The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse

[Daikun]

Didn't Disney used to have a mascot at some point who disappeared for a while?

New Mickey Mouse shorts begin June 28.

Oh, and it's not CGI.

EDIT: Watch one of the shorts now!

I'm afraid I have very little experience with Disney shorts, especially since I love Disney so much. So I'm looking forward to this.

[Goldstar]

So, Disney still gives a crap about Mickey Mouse.

How 'bout that?

This isn't a part of these shorts, but actually even more interesting.





Douglas A. Sirois just posted these. Apparently it's been a dream project for certain people at the studio, him included, to remake the Martin & Lewis movie with Mickey and Roger. And here are samples of promotional concepts for it.

Who knows, maybe Disney will go back to hand-drawn if this is greenlit.

I've never liked the 'old school' white faced version of Mickey Mouse; that version always looked like a nasty rat or a creepy mime to me, but still, it's good to see Disney use Mickey and the Gang for something other than edutainment for preschoolers.

A Martin & Lewis type road picture with Mickey and Roger Rabbit? That could be interesting, if it ever happens.

[Daikun]

They're making a black-and-white one!

It seems they just did. (There's also more art in that link.)

It's weird that not only is Gary K. Wolf involved in these projects, he's eager about them and spearheading them.  I thought he didn't think too highly of the movie adaption of his novel upon it's release?  I wonder what changed his mind.

Check out Disney Channel's promo.

I'm excited for this; June 28th can't come fast enough. Hopefully my expectations would be met and I won't be disappointed.

[Daikun]

The shorts begin airing this Friday, and Disney has released another short on their website.

[Commode]

Anyone watching these, maybe have some opinions on them?  I would love to see them, but it's yet another thing I have to wait until I get back to see.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Delightfully retro.

[Silverstar]

Retro in look and feel, but funny.

I never found the old (pre-Fantasia) Mickey shorts to be all that entertaining, but these I like. Again, I wish they hadn't went with the white faced Mickey with the Pac-Man eyes look, but it is what it is.
