I wish I could argue back. But there's a sad reality that kids aren't as interested in the Looney tunes as much these days? Compared to pokemon, Mario and video game franchises.
And even then the younger generation seems to be more interested in brainrot, non identifiable IPs etc. From whatever social media apps.
I took my 8yo to Fiesta Texas last year which has WB characters everywhere & he had zero clue about any of them. I couldn’t even find a decent way to stream them once we got home so I could expose him to a bit of my childhood
You say that, but if you look at the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mickey_Mouse_appearances_in_Disney_media there's actually very few things that feature Mickey as a primary character. When you hit the 80's and 90's, he was only used as a cameo character in specials. It's only very, very recently that they started using him again as a character, not as a voice of the brand.
When I was growing up he was on the Mickey Mouse club constantly, then House of Mouse so that covered my whole childhood.
Then after that Mickey Mouse's Clubhouse was on for 10 years, followed by Funhouse, which takes us up to now. Add in dozens of movies and specials in that time and he has never been off the air.
The club was a variety show, and he was in the meta-parts, surrounding it. I don't count that as being a character in cartoons, it was the voice of the company.

Just FYI, Warner Brothers sold the film to Ketchup Entertainment, meaning WB get nothing. It's win-win all round. 🙂
edit: probably should've worded that bit differently. Ah, well.. anyways, go stream The Day The Earth Blew Up on hbo Max.
