Why are mice, disease ridden pests, often chosen to be mascots?
Predators are often villains in media due to their mean nature in real life. So why are mice exceptions?

A lot of em aren't really chosen
Mickey Mouse for example was just a character from one animation short they did, that short just so happened to become their logo, and later the character in it became the mascot

But why are they popular? They are vermin.
Mickey Mouse was happenstance after Oswald and just ended up the defacto mascot due to popularity as explained
Chuck E. Cheese has a mouse now, but it was a process getting there. Originally, Nolan Bushnell saw this costume from a far and thought it was a coyote so bought it and was gonna start 'Coyote Pizza' and have his crew fit it with animatronic. When they got the suit his staff told him, "This is not a coyote, it's a rat. It even has a tail." so instead of modifying the costume, decided to rebrand as 'Rick Rat's Pizza' and his investors were furious because "Nobody is going to eat at a Rat's restaurant!" but Bushnell was adamant since he already bought the costume and they compromised over not having the word 'Rat' in the restaurant name or mascot name, but could keep the costume. The investors, and eventually company execs after the brand picked up, were still mad they had a rat as a mascot though so they specifically changed him to a mouse in the 90s rebranding.

See , mice used to represent stereotypes of hued double digits. Mickey as a corporate icon is just a modern social construction made by those hues in suits.

Because they're like people but tiny and that's a funny concept.

You’re thinking of rats. Mice are considered cuter
