So I did come up with a stumper...even Meggy Fishy doesn't know!
Dorothy wrote: "So I did come up with a stumper...even Meggy Fishy doesn't know!"Oh dear... Meggy Fishy?? ππ€£π€£
Are we allowed to do some research Doreo?
Agh! I've got a better name. Mega Fish.
Just kidding, but only vague research, if you don't mind conscience pains.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THIS WHEN I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN MICKEY MOUSE??!! π«
I have no idea. Disney was not something I watched much. Bambi pretty much traumatized me.Pam

πOOOOOH!!!! Mickey Mouse cartoon as in movie or just an individual short cartoon?
Ugh, for some reason I wanna say Fox and the Hound.
I'm just going to make a list of ENE books Doreo has read in hopes that one of them will be it... π€£Eight Cousins, Jo's Boys, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, The Prince and the Pauper, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Jack and Jill, Little Women, Under the Lilacs, The Quiet Little Woman, An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving, Pollyanna, Miss Lollipop's Lion (thrown in for good measure), Rose in Bloom. (ANY IDEA WHY SHE ALMOST ALWAYS GUESSES LOUISA MAY ALCOTT??!!π€£π€£)
Emma wrote: "Conscience pains? I don't get those. π€£"No, of course not.

Uh-oh! I don't think I would come out and play if I were you, Emma!
Dorothy wrote: "Emma! Come out and play!"
Ahhh not with that thing!!!!!!! π±π€£
If the photo is a clue, then I am going to say "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams" I don't even know if that was a Disney film, but the bear pictured above has scared me into saying it!!! Now, I'm going to my kitchen to throw away all of the honey in my house!!!Pammy Jo~She who is scared of big bears!
It's just gotta be a Mark Twain story! π€£
My only other guess would be Steamboat Willy. Prince and the Pauper was also turned into a Mickey cartoon.
Oh, dear. Another Mark Twain book? Now I am really going into hiding, but where shall I go? What shall I do? I'll think about it tomorrow! After all, tomorrow is another day! Unless the bear gets me!!!Pammy Jo
Seriously...This is a very tough question, Dorothy!Pammy Jo

Meg wrote: "Hannah wrote: "My only other guess would be Steamboat Willy. Prince and the Pauper was also turned into a Mickey cartoon."Ahaaaa!!!! The Prince and the Pauper, I'll bet you've got it Hannah! π"
Yeah I bet you are right too Hannah! Now that you say that, I feel like I've heard something like that before.
Pamela wrote: "If the photo is a clue, then I am going to say "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams" I don't even know if that was a Disney film, but the bear pictured above has scared me into saying it!!! Now, I'..."LOL! No, that wasn't a clue.
Has everyone got their guesses in? I'm willing to wait!
I'm thinking The Prince and The Pauper,too.
Dorothy wrote: "Has everyone got their guesses in? I'm willing to wait!"You weren't so willing to wait earlier! π€£
I'm sticking with Grizzly Adams! LOL!Pammy Jo
Pamela wrote: "I'm sticking with Grizzly Adams! LOL!Pammy Jo"

The answer is: The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain. I want to say Hannah is the winner, since she gave to actual answer, and Mega Fish just threw out a thousand stabs in the dark; but I imagine Mega Fish would beat me up for that, and I'm already wounded from earlier. πππ€£

Ah, but that was different. I was on the hook, then.
Where did everyone go? It's kinda sad here tonight. π
Emma wrote: "Where did everyone go? It's kinda sad here tonight. π"I know, no one seems to care about the answer!
Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "Where did everyone go? It's kinda sad here tonight. π"I know, no one seems to care about the answer!"
I would more, but I didn't even guess because I HAD no guess!! π That was a good one you did!
