Dreaming of a Mickey Mouse movie (part 8/?)

Man, it's been a while. But we still have ideas to share! Let's talk motivations and Casey!

A: I've been trying to think about motivations. Imagine the situation: Mickey just went through the first death trap set up by the Phantom Blot. Mickey didn't know what he was getting into. He didn't expect it to be that dangerous. He was just there to investigate the camera thefts! And now this! Wouldn't he want to just drop everything and go back to his normal, boring, but safe life? Wouldn't the mouse just leave this case to the professionals?

So I had to think, what would make him want to keep going and keep digging after such a shocking event. Then I thought more about Mickey. I need to view it through his eyes after all. And he's a mouse desperate for a chance to do something meaningful and worthwhile, something good. And he's also a mouse yearning for adventure. He's read and watched all these heroes and detectives fight evil and come out victorious. But Mickey never saw himself fit for adventures like these... until now.

Now, when he got out of a dangerous trap, when he did the impossible, when he survived - that's just incredible! He, Mickey Mouse, survived that! And he is suddenly filled with this adrenaline and somehow joy and pride? Because he finally did something cool, like his favorite story protagonists! And that's something Mickey won't let go easily.

But Detective Casey isn't having it. First Chief O'Hara takes this absolute nobody - let alone a journalist! - on the case, then the mouse gets kidnapped and they're forced to drop everything to go find this guy, and THEN he just shows up and keeps acting like he's a detective?! No way! Not only is Casey mad that he gets overlooked because of Mickey, but he also thinks the mouse is way out of his league and only slows them, the real detectives (especially Casey), down. Casey thinks that Mickey will just get himself into danger again, forcing the cops to stop working on this Very Important Case (that Casey's reputation in O'Hara's eyes depends on) and go looking for him. For the mouse that thinks he's some kind of hero who's cut out for this line of work.

Soooo yeah, that's sure to cause tension between these two.

The fact that we have a kinda regular cast member in Disney parodies (ok, only Carpi ones, but even Bum Bum is a strictly Mastantuono character, these things happen) who hasn't an alter ego in the "real" world, baffles me.

Who are you, Yanez/Javert?

Drusilla redesign because last time I drew her, I stuck too much by her canon appearance and ended up not being satisfied with that result. So here she is again! Simply your local mind-controlling-immortal lady

On a side unrelated note, skeleton key! Because I loved this so so much when I saw it

And "don't bother me with details!" because I love Goofy

The Disney Siblings Three-Legged Race

I was thinking about the amount of Disney characters who happen to have siblings (excluding the ones to were born as groups of siblings, as HDL and AMJ). I realized that the number isn't neglegible, as basically kinda all the main characters have some. So... why not organizing a three-legged race?

(sorry @iloverumpusmcfowl, but as the McDucks are an odd number, I excluded the more niche one)

Spanish posting translation below the cut

Chief O'Hara: You all are under arrest! Chief O'Hara: Awwww, fine, you're free to go Phantom Blot: How did you do that?? Portis: Pretend to be cutey and that's all Chief O'Hara: Stop making a fool of yourself, Blot, you're under arrest

Our amazing bestie @skazkaai gifted us a real treasure! 💖💖💖 Seriously, we still can't comprehend how they found an italian toy (at least so it says on the package) in an online store. It's incredible!

More close-ups on the box under the cut, because the box is genuinely so beautiful that we don't want to throw it away.

The comic panels on the inside is the best part tbh

Phantom blot doodles! (+Mickey)

I’m trying to redraw/learn how to draw him once again (cause my first one was… yeah. It was somethin’)

Duckvember Day 11: Mechanical Duck

Little B.O.Y.D. has had some minor glitches in his system. But kind and sweet Lyla Lay has decided to help him, after all she is a very advanced android.

But nothing is free in this life. So in exchange for helping him, she hopes that the sweet boy will actually give her the location of the famous hero: Duck Avenger (Paperinik).

I need to be able to read more of the Ducks' comics, they have some amazing universes. Especially the super hero version of Donald.

[the-scanlation-bin]

I see a lot of people post the panel of Donald getting shot to death for funnies but I don't think nearly enough people include the panel immediately after where Donald's reaction to hearing about his own untimely demise is to look directly at the camera and go :(

The Mouses' Birthday...

I think Mickey and Minnie, like in real life, have the same birthday. And they will definitely find out about it.

Let's say they would cross paths at the supermarket when they were buying ingredients for a birthday cake and decorations. Or rather, Minnie was buying ingredients, Mickey and Manon - a ready-made cake, because Mickey is not a good baker.

Minnie: - Are you celebrating something?

Mickey: - We're getting ready for it. Tomorrow is my birthday.

Minnie: - Really?! Me too!😊

And I think that when Mickey and Minnie found out that they have the same birthday, they came up with the same idea - to please each other with a small gift. By that time they had already become good friends, so why not congratulate each other not only with words, since everything worked out that way?

And, yes, they did not celebrate the birthday together, but celebrated with their families (both Mickey and Minnie already had plans for this day). But I think that after the holidays they would meet and give each other gifts. Mickey would give flowers and, for example, a small set of pencils or paints so that Minnie could continue drawing sketches of clothes. And Minnie in turn would give along with the bouquet... Let's say, a nice bow tie. Which she decorated a little with embroidery or small rhinestones - a festive tie.

These are spontaneous thoughts about Mickey and Minnie's birthday in this AU.

He's the feather. He's the ink.

Welcome to your nightmare, Phantom Blot.

What do you think a Mickey Mouse animated series should be like?

I have actually made quite a few posts about this. Heck, I'm even planning and writing an entire fanfiction about it, lol.

shameless plug

To break it down, essentially I would love an animated series that leans into the more adventure and mystery side of Mickey Mouse that is more prevalent in the comics. I feel like this is something that was never truly explored in animated format and would be something new for people who haven't really read the comics and really kind of shift how Mickey is typically seen.

Plus there are a ton of great comic characters that never get the light of day who really deserve it. I mean we may get a cameo and a reference every once and a while, but never really a show or even short just dedicated to the Mouseverse comics. Honestly, I really feel like Mickey's Rogues Gallery would be really popular. And if you know me, I am for anything that will truly allow the Phantom Blot to shine as he should. But even other characters like Morty, Ferdie, Felicity Fieldmouse, Aunt Melinda, Butch, O'Hara, and honestly so many more also deserve solid animated appearances.

But while I am writing a take on this idea, I can actually see this specific idea going a variety of ways. Honestly, the version I'm writing is just one of many ideas I've had. In fact, I'm not alone in having the same or similar ideas. Many of my friends and their blogs like @alioks-blog, @storiesfrommouseton, @local-meme-lord, @sunny1927, and @thebackupdetectives, have been sharing their own ideas on how a show like this would work. I would honestly check them out.

But yeah, tldr: Something based off of the comics.
