Mickey Mouse

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'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.

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!

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

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.
