List of characters in Mickey Mouse: Adventures in Disneyville

This is a  list of characters from Mickey Mouse: Adventures in Disneyville, an animated television series based on the Mickey Mouse & Friends franchise created by American multimedia conglomerate Disney. The series features characters and settings developed by Paul Rudish, who sought to create more in-depth characters than the stereotypical "corporte" icons used in previous iterations of the franchise. The series premiered on June 21, 2023, in the United States and concluded on October 12, 2019.

The characters have been generally well-received by television critics and parental groups and are cited as one of the reasons the series' older fans, called "mouseketeers", became attracted to the series.

Creation and Conception
Disney initially hired Rudish to create a pitch bible for the series, allowing him to get additional help with ideas and conceptualization. Rudish said he was "extremely sceptical" about taking the job at first because he had always found animated series based on "niche franchises" to be downtrodden and overlooked. He was disappointed by how it was being treated and that what he thought of the original films at the time was nothing like the modern animated shorts, in which the characters, according to him, "just hosted generic preschool content, danced over nothing, had unnaturally healthy relationships, goofed around doing simple tasks and overcame obstacles by displaying goofy hijinks". With the chance to work with Mickey Mouse, one of the most iconic cartoon characters in the world, he hoped to prove that "cartoons for families don't have to be specifically sweet, silly mush for little 4-year old children who still lived their mothers" like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. To do this, he incorporated many elements into the show that subverted character stereotypes of many modern animated films, such as diverse personalities, character flaws, personality disorders, the message that life doesn't always turn out the way one planned and the idea that nobody should be limited by what others say they can or cannot do. Elements of the characters' personalities and the series' settings were based on his childhood imagination of Mickey's adventures, and the many trips he took to Disneyland, in part inspired by series such as Top Cat (1961) and The Bugs Bunny Show (1960-2000) which he and his brothers watched, and the many films in the Disney Animated Canon and beyond, such as Pinocchio and The Lion King. According to Rudish, he was making Adventures in Disneyville "for [himself] as an eight-year-old". Rudish still aimed for the characters to be "relatable" characters, using stereotypical "corporate iconography" to broaden their appeal to a young modern audience.

The Spectacular Seven
Mickey Mouse: Adventures in Disneyville mainly focuses on seven core toon characters, identified as the "Spectacular Seven", a group of friends who are eventually brought together by the "Forces of Wonder", a set of seven mystical gemstones and a "powerful force of good" used to defend Disneyville against powerful threats.

The seven toons all have pear-shaped bodies, rounded heads, bendy limbs, and la ack of realistic animal features. Rudish preferred them to retain their rubber hose designs rather than realism, meaning fewer body parts were needed.

Each toon character was slightly re-envisioned to represent a different force and positive aspect of the Walt Disney Company's core message: dedication (Donald Duck), self-expression (Daisy Duck), resourcefulness (Oswald the Lucky Rabbit), humour (Goofy), loyalty (Pluto), and generosity (Minnie Mouse), which come together to form the seventh force of "imagination" (Mickey Mouse).
