In the 1950s, Mickey became more known for his appearances on television, particularly with ''[[The Mickey Mouse Club]]''. Many of his theatrical cartoon shorts were rereleased on television series such as ''Ink & Paint Club'', various forms of the [[Walt Disney anthology television series]], and on home video. Mickey returned to theatrical animation in 1983 with ''[[Mickey's Christmas Carol]]'', an adaptation of [[Charles Dickens]]' ''[[A Christmas Carol]]'' in which Mickey played [[Bob Cratchit]]. This was followed up in 1990 with ''[[The Prince and the Pauper (1990 film)|The Prince and the Pauper]]''.

Throughout the decades, Mickey Mouse competed with Warner Bros.' [[Bugs Bunny]] for animated popularity. But in 1988, the two rivals finally shared screen time in the [[Robert Zemeckis]] [[Disney]]/[[Amblin]] film ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]''. Disney and Warner signed an agreement stating that each character had the same amount of screen time in the scene.

Similar to his animated inclusion into a live-action film in ''Roger Rabbit'', Mickey made a featured cameo appearance in the 1990 television special ''[[The Muppets at Walt Disney World]]'' where he met [[Kermit the Frog]]. The two are established in the story as having been old friends, although they have not made any other appearance together outside of this.

His most recent theatrical cartoon short was 2013's ''[[Get a Horse!]]'' which was preceded by 1995's ''[[Runaway Brain]]'', while from 1999 to 2004, he appeared in direct-to-video features like ''[[Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas]]'', ''[[Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers]]'' and ''[[Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas]]''.

Many television series have centered on Mickey, such as the ABC shows ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'' (1999–2000), ''[[House of Mouse]]'' (2001–2003), [[Disney Channel]]'s ''[[Mickey Mouse Clubhouse]]'' (2006–2016), ''[[Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures]]'' (2017–2021) and ''[[Mickey Mouse Funhouse]]'' (2021–present).<ref name="Mickey Mouse Funhouse">{{cite press release|title="Jump Into Wow" This Summer on Disney Junior with "Marvel's Spidey and His Amazing Friends" and "Mickey Mouse Funhouse"|url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2021/06/16/jump-into-wow-this-summer-on-disney-junior-with-marvels-spidey-and-his-amazing-friends-and-mickey-mouse-funhouse-725113/20210616disney01/|publisher=[[Disney Channel]]|via=[[The Futon Critic]]|date=June 16, 2021|access-date=June 16, 2021|archive-date=November 29, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231129185546/http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2021/06/16/jump-into-wow-this-summer-on-disney-junior-with-marvels-spidey-and-his-amazing-friends-and-mickey-mouse-funhouse-725113/20210616disney01/|url-status=live}}</ref> Prior to all these, Mickey was also featured as an [[unseen character]] in the ''[[Bonkers (American TV series)|Bonkers]]'' episode "I Oughta Be in Toons".
