4. Mickey Mouse – A rodent is one of the most recognizable brand ambassadors in the world. But not just any rodent. He's got oversized ears, white gloves, big yellow shoes and a joyous expression. Of course, it's the one and only Mickey Mouse. Thanks to him, Disney often ranks in the Top 10 most recognized brands worldwide. He's starred in scores of movies, had his own TV show/fan club, and actually has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It's been reported that he is in fact the most reproduced image – ever. More than Elvis Presley himself. (Thank ya, thank ya very much.)
Although there have been over 7,500 products bearing his likeness, the classic Mickey Mouse T-shirt is the true standard-bearer of Disney souvenirs. It's as classic as they come: Mickey with his hands behind his back, awe-shucks expression on his face. So innocent, yet so iconic. It could identify with any number of things in the Disney empire: the character himself, one of the Disney theme parks, the Mickey Mouse Club, etc. That simple T-shirt image has been given hundreds, if not thousands, of makeovers. He's been adorned in every conceivable sporting outfit, set inside every theme park and on every ride, and even given an edgier/skater dude vibe. While some incarnations may become passé over time, the classic Mickey remains timeless. And it's that for which the likes of Sponge Bob and company should be grateful.
