The Sherlock Holmes case is the one I was reminded of as well. With such high impact fictional characters it took years, spread over a range of published works, to establish the quintessence and backstory people know them by now (not that Mickey Mouse has many redeeming qualities beyond being instantly recognizable). That said, I'm looking forward to a potential noir detective reimagining of Pooh. I hope they don't do the zombie thing though; that feels overdone by now.
