Which Disney character is known as 'Topolino' in Italy?
Correct answer: Mickey Mouse

I guessed right because I remembered Topo Gigio on the Ed Sullivan show (yes, I'm that old) who was a puppet that was an Italian mouse - my favorite part of the show as a wee tot. Turns out Topo is mouse in Italian according to the Topo Gigio site. Anybody else old enough to remember Topo Gigio?

WaldoLydeker, Senor Wences was the hand puppet character. Topo Gigio was sort of a half marionette with a striped shirt I think.
