* ''WesternAnimation/BebesKids'' partially takes place at a pastiche of Disneyland called Fun World, with one of the park mascots being a clear stand-in for Mickey Mouse named Rodney Rodent. The film was based on a comedy routine by Creator/RobinHarris, which actually mentioned Ride/{{Disneyland}}, but was replaced with Fun World for the animated film [[SerialNumbersFiledOff for copyright reasons]].

* Jollibee, the mascot of the Filipino fast food restaurant chain of the same name, has Mickey Mouse-like features such as white gloves, yellow shoes and a round head with a cream face.

* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': Despite being originally based on ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}, Mario has a lot in common with Mickey, such as his name, falsetto voice, appearance (short stature, prominent gloves, shoes, buttoned overalls, and in a more meta example, facial features designed to make the most of his early medium's graphical limitations), personality (exuberant {{everyman}} deliberately kept simple so as to [[UniversalAdaptorCast accommodate a wide variety of roles]]), and status as the undisputed mascot of [[Creator/{{Nintendo}} his company]] and medium-defining pop-cultural icon. With the release of Ride/SuperNintendoWorld, he even has his own theme park!

** Itchy from the ShowWithinAShow ''WesternAnimation/ItchyAndScratchy'' is primarily based on [[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry Jerry]], but also has elements of Mickey Mouse, with ''Itchy and Scratchy''[[spoiler:'s falsely attributed]] creator Roger Meyers, Sr. being a [[MrAltDisney Walt Disney-esque figure]], Itchy and Scratchy Land being an obvious send-up of Disneyland and the first cartoon Itchy and Scratchy appeared in together being a spoof of ''WesternAnimation/SteamboatWillie'' with Itchy in the role of Mickey and Scratchy in the role of Pete.

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'' animated series featured a recurring villain named Bartholomew Batt, a cartoon bat who prided himself in being "[[CardCarryingVillain a typical cartoon bad guy]]" and had a theme park called Grizzlyland. He was often at odds with Beetlejuice because the Ghost with the Most wasn't that fond of his cartoons. Bartholomew Batt's debut episode also establishes the existence of a cartoon character BJ prefers to Batt named Louie Louse, who is [[BigCreepyCrawlies a giant insect]] wearing red shorts with two buttons on them.

** Subverted as they are actually based off Fleischer cartoons, not Disney.

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'': Sora is essentially Mickey Mouse in the form of a StockShonenHero, being a cheerful adventurer [[WholeCostumeReference clad in red shorts, yellow shoes, and white]] fingerless gloves. Uniquely, his {{best friend}}s are the actual Donald Duck and Goofy, with Mickey himself serving as the setting's BigGood.

* The original sketches for ''WebOriginal/HamstersParadise'' feature the mousey micks, a more realistic take on this trope (but still pretty tongue-in-cheek, especially for a SpeculativeBiology project like this). They would be the final sophonts that would emerge on the planet, and they would basically look like mouse-headed creatures with bipedal ape-like bodies. They would also domesticate dog-like creatures called "ploofies" and large flightless birds called "doneldonks".

Some cases may have the Mickey Mouse ersatz accompanied by parodies of Disney's other notable mascot characters (e.g. WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}, WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck, WesternAnimation/MinnieMouse, etc.) or be a combination of multiple Disney characters (for instance, a Donald Duck stand-in who dresses like Mickey Mouse). An important thing to note is that in UsefulNotes/TheThirties, [[FollowTheLeader it was common for other cartoon characters to emulate Mickey to some degree]], so only noteworthy examples from that era (i.e., ones that are ''blatantly'' copies of Mickey and actually resulted in legal action from Disney) will be addressed.

* The {{mascot}} of UsefulNotes/{{German|y}} theme park Ride/EuropaPark has [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/Euromaus.JPG Euromaus]], an anthropomorphic mouse with grey fur and big round ears.

Creator/{{Disney}}'s WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse is perhaps the most iconic cartoon character of all time, so it isn't surprising that there are a multitude of parodies and imitations of the character. Most imitations of Mickey Mouse have at least some of the following attributes:

Disney's WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse is perhaps the most iconic cartoon character of all time, so it isn't surprising that there are a multitude of parodies and imitations of the character. Most imitations of Mickey Mouse have at least some of the following attributes:

* A simple wardrobe of white gloves, round shoes that may be yellow and shorts that may or may not be colored red and/or have two buttons in front.

* Serve as a mascot of a fictional animation or entertainment company.
* Have their own amusement park.

* In the Literature/{{Discworld}}, Creator/TerryPratchett placed the world of Hollywood movies and entertainment into a fantasy setting, where Magic made everything possible and enabled a skewed parody of reality. The magic of Holy Wood renders several animals sentient, drawn to [[Literature/MovingPictures the Magic of the Moving Iconograph]]. One of the starstruck creatures is a mouse, who identifies himself as Squeak but manifests qualities of [[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry Jerry-ness]] and indeed Mickey-ness.

* The episode of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' guest-starring Petula Clark had a moose named Mickey show up at the theatre, winning over all the Muppets except Kermit. Mickey Moose was friends with a duck named Ronald, had a theme song that was very similar to the Mickey Mouse Club March, and gave the Muppets antler hats that evoke the famous mouse ear hats seen in the various Disney theme parks.

* Chad the Chipmunk of ''VideoGame/ThePark''. The chirpy-looking mascot of Atlantic Island Park, he was created by a fairly distinctive MrAltDisney in order to guarantee the attendance of children at the park. Chad most commonly appears in the form of an employee wearing a [[GoofySuit mascot suit]] - unfortunately leading to one of the park's most infamous incidents, in which a Chad the Chipmunk performer went mad and stabbed several teenagers to death with an icepick.

** "Historionics" shows Wizzly World founder [[MrAltDisney Uncle Wizzly]] activating an animatronic of Abraham Lincoln who wears white gloves and does a high-pitched laugh.

Disney's WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse is one of the most iconic cartoon characters in existence, so it isn't that surprising that there are a multitude of parodies and imitations of the character. Most imitations of Mickey Mouse have at least some of the following attributes:

* The title character of ''Manga/BillyBat'' is a [[{{Tulpa}} seemingly]] fictional character with own theme park, comic series, and television show, all lead by shady MrAltDisney Chuck Culkin.

* ''Manga/BillyBat'' is all about this and shows it in pretty much all its shapes. Billy Bat has his own theme park, comic series, television show, all lead by shady Walt Disney {{Expy}} Chuck Culkin.

* Be created by a MrAltDisney.

* Cuphead and Mugman from the video game ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'' have mostly black bodies, wear gloves, shoes and shorts as their only clothing and are constantly seen grinning.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', the ''Slappy Squirrel'' segment "One Flew Over the Cuckoo Clock" has Slappy get admitted into a retirement home after losing her memory. Parodies of classic cartoon characters are seen at the nursing home, including Rhena Rat, Doofy and Quacky Duck, who resemble elderly versions of Minnie Mouse, Goofy and Donald Duck respectively.

* ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' has the character Munchkin Mouse appear in "American Idol Parody Clip Show," who is based off Mickey Mouse with some WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales traits. He wears red overalls and yellow buttons similar to Mickey's pants and speaks with a high-pitched voice. The episode claims Munchkin [[RememberTheNewGuy had been on the show forever]] and shows a montage of him hanging out with the gang.
* Mikey Melon, a watermelon Donald hallucinates as being alive in the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' episode "Mooncation", was made to look and sound like Mickey Mouse and serve as Donald's best friend while he is stuck on an island, because the writers couldn't get permission to use the actual mouse.

* Creator/VanBeurenStudios infamously made two characters that imitated Mickey Mouse, one being Milton Mouse (who was almost visually indistinguishable from Mickey and ended up dropped after Disney threatened legal action) and the other being Cubby Bear. Both characters wore white gloves, round boots and shorts and even had love interests that were knockoffs of Mickey's love interest Minnie.

* Serve as a mascot of a fictional animation or entertainment company

* May be created by MrAltDisney
* Done in an InkblotCartoonStyle

Instances where it is very clearly Mickey Mouse himself (named or [[LawyerFriendlyCameo otherwise]]) depicted and not a pastiche of him are not this trope. Subtrope of FountainOfExpies.
