Pete's the big cat that's part of Mickey Mouse's cast. He was also in Goof Troop.

Yeah, its' really hard to find anyone to cheer for in Peter Pan, they're all either assholes, or idiots.

He's an immortal, unchanging selfish person with the mind of a child who can never understand that keeping other children for the rest of their lives isn't a bad thing.

Also he forgot about Tinkerbelle, apparently.

[up]Tinkerbell herself was a sociopath who outright tried to kill any girl who got too close to Peter.

That would require Mickey to actually be in something.

It's just weird that they put Mickey in all their logos and everything when most people weren't alive for the last time he was actually in any major movies.

To be fair he's been getting a lot more spotlight as of recently.

And they tend not to put any of the classic shorts characters in the movies anyway.

Mascots don't necessarily need to be all that relevant. The Shin Megami Tensei mascot is Jack Frost, and he's just a random monster. Keeping Mickey in the mascot role makes more sense than using someone from a recent movie who fall from relevance in a few years. Imagine if they tried changing their mascot to Chicken Little or something.

What has there been besides Epic Mickey?

other than the Kingdom Hearts series, re-release of Castle of Illusion, and the brand new Mickey Mouse shorts Disney's been doing for months now?

He's actually probably been the lead of more recent material than Donald or Goofy have.

Oh, I haven't heard of the shorts.

Anyway, I guess the opposite is Mario. Mario is in every game ever and yet has no personality or characterization either due to the Mascot Lobotomy.

They at least have gotten the point with Mickey and given him more personality again (or at fail tried to).

[up]Sonic was at one point suffering the opposite problem ironically enough, though seems to be heading to similar territory (he at least has some personality however).

Pete's the big cat that's part of Mickey Mouse's cast. He was also in Goof Troop.

One thing I still wonder: Pete lived in a mostly dog-populated world in "GT". Peg was some kinda poodle or some Pomeranian. Does that make PJ a Cat Dog?surprised

The only thing I can think of for Sonic is that he likes to go fast and eat chilidogs and give stupid safety messages. But I was never a big Sonic fan.

[up]He's also cocky, making him either an Insufferable Genius or a Leeroy Jenkins Depending on the Writer.

Some interpretations also make him Peter Pan levels of jerkassery.tongue

He did suffer Mascot Labotomy in some medias however, especially Sonic X.

quick update on Sonic's personality:

  • go fast? check.
  • love of chili dogs? check.
  • safety messages? not as much as he used to.

That's no good.

@Psi: Yeah, I think Sonic was at his worst in Sonic X {And also Sonic 06, but that's a whole other story}. Pretty much no personality whatsoever, and he was just there to constantly save the day {And for that matter, characters like Amy and especially Knuckles were horribly flanderized as well}. At least in Sonic Satam he had a personality of sorts, even if he was a giant douche at times and also a bit of an idiot, especially in season 2 {Though not anywhere near as much as his Sonic The Comic counterpart, who was a full-on Jerkass, no questions about that}.

Then there's Tails, who's just there to accidently let Robtonik take the gem and to 'accidently' make Sonic drown.
