Additional Information

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.
