Mickey Mouse (2018 film)

Mickey Mouse is an American traditionally animated feature film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, and was release on November 18, 2015. 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 Bob Iger at the 2013 D23 Expo. It was written and directed by Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh (the creators of Phineas and Ferb), and produced by Burny Mattinson (who came up with the original idea, and also helped Povenmire and Marsh co-write the script) and John Lasseter, with original music being provided by Randy Newman. 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. Most of the entire voice cast for Mickey and his friends (Bret Iwan as Mickey, Russi Taylor as Minnie, Tony Anselmo as Donald, and Bill Farmer as Goofy and Pluto) reprise their respective character roles, while Tress MacNielle has been replaced by Selena Gomez of Wizards of Waverly Place fame as the voice of Daisy. China Anne McClain, the star of the Disney Channel series A.N.T. Farm, 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 95% "Certified Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Plot
in the late 1920s, Mickey Mouse moves with his trusty dog Pluto to a new neighborhood in Southern California after being tired of life on a farm in rural Missouri. While making the big move, Mickey doesn't think he will fit in at first, but later makes friends with some new neighbors, Minnie Mouse (whom later becomes his girlfriend), her best friend Daisy Duck (a diner owner), Daisy's boyfriend Donald, and Donald's best friend, Goofy. However, there is also trouble ahead for Mickey in his new hometown... a ruthless criminal, the notorious Peg Leg Pete, has escaped from prison after being arrested for robbing a bank. Throught the film, Mickey learns that no matter you think things look bad, no matter what obstacle you may face, you will always have friends to support you along the way.
