Mickey Mouse represents the “American Dream”. Mickey Mouse was an idea sketched out on to a piece of paper that turned into a goal that Walt believed in. Mickey was something for Walt to believe in. He was having financial troubles and Mickey Mouse made him rich. Mickey got Walt going, if that mouse never scurried past him on the train, who knows what Walt would have done with his career. America is very imperialistic. In the USA, we want to conquer and be the best. Mickey Mouse is a symbol because he conquered the cartoon world and became the best known cartoon ever. In America you have to be the best to succeed therefore you need to be Mickey Mouse. He represents American ideals by keeping his innocence. Mickey is always appropriate, fun, and happy. That is why Mickey Mouse is so popular!
