Mickey: The Story of a Mouse

Documentary

Directed by Jeff Malmberg

Mickey Mouse is one of the most enduring symbols in our history. Those three simple circles take on meaning for virtually everyone on the planet. So ubiquitous in our lives that he can seem invisible, Mickey is something we all share, with unique memories and feelings. Over the course of his nearly century-long history, Mickey functions like a mirror, reflecting our personal and cultural values back at us. "Mickey:… From TMDB

    I rewatched Mickey 17 recently, and I think it’s a great movie that has a lot to say about historiography, class, and colonialism but suffered from coming out at a time when a lot of prominent people decided talking about such things was cringe

In a [video](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcPLvPOBEJi/) from 19 August, captioned “this might be the most controversial move ever by Disney”, a voiceover says that Disney has announced in an “official statement” the beloved mascot is “undergoing gender transition surgery to become Moxie Mouse”. It goes on to claim that the move is being made in the name of “inclusivity, diversity and understanding”, saying: “It will…

    Bong Joon Ho recently talked about the mixed reception to Mickey 17. He admitted that he struggled directing a big-budget film, but nonetheless he owned up to the final result & encouraged people to "shit on him" if they were unsatisfied. Just wanted to throw that out there as a counter-example.

    The "wie just trained in it" argument is such bullshit. If I learned to paint by copying making my own Mickey Mouse comics just for my own pleasure, that would be fine. But If I then started selling them Disney would sue the hell out of me. The same standards shpuld apply to AI companies.
