SummaryOne of the world’s most beloved icons, Mickey Mouse is recognized as a symbol of joy and childhood innocence in virtually every corner of the globe. Dreamed up at a low point in Walt Disney’s burgeoning career, Mickey became an overnight sensation when he starred in the first synch-sound animated short, Steamboat Willie.

It’s a fitting tribute to Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse and makes you long for a time when storytelling was someone just telling a story.

It’s still an eye-opener, especially for the casual fan who hasn’t devoured all the many books on Early Disney as a subject and Mickey as a character, a corporate brand and a cultural touchstone.

It’s boosterish and jam-packed, like many pop-culture documentaries (not just ones produced by Disney about Disney).

Much like the nature of the park which Mickey calls home, the film is a glossed-over and superficial history.

For all its faults, Mickey: The Story of a Mouse is at times a charming look at one of the biggest icons of our time, and while this story has been told many times before, it’s never been told with the sort of scope and frankness about how Disney has maybe failed with their mascot.

For Disney fans, the film’s insider access and easygoing themes will make it an enjoyable watch. For Disney skeptics, I suspect the overtly positive Disney-centered, Disney-made, Disney-streamed documentary can, at times, act as the perfect validation of one’s skepticism.

Malmberg’s documentary is quick to gloss over rough patches in both Mickey and Disney’s shared histories.

A Disney certamente já está sacramentada como importante pilar na história do entretenimento mundial e não à toa é muito fácil fazer do seu criador, Walter, uma figura icônica, por vezes até forçosamente carismática. E é o que o documentário faz em todos os seus 89 minutos, criando um apelo superficial baseado em um tom de veneração constante.
É claro que um documentário não precisa ser sempre uma exposição de podres ou polêmico. Acontece que passar 1 hora e meia submetido a uma espécie de propaganda forçada mostra que não tem lá muita história do que contar. Tirando uma ou outra informação sobre o Mickey Mouse e as estratégias de marketing envolvidas logo no início, o filme gasta seu tempo relembrando como é rico aquele universo.
A transação para cores e acompanhar o trabalho dos desenhistas também garantiram uma certa dose de empatia e respeito minha ao filme. Poderia sim ter caprichado melhor no roteiro, contar uma história mais verdadeira e não plastificada. Mas se você ama a Disny de todo o coração, se emociona com s personagens, princesas, e todo o seu mundo mágico, talvez o documentário possa lhe conquistar. Talvez.
