    Donald got comics in Sweden that characterized him completely differently than how he’s shown in the US. I think he’s a much better character there.

      Donald was always a more appealing character to me than Mickey Mouse because he’s so relateable. He has trouble with love and with money and he’s impulsive and impatient.
      Mickey, on the other hand, is such a nothing-character. He’s basically just a brand mascot at this point, with no recognizeable character traits.
      And while there are iterations of Mickey that actually give him a personality, it’s much less consistent than Donald.
