The meaning of the "mouse" is slightly different for the Turks. The mouse is not cute animal for Turkish people. Mouse meaning is dirty, bad, enemy etc. for Turkish people but Mickey Mouse can be the only example that changes this meaning. Mickey mouse is important and different cartoon for kids. In this article, I will explain the Mickey Mouse's reputation for Turkey and Mickey Mouse short film with Turkish culture.

In some parts of the short cartoon, Mickey Mouse speaks Turkish, and this situation changes the position for Mickey Mouse for Turkish children. The combination of a big pop icon with cultural elements is important for Mickey Mouse's status and his advertisement. At the same time, the introduction of some things belonging to Turkish culture to the world increased Mickey Mouse's prestige for Turkish teenages, young adults and adults.
Mickey Mouse is not just only cartoon idol. Fashion, education products, stationery products etc. it is possible to see Mickey Mouse’s logo and his drawing in details. The fact that any figure is in life means that it has a reputation. Like a Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse etc.
“In this episode Mickey finds that his new business is a major hit but this doesn't mean that other people are going to be happy with his success.
Turkish delight is a decent episode for the series, although there's no doubt that it will never reach a "classic" status. For the most part the most impressive thing here was certainly the animation and especially the flow that the entire short has to it. At just three minutes there's really not much room for any sort of story but the music was nice and the overall flow made it entertaining.”
