... and I hope the bear at the end ate him. Notice that he didn't appear at the dedication of the re-opened theater.

I believe this conceited ass was included to show that just because someone is talented doesn't mean they're not a complete *beep* scumbag lowlife.

Hate him too. Particularly at the scene the bears found him and he led them inside the theater saying Buster had 'his money'.

Yep, exactly. His awe at Meena's singing expertise didn't redeem him. He was basically a little *beep* thrown in to show how the other characters progressed.

He is one, indeed. Hope he realized how much a prejudiced dumbass he was.

What's your point? He was obviously supposed to be that way. This is actually the best thing about the movie. The mouse was mean but he wasn't villianized. He didn't get his 'comeuppance' (hopefully) in some big humiliating way. That is always the mark of a baby movie, that some character needs to suffer some embarrassing overt defeat. He wasn't in the picture because he wasn't really buddies with the other singers. I think the movie implied that he ran off continuing his shenanigans as a scammer/low life. No big stupid scene where he goes up to sing but loses his voice and gets booed of the stage or dragged off by the bears. I think it's a wonderful message that just because someone can sing doesn't mean they are a great person. People need to learn this and stop putting singers on a pedestal.

..Mikey was a hustler, what did you expect lol..and of course he was mean and full of himself, he was shallow and all he cared about was money. He took a loan out and got a sports car to impress the mouse chick lol... that was his character.

...however, he, like the other singers, had talent, he was a great singer. Every animated movie has a character that's a jerk or spoiled brat lol..it's called conflict

A misguided Hollywood myth. A true hustler has to entice his victims, and that isn't done thru insults.

The Hollywood idea is this is a rebellious character who the audience will love.

Understandable when you see who voiced him. I didn't know this as I watched the movie and I'm glad I didn't.

He was the most realistic character of them all, not everybody gets together in the end and lives happily ever after like we see in almost every cartoon movie.
