==Summary==
Mickey Mouse & Friends is a cartoon franchise following the adventures of Mickey Mouse and his lively toon companions. Over the years, the franchise has grown and has become multi-media, creating a shared universe in which not only Mickey and the gang inhabit, but a plentiful amount of characters from the Disney Animated Canon as well.
Mickey Mouse was first created in 1928 with the release of the short Plane Crazy and its more popular, and revolutionary successor, Steamboat Willie. Although Mickey seemed to be where this franchise started, with later installments including Oswald the Lucky Rabbit into the canon, the Oswald shorts are the earliest installments in the works. In 1930, the world of Mickey and his friends were expanded in a comic strip made by Floyd Gottfredson which was integrated heavily into the shorts and later works. Mickey and his friends, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Pluto to name a few, would go on to release a multitude of shorts in black and white. Though in 1935 with the release of The Band Concert, the shorts would be released featured in color to massive acclaim. He would also appear in feature films made by Disney, such as Fantasia in which he played the part of The Sorcerer's Apprentice. By 1953, the animated shorts would halt with the last entry of The Simple Things before Mickey mostly became known for appearances on television like The Mickey Mouse Club. However, the shorts continued albeit in a much different way with Mickey starring in adaptations of A Christmas Carol in 1983 and The Prince and the Pauper in 1990, though in far shorter supply. The last short for hardly two decades would be Runaway Brain in 1995, which premiered before A Kid in King Arthur's Court and A Goofy Movie. The last short to date was Get A Horse in 2013.
Throughout the 80's to 90's, Mickey's world was heavily expanded. While non-canon to Warner Bros's Looney Tunes, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, which released in 1988, gave us a more concrete look on what the world of Toons was like as actors, a concept already established as far back as the Gottfredson comics. Toons are stated to be a different organism from humans altogether and have powers and physiques that make them nearly impossible to kill. The film follows a cartoon rabbit named Roger and detective Eddie Valiant as they attempt to solve a murder of which the former has been framed. Since its release, Disney has been all too vocal about its connections to Mickey, who made an appearance alongside Bugs Bunny in the film, as well as several other Disney characters. Benny the Cab, a character in the film, would go on to make appearances in other Mickey works, and the established setting of Toontown would not only be integrated into the canon, but have it's own designated area in Disneyland with it's own attraction, Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin.
Mickey's world would also be expanded upon in multiple Disney Afternoon cartoon series from the late 80's to 90's including DuckTales, Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, Bonkers, and Quack Pack. Max, who debuted in Goof Troop, would go on to make multiple more appearances in Mickey's world after his initial appearance such as the A Goofy Movie series. Mickey would also see several direct-to-video movies set in this universe such as Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas and Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers.
In 1999, Mickey would be given more traditional shorts once again in the form of Mickey Mouse Works, which premiered cartoons featuring him and his friends getting into toon mayhem in anthological segments. After its premiere, 2001 would see House of Mouse airing, which was a massive crossover of nearly every single work in the Disney Animated Canon set in Mickey's world. The titular mouse was a host of a club which showed repackaging of the Mickey Mouse Works cartoons with some new segments in-between featuring the gang and multiple other Disney characters getting into antics.
In 2010, Epic Mickey released, a video game which not only canonized all of Mickey's history, taking place some time after The Prince and the Pauper short, but Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and multiple other "forgotten" characters. Yen Sid, the magician from The Sorcerer's Apprentice, had created a magical world in which forgotten toons and concepts could exist. However, due to an accident created by Mickey, an evil creature called The Blot was created, and ravaged the world, along with a deadly substance called Thinner, which together turned the kingdom into a Wasteland. Mickey, having been captured by the Blot and dragged inside the Wasteland, must atone for his mistakes and make the land a better place. The Wasteland itself, in-canon, was based fully on Disneyland, with multiple places, areas, and items being direct call-backs to attractions, if in distorted form. This would mean that Disneyland and its rides are also in this continuity. The game also features plentiful of Mickey's old cartoons, connecting them to his past. Epic Mickey would go on to gain two sequels. Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, which canonized the 1990 Sega Genesis game Castle of Illusion: Starring Mickey Mouse as well as starred multiple other Disney characters, categorized as toons. And Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, which continued Mickey's adventures in the Wasteland with Oswald as a playable character.
In 2013, a new Mickey cartoon series was created, under the hand of Paul Rudish, simply called Mickey Mouse. Like Mouse Works, the show took a more traditional anthological approach to the cartoons while also displaying homages to Mickey's history all throughout, even including the history of Disney films and attractions as well. The shorts would continue until 2018 where its series finale was made. In 2020, the series was continued with The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse until 2023 when it's series finale premiered with a special to coincide with Mickey's 100th birthday, Steamboat Silly.

==Power of the Verse==
This verse has major usage of cartoon physics. As stated in Roger Rabbit, Toons are nearly impossible to kill because of this as their physiology allows them to come back from nearly any lethal punishment sans Thinner and The Dip. The verse currently sits at Large Building level with characters like Donald able to achieve Massively Hypersonic+ travel speeds and Mickey achieving Sub-Relativistic reaction speeds. However, with enough Toon Heart Power, Mickey can achieve a Multi-Solar System level of power. Cartoon physics allow for a great amount of hax and magic including Elasticity, Teleportation, Regeneration, and Subjective Reality to name a few.
