Mickey Mouse

I'm not a kid. But I totally imagine being a kid and getting greatly amused by this new version of Mickey Mouse, when my kids watch it.

I'm not kidding, the new 'Mickey' series is like a tribute to arguably the most recognizable icons of animation, the mouse himself, Mickey! While some may believe that the modernized humor strays far from Mickey Mouse's original charm, but I think it's all the same.

The originals were known for their unusual, humorous situations, and tongue-in-cheek, purely slapstick, humor. It made a kid revel in the character of Mickey Mouse, the energetic, genuinely funny cartoon mouse.

And if you look at the new interpretation, it's pretty much the same. Same funny situations, same funny outcomes, and most importantly, same funny character. Just look at Mickey, derping around. Mickey's all about having a good time, and that's what this show shows perfectly.

I can't compare this with the originals, because of the modernized sense of humor, but still, this is the show for the generation. My kids love this show, and I do too, and for darn good reasons.

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.

You don't expect a mega-monopoly company like Disney to do anything even a little bit far out, and they usually don't, but this excellent animation series dares to be silly and utilize a unique and beautiful (funny) art style. Actually it goes back to the roots of Disney animation because it's funny and not prudish and uptight like most Disney stuff quite soon turned into! (Ironically the creator of the series is named P.Rudish).

In my opinion this is the best thing they've done in a long time, it's so good it almost redeems Disney slightly for shutting down their traditional animation feature department. There's about ten episodes available on Youtube where I live and I laughed out loud several times in every episode and was amazed by the beautiful backgrounds and funny drawn characters. (I wonder when they will make the full series available in the Nordic countries).

My sister and I have been a fan of Mickey Mouse ever since we were young. When this first aired , I used to have very little interest in it. And after watching a few of the Mickey Mouse Shorts, I started to be interested in it.

At times, the humor is funny, but sometimes not. The storyline for each episode is interesting and cool. And the characters are likable.

From what we have today such as the stupid "I didn't do it" show, Mickey Mouse Shorts is one of the best shows/shorts in 2010-2015.

(P.S: My sister's favorite episode is "New York Weenie", while I like "No Service")

I have to disagree with the negative critics here - if you know the personalities and zany spirit of the animators at Disney early on - these feel dead on. I can especially see Ward Kimball loving these.

This is *not* the Mickey and friends from the era where Mickey had been softened and made completely safe because he needed to be a protected corporate asset - these are the guys who were completely bonkers and stole people's hearts in the first place.

If you enjoy the *spirit* of the early cartoons, and can handle something classic being updated to fit with current times, then these are entirely delightful.
