The LEGO Mickey Mouse & Friends theme is a current product line launched in 2021 that features construction sets aimed primarily at younger builders (ages 4+) and toddlers (via the LEGO Duplo line) and focuses on popular Disney cartoon characters.
Overview
This specific sub-theme within the larger LEGO Disney umbrella uses Starter Bricks and simpler designs to help children develop building and role-play skills. The sets revolve around the everyday adventures of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto.
Product Lines
Characters from the Mickey Mouse universe have appeared in multiple LEGO product lines over the years:
LEGO Duplo: Many sets for toddlers (ages 2+) feature larger, safer bricks and the characters in Duplo figure form.
LEGO 4+ (formerly Juniors): The current main "Mickey & Friends" line uses standard, but larger and simpler, LEGO System bricks for an easier building experience for preschoolers.
Collectible Minifigures: Characters have appeared as standard minifigures in the LEGO Disney Series 1, 2, and 100 collectible minifigure lines.
Adult Collector Sets: Larger, more complex display models such as LEGO 43179 Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse Buildable Characters and LEGO Ideas 21317 Steamboat Willie are also available.
