Just some observation[edit]

This article is a straight-up mess. What are the classifications for characters being mentioned. It talks about Horace, but doesn't have a bio. It talks about the "farm" but even Mickey refers to it at the barnyard. This article is in need of a major reworking. The info is good but it makes no sense as an article. And someone further down said that it makes very little distinction between the comic book world and the film/TV world. Agreed. This article is not representative of what wiki is all about.

Untitled[edit]

Eh-uhmm? Is Daisy Duck really a part of the Mickey Mouse universe, more than Donald?

Salty's debut[edit]

Salty debuted in Mickey's Circus.

Rename this article[edit]

I think this should be renamed from "Mickey Mouse universe" to "Mickey Mouse & Friends". Mickey Mouse & Friends is the official name Disney uses for the universe with Mickey and his pals. The name is already used on the infobox so why not the article name itself? Abuelo456 (talk) 19:18, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Mickey Mose & Friends" is actually the term used to design the combination of the Mickey Mouse universe and the Donald Duck universe. The term is mostly used when it comes to animation, since the boundaries between these two universes are less rigid and the characters often appear together, but the distinction is very important when it comes to comics. I think the article should be updated to explain this. --Newblackwhite (talk) 12:34, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article talks extensively about the "Mickey Mouse universe" rather than a particular franchise. ''Mickey Mouse & Friends'' is marketing-speak and sounds like the title of a series. Renaming the article would be confusing for readers. Toughpigs (talk) 18:00, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pluto[edit]

Shouldn't Pluto be moved to the section "Non-anthropomorphic supporting characters"? After all, he's the only non-anthropomorphic character listed in any other section than that one. JIP | Talk 22:03, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think he's in the "Protagonists" section because he's a lead character; that section isn't split up into anthropomorphic vs not. Toughpigs (talk) 22:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mickey's cousin in "Love Trouble"[edit]

Mickey's cousin in "Love Trouble" was named Millicent van Giltmouse, not Madeline. This is evident in the dialogue throughout the story. 32.215.234.97 (talk) 13:27, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
