For the icon of the whole company, Disney doesn't treat the character with any respect. When was the last time even Disney fans were excited about a new Mickey release? It's all direct to home video CGI films for young kids, and it's a less detailed render than the first Toy Story.

Compare to how Nintendo treats Mario or Zelda. They're active, prominent characters with real releases.

Disney is the reason copyrights last as long as they do but you'll note that they didn't bother trying to extend it this time with Steamboat Willie.

Ask anyone under 18 what franchise they think of when they hear "Disney" and it almost definitely won't be any of the Disney characters we grew up with. Nintendo has been actively diversifying their IP for decades knowing that eventually they'll lose the classics
