Who is Neil Sharpson? Oh, no one important. Just your average Happily Married Irish cartoon enthusiast-slash-comic book geek-slash-playwright... transformed into a mouse by the immortal spirit of Walt Disney as punishment for not liking Beauty and the Beast, and tasked to review every single film in the Disney Animated Canon. Along for the ride: several very opinionated maps of various continents, Nit the Nit-Picking Nit, Walt Disney himself (who flip-flops between Trickster Mentor and plain ol' Jerkass at the drop of a hat), and a gaggle of vile villains led by the Horned King.Perhaps it would be prudent now to mention that this blog's very first entry on TV Tropes was under Continuity Lockout, heh?By Sharpson's own admission, The Unshaved Mouse began in 2012 as a project to determine which Disney movie would be the best to introduce his daughter to. But over the years, it ballooned into one of the hardiest review blogs on the Internet, featuring a surprisingly expansive supporting cast and a fairly elaborate Meta Plot. But between the hundred and one in-jokes, Sharpson's love for the Disney canon - indeed, (almost) all animation —is practically tangible, and his reviews are as informative as they are entertaining. At the end of each review comes a 20/20/20/20/20 scale where he objectively (in his opinion) scores the quality of each film, based on Animation, Hero, Villain, Supporting Cast, and Music. And while he makes his personal view on each movie very clear, the scale is objective enough to give some pretty high rankings to films that he personally dislikes.In late 2014, having caught up with the Canon's then-latest offering (Frozen) he promptly turned his attention to Disney's other box-office powerhouse: the Marvel Cinematic Universe.note With select non-MCU Marvel movies as well; having reviewed all of Fox's X-Men films. These are scored on a slightly different 25/25/25/25 scale, covering Hero, Villain, Supporting Cast, and Adaptationnote A sort of catch-all category used to measure how close he feels the film got to the spirit of the comics.The end? Don't you believe it. As of this writing, more than half the reviews on Sharpson's site consist of non-Disney fare. Being a gentlemouse of diverse tastes (and a fondness for fundraisers), Sharpson takes reader requests on a semi-regular basis, usually in exchange for donations to some humanitarian cause.note Readers were originally limited to just animated movies... then he made allowances for comic-book movies... then TV shows... and finally, pretty much everything under the sun (except Star Wars, which he feels has already been reviewed to death). The resulting reviews have gone as high as Princess Mononoke and as low as The Toxic Avenger - with the odd side-project such as:

Overly Narrow Superlative: The Mouse's idealized take on the 2019 Oscars involved Black Panther taking Best Picture, pointing out that it wasn't the best superhero movie of the year, let alone "the best superhero movie this year featuring a black Marvel superhero and an all-time great hip hop soundtrack," as another film released later in the year also hits all those qualifications.

Surprisingly Improved Sequel
 Unshaved Mouse (Blog) / int_1f9e2c21
comment
Surprisingly Improved Sequelinvoked: While Mouse doesn't really seem to like either Cars movie, he does give Cars 2 a slightly higher score than Cars, due to boasting a livelier lead actor and a more exciting script. Mouse praises Iron Man 3 and Avengers: Infinity War so much higher than he did IM2 and Avengers: Age of Ultron, that he calls them his favorite Iron Man and Avengers movies, respectively (until Avengers: Endgame earned the same score as Infinity War). Mouse calls Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World a slight improvement over Pocahontas, with an intriguing concept, and a more human portrayal of Pocahontas — though he warns that fans of the first movie would probably hate Journey To a New World, and consequently gives the latter a lower score, since he's grading it based on its merits as a sequel. Mouse finds Thor: Ragnarok to improve so drastically on Thor: The Dark World, that he grades Ragnarok higher than every movie Marvel Studios released before it.

Broke the Rating Scale
 Unshaved Mouse (Blog) / int_24fbee90
comment
Broke the Rating Scale: Any movie that Mouse's younger self reviews receives a score much higher than 100%. Mulan threatens to kill Mouse for giving her a 19/20, so the frightened Mouse raises it to a perfect 20, then asks if he can possibly even give her 21. Judging by the movie's overall grade, he unfortunately can't. Mouse's review of Saving Mr. Banks ends with him expressing a Refusal to Rate the "piece of corporate propaganda". Mouse's review of the Haruhi Suzumiya anime's "Endless Eight" story arc does contain a score, but he doesn't bother breaking it down into the five usual categories, since he found the mere concept — an eight-part "Groundhog Day" Loop in which parts 2-7 use almost the exact same script — rather pointless. Mouse also didn't give the Nazi propaganda short Das dumme Ganslein a scorecard, explaining in the comments that it "didn't feel appropriate."

Mary Anne for the title character of Alice in Wonderland, apparently.note For those who either haven't seen Alice in Wonderland, or haven't seen it in years: The White Rabbit had a maid named Mary Anne, and when Alice stopped by his house shortly after he called her name, he mistook Alice for her. The movie never actually shows Mary Anne, but Mouse calls her, "...Alice’s evil Wonderland duplicate who is even now back in the real world taking control of Alice’s life for nefarious purposes." His picture of Mary Anne consists of a still of Alice with a Beard of Evil painted over it.

comment
Borrowed Catchphrase: "Oh my God, [X] you whores!", which Mouse exclaims whenever a movie reminds him of another work, was also used by The Horned King in his part of the review of The Great Mouse Detective. note Context, straight from the review: "Ratigan explains how the trap works. It’s pretty simple stuff as these things go, the gramaphone plays, which pulls the rope, which causes the marble to drop through the bathtub, down the rickety stairs, causing the cage to lower and wait one infernal moment here!" When Mouse reviewed Vin Diesel's The Iron Giant and Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), in two separate articles, he switched around the last words of Diesel's characters, making the Giant say, "We are Groot", and Groot say, "Superman".

Mad Artist: Mouse enjoys painting Walt Disney as one. Enforced when he reviewed The Wrong Trousers. After realizing that Nick Park's biography was kind of bland, he "improved" Park into a Shell-Shocked Veteran who invented stop-motion animation while in prison. Then the "actual" Park showed up to complain...

Even Better Sequel

comment
Even Better Sequelinvoked: Regarding the Disney Animated Canon, Mouse has awarded Fantasia 2000, The Rescuers Down Under, and Winnie the Pooh (2011) higher scores than their predecessors. Regarding the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Mouse graded every Captain America movie higher than the one preceding it, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 higher than Vol. 1.note Captain America: Civil War and GotG Vol. 2 each even held a term as Mouse's highest-rated Marvel movie. His spoiler-free review of Avengers: Age of Ultron also called it superior to its predecessor, but he later admitted that its flaws became more apparent on repeat viewing.

Conspiracy Theorist
 Unshaved Mouse (Blog) / int_39ed1c8a
comment
Conspiracy Theorist: Mouse has gone off on a lot of these throughout the years, regardless of the quality of whatever film he's reviewing. Some of the highlights: The Fairy Godmother from Cinderella is an older version of Pinocchio's Blue Fairy, and Cinderella is actually her daughter from an affair with a human. Cinderella herself befriends talking mice in order to build an army powerful enough to overthrow the king, allowing her to become the queen. Both Jose Carioca and Panchito Pistoles are pure evil, with the latter literally being Satan. Hera from Hercules is not the loving mother, that it seems like she is in the Disney movie, but the real evil mastermind behind the plot, like she also was in Classical Mythology. Jeffrey Katzenberg is actually the Red Skull in disguise. The Cars universe is the same as that of the "Little Toot" segment of Melody Time, and takes place after the sentient vehicles of the world have risen up against and destroyed all humans in a Robot War. El Dorado eventually became Bahia, hence why The Road to El Dorado breaks into a Disney Acid Sequence for "It's Tough to Be a God". Lampshaded in his review of The Prince of Egypt, after a particularly convoluted theory involving God's master plan: The Avengers: Infinity War review implies that Mouse suspected a Skrull of replacing Pepper, who he thought made up with Tony too abruptly. The review of Ant-Man and the Wasp makes a similar guess about Janet Van Dyne, since Mouse had no other idea how she survived decades in the Quantum Realm. The Donald in Mathmagic Land review pigeonholes a newly-introduced map of North America into this role; the sight of a pentagram on Donald's palm prompts Mouse to discuss people who see the cartoon as Illuminati brainwashing, but North America calls "Moon Nazis" the real enemy.

Alternative Character Interpretation

comment
Alternative Character Interpretationinvoked: Does these a lot. Disney himself was a Mad Artist who trafficked heavily in the occult, obtaining immortality in the process. Not Heat Vision though, that's apparently just something that animators can do. Mulan is a walking avatar of Death itself. The rat from Lady and the Tramp was named Larry, and was just checking on the baby out of concern for its well being. He survived his run-in with Tramp, received botched reconstructive surgery, went mad, and renamed himself Ratigan. The Blue Fairy from Pinocchio had an affair with a human, resulting in the birth of Cinderella. Now older, she claimed to be Cinderella's Fairy Godmother so she could help her without revealing their connection. The "Princess of Glowerhaven" that Prince Eric failed to hit it off with was the Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This incident resulted in her becoming self-conscious about her appearance, and led to her transforming a prince into a beast. The actual Brazilian state of Bahia is in reality a realm of madness and chaos, in which the devil himself (a Crimson Cockerel named Panchito Pistoles) can be encountered. And Jose Carioca is a warlock in his service. Hera is the true evil mastermind in Hercules, in keeping with her mythological counterpart. After marrying into royalty, Cinderella sicced the kingdom's guards on Lady Tremaine for domestic slavery and possibly the murder of Cinderella's father, causing her to go on the run. She fled to France (leaving her daughters as patsies) and lived off her fortune, becoming Lady Adelaide before being identified and apprehended by Lieutenant Columbo. As of Ant-Man and the Wasp, Scott Lang is part of an... "open marriage" between his ex-wife and her current husband. He claims that Pepper Potts was somehow possessed by the spirit of Terrence Howard out of revenge, after his role as Rhody was taken over by Don Cheadle in Iron Man 2, explaining why Pepper is more hostile to Tony than she was in the original film.

Author Appeal: Mouse is a massive geek about cartoons and comic books, and regularly lampshades his own tendency to cram in Batman jokes everywhere he gets the chance. He's also a fan of Columbo, and though the good lieutenant has only appeared in two reviews, he's one of the blog's most fondly-remembered in-jokes. Parodied with Cleo the goldfish from Pinocchio; Mouse's supposed attraction to cartoon fish is a running joke on the blog.

Formula-Breaking Episode: Once in a while (sometimes as part of a reader request), he'll review something outside the Disney Animated Canon. Whether by design or coincidence, these reviews tend to feed more heavily into the Myth Arc than the "standard" reviews. The review of Mary and Max takes this to another level, as Mouse finds the film so disturbing that he reviews it in the third person to distance himself from it.

comment
Satellite Love Interest: invoked Mouse's review of The Incredible Hulk (2008) laments that during the Silver Age, Pepper Potts, Betty Ross, and Jane Foster seemed to only exist to fawn after Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, and Thor respectively. Fortunately, the comics did gradually give them more distinct personalities, and even their own respective terms as crimefighters. Unfortunately, Mouse admits that in the MCU, Betty still seems to have not much of a purpose beyond fawning for Banner.note Mouse does commend Peggy Carter and Janet van Dyne for never falling into this trope, with Peggy demonstrating a fighting spirit as strong as Captain America's, and Janet helping found the Avengers.

Orcus on His Throne

comment
Orcus on His Throne: In the Marvel Cinematic Universe reviews, Mouse actually traces how long Thanos sits on his chair, before taking any direct action, with a section titled, "Hey, what’s Thanos doing?" He even includes this section in his review of Captain America (1990), musing that the existence of "constants" likely means that Thanos just sits on his chair in that continuity, as well.

Take That!: The reviews and articles do indulge in an occasional insult at someone's expense. Matthew Broderick is a frequent target of this ire. As a running gag in the Inside Out review, he made it a point to deliver potshots at all fifty states (except for Florida, ironically enough). Audrey Hepburn gets a rather mean spirited one in the Mary Poppins review, where Mouse refers to her as a "sentient stick insect that couldn't sing" re: replacing Julie Andrews for the lead role in My Fair Lady.

That is, until The Unshaven Mouse takes the reviewing role back (after Basil and Co. escape Ratigan's death trap, fittingly), sending The Horned King to Bahia in the process. It happens again when Bill Cipher takes over the review for Gravity Falls.

Forced Transformation: He became a Mouse when Walt Disney cursed him for not enjoying Beauty and the Beast. He gets a reprieve and Disney decides to turn him into a prince... but he becomes the artist Prince instead, and quickly requests being a mouse again. Also seems to have some sort of Fisher Kingdom effect: he's watched so many cartoons by this point that he's become a cartoon mouse, as opposed to a stock photo of a real one.

Berserk Button: Mouse might seem laid-back and meek most of the time, but mention John Tenniel (original illustrator for Lewis Carroll's Alice books and creator of some of the worst anti-Irish caricatures in history) and watch him explode. One not played for laughs beyond the vaguest sense - he hated Saving Mr. Banks for exemplifying the absolute worst of the biopic genre (a genre he already distrusted), rewriting and outright retconning huge chunks of Pamela Travers' life and personality in the name of making brand-friendly Oscar Bait.

Irony: Mouse's favourite Disney movie is Mary Poppins and he feels it improves everything from the original books by PL Travers. So it is very surprising that Saving Mr. Banks is a film he absolutely hates. He's not a fan of Enchanted, lampshading that it was made for him. The flipside is that although he views Anastasia as a shameless Disney princess rip-off, he still enjoyed it.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story: The Don Bluth story arc reveals that the reason for Bluth's Lighter and Softer turn in The '90s was entirely the Unshaved Mouse's fault: Bluth brought in Mouse and several other children to consult on his then-in development film Rock-A-Doodle, and during this meeting Mouse revealed to Bluth that he found his films too scary. Neil Sharpson admitted later that as a child he did meet Bluth during the production of Rock-A-Doodle and had a brief conversation with him, but it was centered entirely around the difference between and cartwheel and a tumble.

Torches and Pitchforks: The Angry Mob's whole bag. It's not clear whether it's always the same band of guys every time or whether there are multiple Mobs (in one instance, they began speaking in Japanese to protest Mouse watching the English dub of Princess Mononoke). Parodied in the Hercules review, where only two guys show up after Mouse disses Megara. They're later told to leave after Mouse decides that Megara isn't so bad after all.

Like You Would Really Do It
 Unshaved Mouse (Blog) / int_e6043813
comment
Like You Would Really Do Itinvoked: Mouse argues that The Wasp's Heroic Sacrifice in Ant-Man doesn't get count as getting Stuffed into the Fridge, since it doesn't sound plausible for Marvel to permanently kill off the more interesting member of Ant-Man's and Wasp's duo. He even shares a picture of a woman's silhouette appearing in the Quantum Realm.

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy
 Unshaved Mouse (Blog) / int_ec7da60a
comment
Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Walt Disney was (and is) a warlock who sold his soul for immortality, was the Unshaved Mouse of his generation ("like the Slayer") tasked with holding back a great evil (the Horned King), deliberately put images of mice with mustaches in some of his movies to plant post-hypnotic suggestions in the mind of the current Mouse, and is responsible for said Mouse being a mouse as punishment for not liking Beauty and the Beast enough. Also, he has heat vision and is obsessed with magic brooms.

Oddball in the Series
 Unshaved Mouse (Blog) / int_f068cba
comment
Oddball in the Series: While Mouse has relaxed his specific qualifications over the years, the blog remains strictly a place to review movies and TV shows... save for the Ranking the Taoisigh series, which judges each of Ireland's Prime Ministers (as of the early 2010s). Shortstember originally focused on shorts that played in movie theaters. However, since he couldn't find many notable theatrical animated shorts from the 2000s, he reviewed a piece of Web Animation instead: Charlie the Unicorn. For the 2010s he reviewed an episode of Mickey Mouse (2013), "Adorable Couple".

Evil Twin
 Unshaved Mouse (Blog) / int_f2dadf81
comment
Evil Twin: Mary Anne for the title character of Alice in Wonderland, apparently.note For those who either haven't seen Alice in Wonderland, or haven't seen it in years: The White Rabbit had a maid named Mary Anne, and when Alice stopped by his house shortly after he called her name, he mistook Alice for her. The movie never actually shows Mary Anne, but Mouse calls her, "...Alice’s evil Wonderland duplicate who is even now back in the real world taking control of Alice’s life for nefarious purposes." His picture of Mary Anne consists of a still of Alice with a Beard of Evil painted over it. According to the Foodfight! review, Disney's foray into propaganda in the 1940s led to the creation of a second Walt Disney, who produces animation that favors commercial value over artistic value. As a Take That to Saving Mr. Banks, Tom Hanks portrays him.

Running Gag
 Unshaved Mouse (Blog) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Dozens of them, at the very least. The "Bahia" mentioned at the top of the page is part of a very convoluted joke that began with his review of The Three Caballeros, and arguably the most-exposed one. Alice face palming in the courtroom scene of Alice in Wonderland is often used whenever something racist or offensive shows up in a Disney movie.

Follow the Leader
 Unshaved Mouse (Blog) / int_fc451ba4
comment
Follow the Leader: invoked The "Oh my God, [X] you whores!" line crops up almost once a review, whenever Mouse encounters some element taken from an earlier work (or realizes that an element was in turn stolen by a later popular work). Most of the time it's applied to meaningless, cosmetic similarities, but there are a few times when Mouse feels that it's a legitimate case of Serial Numbers Filed Off.
