The film is based on the Mickey Mouse character originally created in 1928 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, and was announced by Walt Disney Company CEO Tom Staggs at the 2021 D23 Expo. It is the 58th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics canon, and the first entry in the Mickey Mouse Cinematic Universe. It was written and directed by Stephen J. Anderson and Burny Mattinson, (the latter of which also produced the film came up with the original idea) with John Lasseter serving as executive producer, with original music provided by Michael Giacchino. It is also the very first full-length animated feature from Disney to use Meander, an in-house animation system used to combine 2D and 3D animation. This was also the last Walt Disney Animation Studios production that animation veteran Burny Mattinson was involved in after his death from natural causes in 2022. The film is dedicated to his memory. The film focuses on Mickey as he moves into a small town in California and befriends Donald Duck and Goofy, falls in love with Minnie Mouse, meets Minnie's friend Daisy Duck (who happens to own a diner named "Daisy's Diner"), and also makes enemies with the notorious criminal Peg Leg Pete who wish to take over the rest of the toons in Toontown. Most of the entire voice cast for Mickey and his friends ( Bret Iwan as Mickey, Russi Taylor as Minnie, Tony Anselmo as Donald, Tress MacNeille as Daisy and Bill Farmer as Goofy and Pluto) reprise their respective character roles, while Tress MacNielle has been replaced by Christy Carlson Romano of Even Stevens and Kim Possible fame as the voice of Daisy. Pop singer Zendaya sings her own rendition of Mickey Mouse March (the theme song to the original Mickey Mouse Club television series) for the film's end credits and soundtrack album. The film was a huge box office success, and was praised by critics, garnering a 93% "Certified Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. A sequel, Mickey Mouse 2, was released on March 8, 2023.
