"Evil corporate mascot Mickey Mouse" is such a boring and unfunny take imo. Why direct frustration and anger at Disney towards a literal cartoon character instead of the actual people in charge?
"Fed up toon icon Mickey Mouse who hates current Disney more than anyone else?" Much more funny and accurate to Mickey's character. Actively turns Disney's own mascot, and one of their most well-known and beloved characters, against them. Mickey Mouse says that pirating and buying fanmade merch is always morally okay. He's counting the seconds until he finally escapes into the public domain.
Thomas, there's a mouse in the house. But don't worry, Thomas, this isn't a problem, as this isn't just any mouse. This little pal is more than welcome in our house, as it happens. That is because this here is Mickey Mouse, and our smiley rodent friend is here to stay.

I was going to make a Godzilla animatic of this exact scene but discarded the idea later (wasn't sure whether we were allowed to use the audio without getting a copyright strike idk)
you can drink, you can swear, you can be gay if you want.
you can find out being gay isn't really your fit, but you were free to try.
or maybe it is, and now you can kiss anyone.
you can try on clothes they never let you before.
you can be angry, you can carry a knife.
you can be loud, you can carry flowers.
you can be mean. you can be kind. you can deny god and all He was.
you can spend a quiet evening at home, you can have sex.
you can love yourself and hate yourself and do anything.
you don't have to give a single shit about "family values."
you can be anything.
you are free.
you are freer than you've ever been.
freer than they ever wanted you to be.

This is probably the best time to share that Masanori Sato, the artist for the Mario & Luigi games, shared some crossover art on his instagram a while back and...
It is probably one of my favorite things in the world.
Honestly makes me want a crossover game some day though it is unlikely to happen.
