Mickey Mouse (South Park)

Michael “Mickey” Mouse is a supporting antagonist in South Park. He is dressed in a white "dress" shirt, red tie, and large brown shoes that replace his yellow shoes worn before, he is also given the regular eyes that South Park characters have as opposed to his former oval eyes. He is based off the icon of the Walt Disney Company and one of the most recognized animated characters in the world. Unlike his original counterpart who is the mascot of Disney, as well as the protagonist of his own media franchise, he is the owner of Disney and continuously wishes to gain more profit, such as through the Jonas Brothers and China. Mickey Mouse is revealed as a villain in “The Ring”. In this episode, Mickey Mouse is given a more prominent role, where he is seen as the owner of the Disney Company and boss to the Jonas Brothers. Mickey Mouse is portrayed as an evil, money-hungry, foul-mouthed corporate mogul who is both verbally and physically abusive to his employees (including other Disney, Marvel and Star Wars characters). He is, in truth, a parody of his true self. Instead of being good-natured and kind, he is vindictive and cruel. Yet, like many South Park villains, he keeps a kind of twisted charm due to his dark humor. Mickey Mouse's personality in South Park is drastically different from his appearances in his native Disney material. While the original Mickey Mouse is shown to be friendly, empathetic and cheery, the similar character in South Park is almost the exact opposite of this. He is meant to satirize how corrupt Disney is sometimes accused of being. Mickey Mouse is a corrupt, money-hungry, foul-mouthed, and self-centered corporate mogul who is both verbally and physically abusive to his employees. He is also threatening, ruthless, merciless, aggressive, mysterious, greedy, scheming, terrifying, sadistic, bad tempered, bloodthirsty, sinister, cruel, treacherous and manipulative. For example, when Joe Jonas states that he and his brothers would quit, Mickey Mouse punches Joe in the groin, and begins kicking his face, then forcing him to get up. It should be noted that Mickey Mouse says his trademark "Ha-ha!" laugh at the end of most of his sentences, which in context, comes off like a nervous tic. Also, Mickey Mouse appears to be insane, threatening to kill Stan, Kyle, and Cartman with a chainsaw in order to prevent them from ruining his concert.
