Currently, I did not include any of the Walt Disney, (Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, et al) in this list. Granted, they are based on TV characters, but I feel like I would be including the whole Walt Disney list if I did. Same with Sesame Street. If I were to include the Sesame Street items, I would be adding the whole list. I feel like the Inspired By TV or Movie Characters is a list of items that aren’t Walt Disney or Sesame Street. Suffice it to say that the Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, et al and the Sesame Street items are inspired by TV Characters but are deserving of their own list.
