It appears to me that the term used by Disney "Mouse Enough" means: Are you coward enough? .......
We all know that mice are small animals that are easily frightened (and sometimes, frightning!) hence they run away and hide.

Here is my theory:
Mouse sees cat
cat sees mouse
cat runs at mouse
mouse cowardly runs away.

That makes a mouse a coward.

Also, to backup my theory, here is what dictionary.com had to say:

mouse (mous)
n. pl. mice (ms)
A cowardly or timid person.
-----------------
Are you mouse enough?
Are you coward enough?

Doesn't make any sense to me.
So what appears here is they are telling kids that are they: coward enough?
Hmmm.....what are your thoughts?

Interesting regression analysis of the "Mouse Enough" slogan. Me thinks, however, that not many who hear the phrase will take the time to analyze the interrelations of mice and felines and distill a counter meaning through consultation with dictionary.com.

If I'm wrong, Disney is in big trouble as their icon is Mickey Coward!
