That "Mouse"

I guess it never really will matter how many generations go by - but the one thing that just seems to get better and better - is that Mouse. I'm trying not to make television a habit, but to be honest, the t.v. is on quite a bit. I'm gonna try and work on changing that. Yes, I can admit my faults. But anyways, what is it that is so captivating to the young about Mickey Mouse and his friends? It captivated me, I love Disney and can't wait to go back to the parks. Ariyana doesn't do this with any other show, but Mickey's Playhouse.
