This is the best use of Mickey and co. in years.

Has anybody else bought "Where's My Mickey?" on mobile? It's the newest entry in the "Where's My Water?" franchise, which I adore. It uses this artstyle, and it's really charming. The game itself is amazing, too.

Where's My Mickey?

Holy shit I didn't know these were a thing! I just watched them all, and while I wouldn't say these were as good as the classics (especially not animation wise)... I really enjoyed every episode. They're pretty funny! Also, I find the art style to be rather lovely, feels sorta retro yet new at the same time. No Service is probably my favorite one so far.

Good to see Mickey and Friends doing something good after the whole Epic Mickey debacle!

These shorts seem more "Disney" than anything they've done in the last ten years.

This is basically what the Mickey cartoons should of evolved to but at the same time I think what makes these shorts more special is that we haven't seen anything of this quality at Disney Channel for quite a while.

Besides these shorts, what has Disney done lately with Mickey anyway? He's the mascot of the company, but he doesn't come up very often

I love the floral patterning and color usage in Yodelberg and that was a "silent" cartoon. New York Weenie is probably one of my favorites because of Mickey's expressions become more and more deranged as he pursued that dog. When they revealed the state of the hotdog at the end, I love the added detail and artwork shift. Can't wait for more.

THIS is what they're doing with him. Epic Mickey was the beginning but this is the first real step towards getting him and the crew back into the public eye as more than just a character that stands above their company logo. There are 19 (?) of these shorts and they'll play on TV, the internet, and in front of movies in theaters. Depending on how they're received will decide if there are more, and will probably help get the Mickey theatrical feature out of development hell.

These are going to be huge when Disney starts promoting them properly. Best thing Disney has done in years.

Heard that a new short, 'Get a Horse' will be playing in front of Frozen as well.
Apparently, it is also a hybrid of CG and traditional animation.

Nope, they're separately releasing these new 3-4 minute long Mickey Mouse shorts. They're seemingly shown on the Disney Channel though.

Aww. Oh well, I thought they were reviving that style.

That would be awesome. Either way I hope we continue to get new Mickey cartoons. It's insane we haven't had proper Mickey cartoons in years.

That's kinda a spoiler. Disney is promoting it as though it's a long-lost short from the Steamboat Willie era, and it begins as an extremely faithful pastiche of that style before... well, I haven't seen any detailed spoilers yet, thankfully.

You need to find a proxy located in the US. I just looked one up on hidemyass.com to use as a proxy in my browser (or just use some program to do that for you).

New shorts are surprisingly off-model and exciting. I don't get the deal with hot dogs, but New York Weenie really makes Mickey look deranged in ways I never anticipated. Along with the Hanna-Barbera backgrounds and gleefully abstract stylings, this stuff's pretty darn comic.

I think Yodelberg is my favorite because it's the first that really sells the art style to me.

I was a bit mixed on it before, but now I really see where they're going with it.

I love them all, but Yodelberg is my favorite, too. I've watched it half a dozen times, and I always lose it during the sequence with the Yeti.
ROAAAAR!!!
Shhh!
<whispering>roooar!

the little shaka sign the Yeti made before he snowboards down the mountain is such a little touch but made that part so much funnier. 10/10

I did not know the thumb and pinky sign was called a shaka

I'm just seeing this for the first time. I'm in pure shock at the greatness of these shocks. I'm totally amazed at the quality. Wow.

I liked it. For a while didn't seem to be a "Mickey" cartoon as much as a cartoon with Mickey in it (that is, could have been any character there).

Still, a lot of fun stuff, from him holding all the coins to Walt's photograph framed on the wall to Casey Jr. being quoted.



I do think there are moments in these shorts where the charm is totally killed by the seeming need to be gross. Close-ups of pores and nose hairs and food caught in teeth and such are far more Ren & Stimpy than Mickey & Donald.
