Editing Mickey Mouse universe (section)

=== Mouseton ===
Mickey appeared in an urban setting as early as 1931 in the short film ''[[Traffic Troubles]]'' where he works as a taxi driver. Mickey's city was unnamed until 1932, when the comic story ''The Great Orphanage Robbery'' identified it as Silo Center.<ref>[[Mickey Mouse (comic strip)|''Mickey Mouse'' comic strip]], February 29, 1932.</ref> Some [[Floyd Gottfredson]] stories simply called the city Hometown while other Gottfredson stories used the name Mouseville.<ref>Examples: "Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot," daily strip serial, 1939; "Dr. X," daily strip serial, 1955.</ref> But the first consistent name for Mickey's city came in 1950s Italy, where it was called '''Topolinia''' (from ''Topolino'' or 'little mouse,' Mickey's Italian name).

In 1990, [[Disney Comics (publishing)|Disney Comics]] launched the new American comic ''[[Mickey Mouse Adventures]]'' and initially planned to use the name Mouseville there. But due to then-current [[Mighty Mouse]] cartoons' use of a city called Mouseville, the new name Mouseton was created for Mickey's town instead; both in ''Mickey Mouse Adventures'' and in Disney's contemporary reprints of vintage stories in ''[[Walt Disney's Comics and Stories]]'' (1991–93).<ref>Examples: "Mouseton, The Eagle Has Landed," ''Mickey Mouse Adventures'' 14 (1991); "The 'Lectro Box" reprint, ''Walt Disney's Comics and Stories'' 570 (1992).</ref> Later publisher [[Gemstone Publishing|Gemstone]] and the present [[Boom Studios]] have continued the use of Mouseton from 2003 onward. In-between licensee [[Gladstone Publishing|Gladstone]] (1993–99) usually left Mickey's city unnamed, or—very rarely—referenced it as [[Duckburg]], better known as [[Donald Duck]]'s hometown.<ref>Example: "Fantasy Island," ''Walt Disney Giant'' 5 (1996).</ref>)

Mouseton's location in Calisota and its positioning with regard to Duckburg (the cities being not far from one another) were the subject of speculation early on, but have generally been treated consistently in American publications from 2003 onward.<ref>Example: "Back From the Brink," ''Walt Disney's Comics and Stories'' 661 (2005); Mouseton and Duckburg are identified and seen side-by-side as characters fly overhead.</ref>

In Disney comics published by [[Egmont (media group)|Egmont]] (Scandinavia) and [[Editora Abril|Abril]] (Brazil), Mickey lives in Duckburg—even though Mickey and Donald only rarely team up in shared comics adventures. The same tradition extends to Disney comics published in Germany by Egmont subdivision [[Egmont Ehapa|Ehapa]] (Duckburg is called ''Entenhausen'' in German), although the German comics have mentioned possible equivalents of Mouseton as neighboring towns or villages: ''Mausdorf'' (German for "mouse village") and ''Mäuslingen'' (German equivalent to "Mouseville").

In Germany, the [[Netherlands]], Brazil and [[Scandinavia]], local tradition has it that Mickey's hometown is simply a different district of Duckburg. In Disney theme parks, the [[Roger Rabbit]]-inspired Toontown, a district in Los Angeles specifically for cartoon characters, is presented as Mickey's home.

In animation, Mouseton is mentioned in the ''[[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|DuckTales]]'' reboot series, where one of the characters, [[Zan Owlson]], graduated from Mouseton's School of Business, the place appearing briefly in the episode "[[List of DuckTales (2017 TV series) episodes#ep26|The Ballad of Duke Baloney!]]" during Owlson's presentation.
