Have you been to any of the theme parks? I'm getting most of my knowledge from my experience with them, and Stitch is definitely a frontrunner when it comes to everything there. He's on the maps, all over the stores, in the parades and even has a few rides (depending on the park). They have even begun introducing his "girl" version, experiment 624.
Character-wise, Mickey has evolved over the years and all I meant by that was, on a basic level, they are pretty similar -- both having distinctive features and overall designs (both their ears are prominent in stuff, both fine for silhouettes). There's not much really to this argument, I just found myself thinking about it a lot when I was visiting one of the parks.
Re: the quality of the stuff, the first film was brilliant, Stitch has a Glitch less so, "Stitch! The Movie" was okay and Leroy and Stitch was a fitting ending to the TV series, which was also acceptable. None of the stories resonated as strongly as the first, but they never really tarnished what that world or those characters stood for. They all were fun, heartfelt and watchable. IMO, of course. Objectively, though, he's
so not a flop. Home On The Range is what you would call a flop.
