Sadly Over-hyped

Pretty Good

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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.

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")

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).

I agree with d_curlee85. These new Mickey Mouse shorts are nothing like the classic Mickey. They look cheap, and the drawings look like a child was trying to copy Mickey, which might sometimes work in front view, but not when the characters move their heads. The movements aren't round either, I bet there are no 24-25 frames/second. This seems to be made quick and dirty by people who don't know Mickey from his golden age. If at all it more resembles the comic book Mickey than the movie Mickey. Disney should have kept the good animators like Andreas Deja oder Glen Keane. Especially Deja had done Mickey shorts before, which were brilliant.This is just the cheap TV animation junk that you get by the dozen. Mickey became famous because he was nothing like the cheap animation of his time, but was done with care and high quality. Maybe Disney should think about this aspect of Mickey's history as well. But by the looks of these cartoons, nobody at Disney seems to remember Mickey's history...
