Mickey: The Story of a Mouse, on Disney+
Disney Wiki; IMDb; On Disney+; Rotten Tomatoes; Tremolo Productions; Wikipedia

This film gives us pretty much the whole history of the character Mickey Mouse. It does mention some of the problematic ways Mickey has been used, but mostly it celebrates the character and his creator, Walt Disney, as American icons. Toward the end of the documentary we get to see a short film called "Mickey in a Minute". I don't really know what else to say. I've never been a huge fan of the character, nor did I have anything against him. He's just always sort of been there, as an important part of pop culture. But I found the documentary reasonably interesting, at least enough to devote an hour and a half of my life to watching it. Even if it is mostly propaganda for the Disney company.
