickey's post-World War II cartoons from 1946 to 1953 can definitely be considered this. By then, much of Mickey's personality was lost, with co-stars like Donald Duck and Goofy becoming more popular than he, and the shorts that were billed as Mickey Mouse cartoons during that era mostly focused on his dog Pluto instead. Perhaps not surprisingly, Mickey's theatrical career came to an end in early 1953, not to be revived until thirty years later.
