This is exactly what I want to see. I wanna see them take a torch to everything you love about these characters and show just how horrifically wrong it can go with this license. lol
Be careful what you wish for

Probably in development hell. Plus those characters don't really have a coveted origin story, and Mickey is kinda boring. Should be an instant success in the right hands (just look at how Big Hero 6 was huge & that's not even proper Pixar/Marvel) but even Disney IPs can only go so far like the discontinued Infinity series showcased. Shit's risky
Big Hero 6 is Marvel.
Its not like this has stopped them (and many other companies) before.I think the biggest hurdle is thus:
What kind of story could you tell with characters who live in relatively normal worlds where they're nothing but everymen that would warrant a theatrical animated feature?
No thanks. After my daughter watched Micky Mouse Clubhouse for years I'm good with Mickey & the gang for a while.That fucking "Hot Dog" song.
They did the The Three Musketeers movie over a decade ago (strait to DVD). We recently watched it and it was just alright.
That's why I don't get the OP as the main Disney characters were used in the best Disney cartoons.
Those Paul Rudish cartoons are way better than anything that a movie would come up with anyway
Those cartoons are literally the worst thing Disney has done in years, and this is coming from a father who has to listen to every song Dove Cameron has ever recorded.
The cartoons paint Mickey & crew as complete bumbling idiots. I can't stand them.
Edit: Wet No!

Are they known? Yes, everybody know them.
That doesn't translate into Relevancy tho, and it pains me to say this, it really does, but we have to face the fact that we live in a world where such movie would bomb.
Goofy was in a movie with the X Games, that's pretty damn modern.
This, I was never really a Mickey fan but these are really well done. I didn't realize there was new ones out, I have only seen the first season and a bit of the 2nd

Actually, his last reference was in the second Once Upon a Christmas movie (the CGI one).I do wonder though, does Disney ever recognize Max Goof in this day and age? Last reference of him I remember is from House of Mouse.
There are a few Mickey movies aren't there? There's a Mickey Christmas carol one at least. I think Mickey is just their 0+ age group character. Making a theatrical film for that age group... well no one does it for good reasosns.
I have good memories of A Goofy Movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HcqCFva-Gc.

That's why I think it would be great if Disney made a Third Goofy movie about Max as a dad and Goofy as a grandpa.Yeah, just found out. He already finished college too.
It's so weird he's the only character in Disney canon that actually aged.
Today's youth isn't exposed to Mickey Mouse and the gang?Popular characters don't translate into big movie ticket sales. Even if they are decent films.
See the Peanuts for example.
It would have worked well in the 80's. Today's youth aren't as exposed to these characters like us older people were. The new Disney is not the same as it used to be.

That's... news to me.
That's not how that works. Disney would need to lobby the federal government to change the law to keep him.
I feel like I read some article from a few years ago that said the reason Mickey Mouse has never had his own feature-length theatrical film is because Disney is scared of getting it wrong. That character basically is Disney's entire legacy, so I guess I can see the apprehension of risking screwing it up.
Its like making a Mario movie,its never.going. to happen.
the hideous 80s thing doesn't count

Those online shorts they did were pretty fucking good.
I also imagine that the relatively luke-warm performance (for a Disney Renaissance-era film) and middling reviews of "A Goofy Movie" (despite it having a cult following, a lot of professional critics thought that it was a bland and predictable experience with unmemorable songs) probably scared them away from prioritizing the production of any future feature-length Mickey/Donald/Goofy/etc. movies they might have been cooking up.

As far as I know, Disney has their characters not just under copyright but also trademarked, which lasts as long as they use it.
Specific movies might eventually go into public domain but the characters themselves will probably remain Disney's.
Copyright law. Disney has until 2023 to figure how to extend the Mickey Mouse copyright.
They've bumped up against copyright law with Mickey multiple times, and every time it happens, they manage to get the laws changed so they can hold onto him. I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen again.
