Donald's only been in two episodes..and Goofy and Daisy have appeared as well but mostly just as cameos with no real role. Pluto and Pete haven't even appeared yet...sure Minnie's had some starring roles alongside Mickey, but that's to be expected..That's not to say I'm not enjoying the series so far though, trust me I am.

Well, isn't the idea that they're trying to get Mickey's image back in order? Remember what I said earlier about the term "Mickey Mouse" having become derisive, as a synonym for "wimpy"? Why use the other characters too much when they don't have the same poor image?

Because they're well known beloved Disney characters who are apart of the Mickey Mouse series..Not to mention that they promoted all the characters so much in interviews and whatnot...and besides, a good main character needs good supporting characters. I'm not saying I hate Mickey by himself or anything like that, but IMO, it just gets a bit boring without the other characters around.
