In 1999, Mickey Mouse came back. He was always around, but he was finally a cartoon character again. The funny, energetic and snappy Mickey Mouse Works only ran for 2 seasons before being rebranded as House of Mouse in 2001-2003, and both shows capped off the Disney Renaissance in a party. The biggest Disney crossover possible at the time started. But who exactly was left in the background? Why doesn’t Disney talk about it anymore? And are there good stories and jokes that you can latch onto? No one can give you that answer like Gaston, but I’ll try my best.
