message: I'm removing the line that says there are a total of 24 known hidden mickeys since there are quite a bit more than just 24.  (The list here alone contains 25 at the time of my writing this:)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.190.86.211 (talk) 18:15, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The Apple Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White) computer has what certainly looks like a "Hidden Mickey" on the side panel, where the "bite" of the Apple logo and the inner curve of the "3" of "G3" meet, as shown in this image:

thread_title: 'Tron' listed twice

message: I watched the scene in the Pixar movie 'The Incredibles'  that supposedly contains a Mickey (52:52 in the cave).  A stalactite bisecting the arch of the cave does give the appearance of two circles, it's hardly a clear Mickey.  More importantly, given bitter relationship beween Pixar and Disney during the time the film was being made, I hardly think that any of the Pixar animators would want to give such a nod to the mouse.
There is, in fact, plenty of Mickeys in Incredibles..

message: While providing proper references or citations for these hidden mickeys, does anyone have a good suggestion on how to actually go about this task? What would be the best way to "cite" these? 
Perhaps a better idea would be to refocus the article on what a hidden mickey is, and provide a few, select examples. There is no need to recreate what many websites exist to document. Your thoughts? Might I be so WP:BRD to implement this next week? Tiggerjay (talk) 00:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I definitely agree.  Some of the hidden mickeys listed are questionable, to say the least, and listing so many seems a little trivial.  I think it would be more appropriate to reformat it in the way you've proposed and possibly provide a link to a single reliable site dedicated to the documentation of hidden mickeys.

replies: text: I agree, the list is totally unnecessary, as is the article itself.  But if this article were to stay, there should be a distinction between intentional (purposefully put in an attraction by an imagineer, for example) versus unintentional (such as shown in the picture with the moss on the rock -- that is nature's doing and is therefore not "hidden").

message: Lists of hidden Mickeys are probably not appropriate for wikipedia.  Listing a couple major example in prose would be fine, but big lists should be avoided as they tend to attract additions and accumulate. --Lendorien (talk) 15:10, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  The list is exhaustive and unnecessary.  It seems that the "Examples" listed are prompting people to come to this discussion page and add the ones not listed.  Should we delete? Cactusjump (talk) 19:52, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I wrote a 2009 book about Hidden Mickeys in Disneyland (Amazon listing). Obviously, I'm not going to add it to the article per WP:COI, but if someone else feels that it would be a valuable addition, I'd be happy to provide any additional information necessary. --Alan Joyce (talk) 10:52, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Is there really a Hidden Mickey in :File:Hidden mickey totem pole.jpg? I'm finding it hard to see one, which suggests it may not be a very illustrative image (or at least needs a clearer caption). --McGeddon (talk) 15:54, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I just removed this strange paragraph from the History section. Leaving it here in case it's of any use to anyone. The reference link at the end is a 404 btw.
:Hidden Mickeys started out as inside jokes among the Disney Imagineers. The Disney official history goes like this: Hidden Mickeys started in the late 1980’s in Epcot as an inside joke among the Imagineers. Hiding Mickey around WDW was just plain fun! However, Jim Hill (jimhillmedia.com) believes in this "unofficial history": Hidden Mickeys were born as the Imagineers were designing Epcot in the late 1970's and early 1980's. At that time,  Disney management felt that the characters belonged in the Magic Kingdom only. The Imagineers disagreed and began slipping Mickeys into Epcot! I suspect that Mickey Mouse designs that were previously in place in WDW (and Disneyland) also became known as Hidden Mickeys. Because of the popularity of HM’s, Imagineers are encouraged to place them in new construction.

message: I propose that Hidden Mickey 50 Ears be merged into Hidden Mickey. I think that the content in the 50 Ears article can easily be explained in the context of Hidden Mickey, and the Hidden Mickey article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Hidden Mickey 50 Ears will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.
