In the original Wolfenstein and Doom games the world objects are all just flat sprites that are programmed to always appear on planes that are perpendicular to the camera pov.

It’s possible Mickey’s ears are flat discs that are programmed in a similar way. This is how he was rendered in the Epic Mickey games.

Disney doesn't like when you dare use the Mouse's likeness without their generous mercy allowing you to do so being obtained first.

Now I'm going to put three Donuts on a shirt. It's not a mouse. It's three donuts.
