Micky Maus

This is probably the show that made me laugh the most. Its setting in different places on the earth with improbably silly situations visualised in great slapstick humor is a whole lot of fun for all ages.

It is a stylised rendition which aims to look like the old cartoons and I found it welcome in our present day as a way to honour the roots of animation. The series still uses elements of CGI, but not in a way that sticks awkwardly out.

Some of Disney's well known characters frequently make cameos in the series, too. See it and you will experience cleverly made comedic situations with other beloved characters.

I find this series hilarious, and if you like great slapstick humor, it is a must see.

Mickey Mouse has been around with us for over eighty years in numerous shorts, films, parks, and merchandise. On June 28, 2013, a new series of Mickey Mouse shorts begun on Disney Channel starting off with 'No Service', a short starring Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Minnie, and Daisy.

In this series, Mickey and the gang, as well as the surroundings around them, have all been redesigned to feel a bit more modern, but yet still classic. The series maintains a pretty good ratings overall (example: IMBd 8.3/10) and has become main stream within the Disney fan base. The central theming of the D23 2015 Expo revolved around the newly designed characters of these shorts too!

The Mickey Mouse series has been running for about two years with three MickeyIconseasons. The cast includes:

Mickey Mouse - Chris Diamantopoulos Minnie Mouse - Russi Taylor Goofy - Bill Farmer Pluto - Bill Farmer Donald Duck - Tony Anselmo Daisy Duck - Tress MacNeille

In some episodes, they parody Disney films such as Snow White in the episode 'Wish Upon A Coin.' There are also many cameos within the series such as Gyro from 'DuckTales' and from the movie, 'Cinderella.'

Overall, the series has been greatly adored for its humor and charm, but has received some criticism especially for Goofy's redesign.

I personally love this series and I hope that you give it a try if you haven't already, its pretty. That said, Kingdom Hearts series and the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse preserves the Mickey House history better then this series with better plots.

The voices are spot on, better than who ever has been voicing Mickey, Donald and Mickey in recent times. I think whoever isn't liking these probably likes the bland, corporate, super PC, middle of the road crap Disney had been pushing from the 90's. The backgrounds are beautifully designed and the stories are wonderfully twisted.

The show is irreverent and classic. My kids love it as I do and we watch it with joy whenever a new episode comes out. Can wait for a DVD collection of the series comes out because I'm buying it! It is very reminiscent of the 1930's to 1960 era and often recalls back to it, I love how its multicultural showcasing Indian, Mexican, French ETC. cultures, locales and languages.

Our favorite episodes in order are:

1.Ghoul Friend 2.Mumbai Madness 3.Feliz Cumpleaños! 4.Ku'u Lei Melody

One reviewer for this show clearly hated it. They describe it as 'despicable, detestable, deplorable desecration of Walt Disney's early works'. I can certainly understand WHY they felt that way, as the animation style is NOTHING like the classic Disney characters and it seems pretty cheap at first. And, I can certainly understand WHY they felt this way because the characters were doing many things that would make Walt spin in his grave like a rotisserie. Imagine having episodes with a zombie Goofy, Mickey and Donald trying to hide their nudity, dogs urinating, bites being bitten off Mickey's ear and a lot of very un-Disney-like violence!! It IS shocking and I could see how a purist would blanch at such things. However, I am NOT a Disney purist. Sure, I love the old cartoons but will quickly admit that Mickey's old cartoons were awfully sanitized--a bit too sanitized if you ask me. Rarely did Mickey have any sort of edge--that was left to Donald and, sometimes, Goofy. But here, Mickey is a rather impish character--more like you'd see in the very, very early Mickey cartoons and not the sweet and 100% wholesome guy you'd see in the 1930s to today! While the art style takes some getting used to, I can look past the cheap look. More importantly, as I sat and watched these cartoons during a recent Disney cruise (where they pipe them into the rooms), I found myself laughing louder than I ever have before with a cartoon. Imagine blending a bit of "Ren & Stimpy" with Mickey--that is what you'll find in "Mickey Mouse" (2013). I love them and want more!

A few months ago my class went to Disney World for our senior trip and this program was nonstop rotating on one of the local channels. It took a few episodes for my friends and I to realize that this show is unlike anything that we have ever seen from the Disney company. Once we came to this understanding, we were laughing hysterically through every episode. This contains outlandish bizarre, humor that greatly differs from the feeble silliness of most other modern children's programs. The faces that characters make (an example being when Goofy removes the blindfold in "Potatoland", my favorite episode) are straight out of dementedly animated online videos such as the Hellbenders. These obscure, freakish faces in combination with the characters' brilliantly random lines gave me and my friends one of the most unexpected hilarious experiences ever. It might just be that we have a warped sense of humor and no one else finds it funny for the same reasons as us. I understand that this greatly strays from the classic Mickey cartoons and that may upset people. But when this show stands on its own, it is an excellent piece of art. The art design is fantastic and enjoyable in its simplicity. Like I said, the small moments are "brilliantly" random, for no one can just create a perfect idea for one off the top of their head. There is a expertise required to craft these sort of nonsensical lines or actions from characters, and this show has it on point. I deducted 3 stars because as a writer I feel that there is nothing exceptionally creative about the actual plots of the episodes. Spongebob Squarepants is the greatest cartoon of all time in my opinion(during seasons 1-3) and almost every episode in the first 3 seasons I believe is centered around a creative concept (such as a race for snails in which Patrick enters his pet rock). Many of the plots of the Mickey Mouse episodes are one-dimensional and probably took little effort to craft. Of course, all of the episodes are 5 minutes long and have almost no room to tell an actual story, but the writers could work around this limitation. "Potatoland" was one of the few episodes I can think of off the top of my head that had any potential to satisfy viewers who seek "intelligent" stories. So the show resorts to what many could call "stupid comedy", but it is one of the best at doing so. I'll end on a positive note, saying that this is simply one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time.
