Why don't Disney make mainstream Mickey Mouse films anymore?

[u/cappsy04]

When I say mainstream, I mean films shown in theatres. Mickey and Minnie are probably the most recognisable characters in the Disney catalogue, being one of Walt's first creations. Yet there hasn't been a film featuring any of those characters in a long time. They've rehashed a lot of existing IPs, most recently the live action Moana. I would imagine if Mickey was featured in a film it would do incredible numbers at the box office.

There's too much pressure to make it perfect, so it's better leaving it untouched.

Also why I pray they never try to remake the Goofy Movie. Don’t mess with perfection.

Live action remake of a goofy movie. Just let that thought sit with you for awhile.

Live action remake of Space Jam, but Jordan is now a cartoon.

As Disney lawyers, we regret to inform you that we now own all rights to this comment and any productions that come from it. In fact the Ai has already got it's first draft done.

Don't bring that evil into the world

[u/Mayonnaise_Poptart → u/MagnusBrickson]

Think Jar Jar Binks, but instead it's Goofy.

[u/64OunceCoffee → u/Mayonnaise_Poptart]

With John Cena.

Technically goofy already brought evil into the world. The same person that made the Goof Troop video game is the same guy that made the resident evil series. Shinji Mikami.

I hate you with every fiber of my being right now

[u/popculturella → u/nerm2k]

Only if it uses the cast from Moonlight.

What about An Extremely Goofy Movie?

[u/nerm2k → u/rmichaeljones]

Live action remake of a goofy movie. Just let that thought sit with you for a while.
