I don&#x27;t see Disney really making a huge amount off Mickey Mouse.  Mickey is mostly just the corporate mascot.<p>I have no problem, though, with makers of cartoon animals making bunches of money. They provide happiness.  I&#x27;m glad I live in a day and age where it isn&#x27;t just the people who can make the best weapons that do well for themselves.<p>I&#x27;m sure there are more &quot;noble&quot; pursuits, but....how many people actually participate in them? Most people seem to just move money from one place to another, while grabbing a bit for themselves in the process.<p>For what it is worth, though, the cartoon animals that bring the most joy into my family are those on the cartoon Peppa Pig (I have a two year old daughter, but I find that I enjoy it myself, albeit on a somewhat different level).  I hear the people who make it are making a killing, and rightfully so, in my opinion.
