Self Demonstrating / Mickey Mouse

Gosh! My own page!^note Oh, and by the way, this art's named "90 Years of Mickey Mouse" and it was done by a fella at the studio called Tim Rogerson. You can see my modern design in the center, but clockwise from top we got: the time I played an apprentice to Mr. Yen Sid; my first big break as a steam-boat steam-boy; the fun and fancy time I had with that Paul Rudish guy; that oh-so colorful concert; my big television debut, my heyday, some… growing pains, and the time I defeated a giant with nothin' but my bare wits. That's just a few of the escapades I've gone through, and hopefully there's plenty more of 'em to come!

(For best results, I'd suggest ya read this page in the voice of Walt Disney, Wayne Allwine, Bret Iwan, or Chris Diamantopoulos.)

Huh-ha! Hey, everybody! It's me, Mickey Mouse! I'm sure ya folks have already been told about who I am, but to make a long story short, I'm just a fella who's here to entertain. I've been a star for cartoons, games, movies, merchandise for about… a century? Gosh, that's a long time, it's gettin' harder and harder to keep track these days! All'a that stardom can get to a guy's head, but I've been told that the reason folks stick around me isn't just because'a my marketability (least I hope it isn't). They say it's because I'm just a regular fella who gets into not-so-regular situations, and so everyone's lookin' to see how I'm gonna get out of 'em.

But as for me, I've got a lot of fun folks in my life to keep me company. There's my faithful dog Pluto^note Pluto: Ruff!, my fashionable and savvy sweetheart Minnie^note Minnie: Yoo-hoo!, and my pals Donald^note Donald: Hey, where am I? What's goin' on!?, Daisy^note Daisy: Hey, tropers! Care to give a gal her own page down the line? and Goofy^note Goofy: Thank ya, Mickey! A-hyuck!. We do a lot of fun things together. Sometimes we just hang out at a clubhouse, sometimes we just relax, and sometimes we get into big trouble, but usually it's our teamwork and courage that saves the day. We might even learn a life lesson or two!

Check out my tropes here! Huh-ha!

• Adaptational Badass: Now, hold on, there's no need for that language! But I can't say there aren't times when I'm a little stronger an' scrappier than usual. Just ask my pal Sora!
• Adaptational Villainy: I know there're some parodies of me out there that are used to represent the bad side a' Disney, but a kinda special mention goes to one in particular. He's a real piece a' work who treats everyone like dirt, bends over to that Winnie-the-Pooh-lookin' guy, burns people to bits when things don't go his way, and… tried to cut kids up with a chainsaw!? Gosh, I know I'd never be caught DEAD doing those kinds of things, and I'm glad I don't hafta be in the same room with that crazy impostor!
• Alice Allusion: Gosh, that was prob'ly one of the scariest moments of my life!
• Alliterative Name: Mickey Mouse. Right in the house!
• Animated Adaptation: Yep, several of my shorts are based on classic stories! I might be a little bit of a bookworm myself, but I'm sure you've had some fun with reading, too! It's probably why you're here!
• Arch-Enemy: Usually, it's that big bully Pete, but there's also the Phantom Blot who I've gotta worry about, too!
• Art Evolution: My look's kinda changed time to time. I think ya know the story: I used to be all black-and-white, then I got some gloves, then my pants and shoes got some color, then the look of my face changed, too. It's happened to a lot of my other cartoon contemporaries. It’s life, pal!
• Badass Adorable: I know that Minnie thinks so! Like I said, the story behind me is that I'm just a li'l fella livin' life, but when the goin' gets tough, I can really get goin'!
• Bears Are Bad News: That one's a bad memory… I've been scared of huntin' ever since! I'd prefer a can'a rabid beans any day!
• Big Damn Heroes: During Sora's second big journey, there might've been some moments where things got a little tough and he got knocked down a bit badly by some foes. Thankfully, I happened to be in the neighborhood and I could tell Sora wasn't ready to give up just yet, so I came rushing in to the rescue, Keyblade in hand! I gave those foes a piece of my mind even though I couldn't bring 'em down myself, but even if things went wrong for me, I made sure to get Sora back into fighting shape no matter what!
• Black Comedy Animal Cruelty: Heh! That… that sure was a different time. Sure, folks found it funny then, but nowadays I shy away from it. I'd prefer to play "Turkey in the Straw" on somethin' like a harmonica these days.
• Blowing a Raspberry: Especially to Pete!
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: On some occasions, I would probably talk to the audience for help.
• The Cameo: I wasn’t trying to cause a house invasion in the "Hollywood House", I just wanted to play around, and that cameo sure was swell!
• Captain Ersatz: Of my professional half-brother, Oswald. Poor guy. Least I helped him get back into the spotlight a little in recent years!
• Cartoon Conductor: Social nice rodent untrained conductor right here!
• Chastity Couple: Me and my gal, Minnie! Oh, boy! When I'm shoulder-deep in sadness, she always knows what to do! Well, me and Minnie haven't been formally married yet because of some nightmare, but at least we’re still in love! Don't remind me about that Fan Art, though. The last time I checked it out, I couldn't sit right for a week and Goofy had to fill in for me for a day.
• Clothes Make the Legend: I don't just need a shirt to show my swellness! Not to say I don't know how t' dress for the occasion, though.
• Covered in Kisses: Gosh, Minnie loves me so!
• Driven to Suicide: I remember Walt himself pushing for it, but hoo boy, I'm not surprised if some a' you were shocked to discover it for how dark it was. I thought Minnie was cheating on me!
• Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Come on, just because I wear shorts and a pair of shoes doesn’t make me the odd one out. I’m not the only one…
• Mascot: The face of the Disney company right here!
• Mr. Vice Guy: Okay pals, I gotta be honest, I went pretty far on all the smoking in the old days. And chewing tobacco. And the beer. And all of the other stuff. Mostly regret the smoking, though. 'Specially considering what happened to Uncle Walt.
• Negative Continuity: I've got a lot of acting range! From a fantasy universe to a medieval universe^note "Ye Olden Days" to an RPG crossover universe^note Kingdom Hearts series to even a universe set during the pioneer days!^note "Pioneer Days"
• Noodle Incident: I played an inmate one time in the timeless classic "The Chain Gang". How'd I get there, ya ask? Gosh, that's a story…
• Pie-Eyed: It was pretty common with us characters in the 1930s. Cartoon stuff.
• Prehensile Tail: Good thing I’m a mouse! You could say I've got three hands!
• Public Domain Animation: It didn't even take a full day for the internet to… "YouTube Poop" me, I think the phrase is. Well, I can't say I'm upset about finally being free for a new generation after waitin' an extra twenty-five years, but one thing that really sits wrong with me is the horror movie stuff. I dunno what the appeal is with that, and nobody I've asked seems to give me a good answer. I'm happy to fight some ninjas, though!
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: Sora and his pals know me as the King of Disney Castle, and I've got just the skills to help them on their quest to defeat the forces of darkness! Watch this! STOPZA!
• The Speechless: At first, but soon I got to servin' up some hot dogs. From then on, I guess I kinda found my voice!
• Too Many Babies: Hot dog! That one nightmare showed me why you hafta think twice before doing something big!
• The Trickster: Maybe not as much nowadays compared to when I started out. I was… kinda younger and foolish then, y'know…
• Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Oh boy! I am not known for violence.... unless you count my Kingdom Hearts appearance. Anyway, King me had a duel with that Yoda fellow. What do I say? Oh gosh, I guess I showed him who's the better one!

Welp pals, see you real soon!
