Say Goodbye: Damn Mouse


I am not a fan of Disney.

Here's a good primer as to why. I suggest picking up the book. (Or any of Carl Hiaasen's books. The man is hilarious.)

Not being a fan of Disney makes it difficult to be a fan of these dolls. See my problem?

Two of the three actually are wearing tiny Mickey ears and, apparently, the dolls have been on recent visits to one of the parks. The third is just a celebration of the mouse himself.

It's not the best mash-up of brands, in my opinion.



Disliking Disney as I do, how did I come by three separate Disney-themed Barbie dolls? No idea. I could not tell you how each of them came into my possession, which is another problem.

If I had to pick, I'd choose the doll below as my favorite of the three, simply because it's the oldest and has been in my collection the longest.

  2. Too funny! "Damn Mouse". Are you selling them or giving them to some deserving child? I wasn't a Disney fan either...until I went there at the tender age of 26. I am 43 now, and that is still one of the most remarkable experiences I have ever had. I imagine, just like the majority of those corporate billionaires, there are a lot of people that get stepped on along the way. It's all sort of sad. I guess at least with Disney his creations can bring incredible joy to people. Hmmm, I feel like watching my all time favorite movie, Toy Story now. I am such a big kid.

  3. I have somewhere around 350, I think. I haven't checked my official total in awhile. You probably noticed, but I'm trimming down my collection. I sorted out some of the ones I want to sell, but I haven't gotten around to selling them yet. Not sure what my revised total will be after they are gone.
