What if Walt Disney never lost control or the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit? How would this character reshape Disney's future?
Originally, it meant "the very best", but (IIRC) after WW2, with the proliferation of cheap "souvenier" goods, it began to mean cheap, shoddy, substandard, or amateur. (Frex, the L.A. Mafia was "the Mickey Mouse Mob", because nobody took them seriously.)MorningDew said:"Mickey Mouse" can mean shoddy or substandard?
Bunny-centric Disneyworld?
No Mickey Mouse, Minnie replaced with Harriette Hare
Mouseketeers now the Rabbiteers
Playboy Mansions known as "Rat-holes" wear the Men & Woman play Cat & Mouse, the ladies wearing mouse ears
Disney sues WB over Bugs Bunny, if they win that is a lot of looney tune butterflies, even if they lose it sets up a Oswald vs Bugs world
The term "Oswaldian" replaces "Mickey Mouse" to mean shoddy or substandard
Jessica Rat is Married to Roger Rat
Finally in 1963 Oswald kills Kennedy
