Yeah, Jacca, I watched it last night. I love that show.

They said in the story that there was no record of a legal fight between Performo and Disney. Plus, how many clever names can you have for a mouse? Mickey/Micky Mouse seems like an obvious one on anybody's short list so it doesn't seem too surprising that they ended up with the same name.

I saw it too. That was cool. When they first started investigating it I thought it was going to be something that brought down Disney. Then when they had the collector on and he showed how many different mouse characters there were at that time......Man that was a lot. I can see how the guy would have thought that it was the original Mickey Mouse.

It amazing that out of all the mice of that era that Mickey became the start of all of what we love so much today.
