PHIL ON FILM: PhilVillarreal says 'Mickey: The Story of a Mouse' on Disney+ is a well-rounded look at the Disney icon.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Mickey Mouse is such a goliath of a cultural icon that it's tough to fathom where he came from, how he became so significant or why he endures despite hardly ever starring in new material.
The film may be geared toward Disney mega-fans, but has value as a somewhat neutral cultural examination of the figure's evolution. Going back to the character's creation in 1928 — purportedly by Walt Disney on a train ride — Malmberg sifts through troves of rare footage and archival interviews to craft Mickey's sprawling life story and influence.
The film also tackles the character's long, winding descent into cultural ambiguity and irrelevance. Malmberg gives examples of the way the generations co-opted the character to their own purposes. It also mentions Disney's hard-line copyright enforcement of the image over the years, as well as businesses that dared to use Mickey to their purposes without permission.
