Mickey Mouse will do — after all, it’s a proper name.
What about in American Sign Language?
That’s a different challenge. Spelling out Mickey Mouse with finger-spelling gestures gets tedious in a hurry.

would get the improvised mouse ears as the sign for Mickey Mouse — even
though Disney officials made it up themselves.
Throughout Walt Disney World, stage shows,
parades and a few of the other attractions offer American Sign Language
Interpretation services, at least once a week, for deaf and
hearing-impaired visitors. Everything at Disney has a name, and the
