Is Disney replacing Mickey Mouse? TikTok hoax has users baffled Unsplash: Steven Lozano\/TikTokSome TikTokers have been baffled by viral claims that Disney is replacing Mickey Mouse as its mascot, but it\u2019s not true. Here\u2019s what you need to know. When it comes to recognizable brand logos and mascots, there\u2019s none more recognizable than Disney and the Mickey Mouse ears. The two are inseparable, to the point where some fans have even just the company as \u2018The Mouse.\u2019 Sure, Disney might also have the princess castle as another logo, but it\u2019s all about Mickey. You can\u2019t go to a Disney theme park and not be bombarded by Mickey, Minnie, and the rest of the mouse gang. However, there have been claims on TikTok that this could be set to change and fans have been up in arms. Though, the outrage is all for nought. Is Mickey Mouse being replaced by Figment? The claims have come from the Mouse Trap News TikTok account, after they posted a video on February 9 claiming that Mickey was going to be replaced as the company\u2019s mascot. In his place, the TikToker claimed that Figment the dragon \u2013 who has been a staple within Epcot \u2013 would be the new mascot because the trademark on Mickey is running out. This, as the video showed, would see Mickey statues be taken down and replaced with Figment versions. However, if you read the bio of the TikTok account, you\u2019ll see it\u2019s just a hoax. \u201cReal Disney news that is 100% fake,\u201d it says, but that hasn\u2019t stopped fans freaking out. \u201cWho the hell is Figment,\u201d quizzed one baffled fan. \u201cFigment of my imagination maybe, there\u2019s no way this is real,\u201d quipped another. \u201cYou\u2019re joking? they could\u2019ve gone with Oswald,\u201d added another. So, if you\u2019re worried about Mickey suddenly disappearing from all things Disney, don\u2019t be alarmed. It\u2019s just a run-of-the-mill TikTok hoax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
