Not all ideas are equal. A talking animated mouse in and of itself should not be allowed to be copyrighted where it prohibits anyone else from creating a talking animated mouse. But, a specific talking animated mouse with its own traits should be allowed. There's plenty of room for any number of copyrighted mice; whether it's Mickey Mouse, Mighty Mouse, Pixie and Dixie, or Pinky and the Brain. Copyrighted Mickey didn't prevent any of these other mice from being created.
