Mickey Mouse Cartoon Season 1

[Eliz Cisneroz]

Mickey Mouse (also known as Mickey Mouse Shorts) is an American animated television series produced by Disney Television Animation. Featuring Disney cartoon characters Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy and Pluto in contemporary settings such as Paris, Venice, Tokyo and New York, the series has the slapstick feel of the earliest Mickey Mouse shorts while providing a modern update, and "presents Mickey in a broad range of humorous situations that showcase his pluck and rascality, along with his long-beloved charm and good heartedness".[3] The animation is provided by Mercury Filmworks.[4]

The series was developed by artist Paul Rudish, who was the co-creator of the Cartoon Network television series Sym-Bionic Titan and is also the series' executive producer and supervising director,[5] while Joseph Holt is the series' art director.[5] Chris Diamantopoulos was cast instead of Bret Iwan, because the producers wanted a voice that sounded similar to the one used by Walt Disney for Walt's portrayal of Mickey.[6] Paul Rudish, Jenny Gase-Baker and Joseph Holt won three Emmy Awards for their work on the series in September 2013.

The pilot episode, "Croissant de Triomphe", was first released as a special preview on March 12, 2013, on Disney.com.[3] The series officially premiered on June 28 of that year on Disney Channel & YouTube, followed by the releases on Disney.com and Watch Disney Channel.[3] A total of 18 episodes aired in the first season while the second season, premiering on April 11, 2014, consisting of 19 episodes.[5] The third season premiered on July 17, 2015, with 20 episodes aired.[7] The fourth season premiered on June 9, 2017, with 19 episodes aired. The fifth (later final) season of the original series premiered on October 6, 2018, with 18 episodes aired.[8]

As of March 2014, a total of 100 million viewers in the United States had seen the series, and it was airing in 160 countries.[12] As of June 2014, the show, translated in 34 languages, had reached over 135 million viewers worldwide.[13]

Hello, my name is Molly, and I am a certified Disney Fanatic! I came home to a Minnie Mouse nursery, I begged my parents to take me to Disney World every chance I got, and I somehow managed to make my Disney obsession my career by running around Disney World and talking to my phone like a crazy person.

I know animation styles changes over time; Mickey and the gang have had quite a few variations over the last 90 years. But there is something about this latest version that feels cheap? Too angular? Less cuddly?

Yes! It is so disconcerting. The new Mickey and friends style is creepy. I was very disappointed to ride the ride and see this style there too. Sad. Such a waste of money. How did this style get approved? A very busy Disneyland had short lines for this ride. Probably because this style is so creepy, absent of the beauty and joy of Disney. I think it was a terrible mistake on their part to invest so much in this uncomfortable style. I hope they change it.

I completely agree! It almost creepy and disgusting. I always associated Disney with wholesome. This style of animation, especially Goofy, is not. Quite simply, I think the direction the new CEO is bringing to Disney is ruining a lot of childhood favorites. Very disappointed.

Ah, nah, cheap disney cg would be the entire mickey mouse clubhouse/mixed up adventures/roadster racers series.
Omg I barf when my toddler begs for these .. bad movement, texture. , and occasionally completely wrong colors. And the very .. incorrect and generic backgrounds on their international travel episodes? Oof yuck

Enough is enough. These characters are not Disney. The adults as well as our children do not like these at all. What is wrong with Goofy?!! My little guy thinks he is sick. This is not Disney magic nor does it make you feel the warmth of Disney. Please listen and return our beloved characters! You are doing away with the magic that brings people to the Parks both young and old.

I completely agree with you. I hate the new style too. However, I have ridden Mickey and Minnies Runaway Railroad and while this is the same animation style in the ride, it did not detract from the ride itself. It is VERY fun (think how the transports move in Rise of the Resistance). So, as much as I hate the new animation styles, the ride is still worth it.

I completely agree.
They are disturbing looking to me. They all look like they did WAY too many drugs in the 90s and Goofy looks like a homeless guy who always has a bottle in a brown paper sack outside of a gas station.
Not a fan.

I too am a huge Mickey fan. Mickey everything. People know my house just from all the Mickey decor I have just outdoors alone.
You are not by yourself in this thought.
They did Mickey and co. dirty with this bs.

First I want to say I love you (as a Disney fanatic). You are the epitome of a Disney fan. I love your stamina, story telling, energy, sense of humor,tips, etc. You seem to be the person any fan would love to go to the park with. keep it going! Love your videos.
To answer your question, I have disliked the new characters since the first time I saw them.

Totally agree! There is no warmth to them and the Ren and Stimpy comparison is the first thing I thought of. Are they going to try to make the characters walking around WDW look more like them now? I am so turned off to them!

Walt made his creations with such care and precision. to run so seamlessly that it looked real. What would the rain in Bambi look like in this style. This style is BAD, CHEAP and totally against what Walt would do.

I agree that these Mickey figures and the cartoons they star in are alarming. Jolting. They are campy and outrageous. Just the way they were intended to be! Have you watched the cartoons? They are crazy! Some are hilarious! Have you seen the one where Minnie watches Pluto while Mickey goes out of town? She overfeeds Pluto and he becomes ginormous! These cartoons, I believe, are seen all over the world. Disney went for a universal funny crazy theme, easily understood by everyone. These are not the usual situations the Gang of Five gets themselves into! So the artists made them different looking maybe? Just my opinion, I could be wrong! Watch a few episodes, they might grow on you!

I too dislike the anorexic-looking figures. (No offense intended). There is something just sooo wrong with these caricatures. They dont have the Mickey/Minnie/Goofy/Donald/Daisy styles and bodies we all love. Could you really cuddle up to stick figure?

In 2013 Disney commissioned 19 new Mickey Mouse shorts to run on the Disney Channel. They were so successful that two more seasons were ordered. Walt Disney Home Video has released a new DVD with all 19 shorts that were made for season 1 and a Making of Disney Mickey Mouse as a bonus. They have done a stealth exclusive release of the DVD that is currently exclusive to Wal-Mart and is scheduled for other retail outlet later this year (December 2nd). The press release from Disney synopsis is, With the slapstick feel of classic Mickey Mouse, the series of cartoon shorts presents Mickey in a broad range of humorous situations that showcase his pluck and rascality, along with his long-beloved charm and good heartedness. Each cartoon short finds Mickey in a different contemporary setting including Santa Monica, New York, Paris, Beijing, Tokyo, Venice and the Alps, facing a silly situation, a quick complication and an escalation of physical and visual gags. The stories also feature genuine heartfelt and heroic moments as Mickey explores and experiences life with his comical partners: Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto.
