I'm going to see Mickey 17; do I need to watch the other 16 Mickey movies first? (lemm.ee)

I recommend you start with the Mickey Mouse Club, just to make sure you have all the background.

Actually lore-wise the world building really starts with steamboat willie. If you miss out on that the character progression and backstories are just gonna make no sense.

True, but the Steamboat Willie lore is rooted in comedic stage acts of the 1800s - most of which are lost to time.

Which is to say, it's hopeless for any modern viewer to truly understand.
