Pirate Mickey and Friends

Dressed in pirate gear, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy surround a treasure box filled with gold. The scene is set against a background of purple and pink stripes.

Mickey Mouse is one of Disney’s most recognizable characters. His companions Donald Duck and Goofy are other members of what’s known as the “Sensational Six”: the main group of characters crafted by Walt Disney. Pirate attire has been linked to Mickey Mouse in a number of narratives, including an episode called “Pirate Adventure” in the children’s television show Mickey Mouse Funhouse in 2022. This particular image and outfit are from a series of multiple buttons  that collectors attribute to being created in the 1990s. The illustration of Mickey in the polka dotted bandana and red poet shirt was revived for a limited edition Pirates of the Caribbean silk screen printed piece of art for the Walt Disney Art Classics Convention held in 2000 at Walt Disney World.
