Headcanons between the Looney tunes characters and Disney Fab Five

Bugs and Mickey are the mascots of their respective franchises. They were chill during the 50s (that sky diving thing they were doing was meant to be a sort of peace treaty thing between Warner Bros and Disney), but after Walt’s death — Mickey kinda went through some coorporate phase that he has never really recovered from. Less spirited, and dedicated to maintaining a clean rep.

Bugs and Mickey kinda just tolerated each other at best, but after going coorporate, Mickey was less inclined to interacting with the Looney tunes. So they both kinda buzzed off from each other. Bugs doesn’t have anything personal, but the coorporation gimmick and shitting on Disney is just funny to him. Mickey probably has a blacklist with his name on it. Daffy actually has it out for Donald. It’s not because of his speech impediment like he mentioned in Who Framed Roger Rabbit — he just doesn’t like another duck in the limelight. Plus, Donald’s angry quacking makes him an fun target for Daffy’s nonsense. Both are very forthright and emotionally volatile — but they bump heads when Daffy finds any way to insult Donald. He always instigates a fight. These two can’t be in the same room alone.

Daffy actually takes a liking to Goofy, both are weirdly of the same wavelength. They’ve had an overly long detailed explanation over what they think a “birfffffday” is when they were still pretty young. Daffy finds him hilarious, they find each others’ laughs contagious. Goofy just naturally gets along with a lot of temperamental ducks. If these two were alone together, they’d get up to some hijinks off-screen — with Daffy leading the charge and Goofy following along excitedly. In company of Mickey and/or Donald tho, it’s a little more awkward (Mickey/Donald would be the third wheel to the trio tho). Goofy up till now sometimes pronounces words the way Daffy said them to him because he legit thinks that’s how they are meant to be said.

Present day thoughts:

This surprisingly remains in tact for me. No further thoughts. The Mickey Mouse cartoons versions of them are slightly different from the meta versions of the Disney cast. If we were talking about the meta versions and the looney tunes interacting in that way, Daffy has his eyes strictly on Donald -- Donald is irrevocably the #1 most popular cartoon duck, and is arguably more liked than Mickey to this day.

Disney Magic Bands: It’s like magic!

New technological innovations have enhanced theme parks and resorts with digital experiences beginning in 2022 at Walt Disney World Resort. Using technology and offering services that resemble a unified and connected metaverse experience. For instance, their MagicBand is a bracelet that tracks guests and contains all their data, including tickets, keys, payments, and photo pass, to allow guests to move through their parks effortlessly.

The company unveiled two new technological achievements carrying its theme park and resort guest/visitors' imagination deep into the future- the MagicBand+, a wearable wrist-worn device. In addition, it has a voice assistant named "Hey, Disney!" In addition, Disney has created its own custom voice assistant using Alexa technology for supported Amazon Echo devices.

This voice assistant will work alongside Alexa to respond to vocal prompts, bringing Disney characters and stories to life in magical new ways to make guest stays more convenient, engaging, and enjoyable. “Hey, Disney!” will make the services Alexa users know and love weather forecasts, timers, alarms, etc. - magical with the assistance of popular characters such as Mickey Mouse, Olaf, C-3PO, and many more. 

A revolutionary device that will make the guest experience more convenient and hands-free, along with park and guest room entry, retail and dining Disney PhotoPass, and so much more. 

Once a guest enters a theme park, MagicBand+ will come alive at various times, along with color-changing lights, haptic vibrations, and gesture recognition, intensifying the environment’s immersive storytelling. The wearable device allows guests to engage with their favorite Disney moments in new ways and discover new interactive experiences, such as 

Play like a bounty hunter in a galaxy far, far away and find virtual bounties throughout Black Spire Outpost in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Interact with the “Disney Fab 50 Character Collection,” the golden sculptures spread throughout the Walt Disney World theme parks.

Experience nighttime spectaculars in a new way as they see their bands light up and complement the magic in the skies, including the new “Harmonious” at EPCOT and “Disney Enchantment” at Magic Kingdom Park.

The MagicBands, tech-studded wristbands, are available to every visitor to the Magic Kingdom. They even feature a long-range radio that can transmit more than 40 feet in every direction—bringing True Disney fans closer to the Metaverse and taking magic, imagination, and fun to another new level.
