The Sorcerer’s Apprentice from Fantasia – It would easily take the number one spot if it didn’t overlap with the #2 rule.Mickey, Donald and Goofy in The Three Musketeers – If I were including full-length films on the list, this would be in the top five, bar none.Now before we get to the countdown, here are a few Honorable Mentions: I thought of excluding any short that ran over the usual length of five to seven minutes to about twenty, but that made my job even harder.

This means no Mickey and the Beanstalk from Fun and Fancy Free or various bits from Mickey’s Once/Twice Upon A Christmas, but sadly no Sorcerer’s Apprentice from Fantasia. Shorts only, no segments from full-length films or direct-to-video works.– or has his face in the intro that advertises it as his adventure, but upon watching you find they’re really about Donald, Goofy or Pluto or literally anyone else but him. There’s a lot of great shorts out there that has Mickey’s name in the title – Mickey’s Parrot, Mickey’s Circus, Mickey’s Birthday, Mickey and the Seal, Mickey’s Christmas Carol, etc. Mickey is the main focus, or at the very least he must be given as much to do as the other characters he shares the cartoon with.There were only two rules I set while making this list: Why 20? Because I couldn’t narrow it down to ten and I like to go nine steps beyond as opposed to one. In the spirit of Mickey celebrating his 90th birthday, I’d like to share with you my 20 favorite shorts he starred in. I know this is making me sound like one of those cheesy sponsors reading off a cue card, but when you’re talking about a mouse, expect plenty of cheese to be involved. In childhood, he was an icon and friend – instantly recognizable, a source of joy and entertainment, a hero and a role model. As a lifelong Disney fan I can’t understate how much of an impact Mickey Mouse has had on me.
