Mickey Mouse Shorts (2013)
 

Hey everyone, I don't know if any of you have heard, but there is a new Mickey Mouse series coming to Disney Channel on June 28th. The series is in 2D animation and will focus on the adventures of Mickey and his friends throughout various locations such as Paris and New York City. One of the shorts, titled "Croissant de Triomphe" is available to watch on Disney's website right now: http://video.disney.com/watch/disney...0a98650d776d97

Sadly Oswald (my favorite Disney character :P) doesn't appear to be in it, but I'm hoping for at least a cameo. Being the huge Disney nerd that I am, I can't wait for this new series to begin!

I like those designs a lot. Aside from Goofy just looking like a scumbag. But really great.

Hehe I agree....he's got the worst design in my opinion. Everyone else is so cute and colorful (besides Pete) and he's just..ugh. And where are his pants? :teek: It doesn't really bother me as I've never liked Goofy that much anyway.

That would be Bret Iwan.

WTH did they do to Goofy?! They took away his pants and gave him a tail?! That's.. just wrong!! *hugs all her Goofy plushies in fear* :teek:

Cute. I guess the humor would be like Teen Titans Go/new Looney Tunes style?

Modernized.

OH this looks awesome! Didn't even know...well I hardly watch Disney Channel besides P&F and Gravity Falls but there haven't been new episodes lately so I don't turn it on.

Mickey Mouse on Disney Channel? Might just be crazy enough to work :roll:

EDIT- Ugh just checked my guide. Its 5 min cartoons in between shows. I get thats what "shorts" are but come on...Its Mickey Mouse, give him a half hour worth of time.

Here's some screencaps I took:

Is that... Oswald??

:thyper::tlove:

Nope, it's nothing like that actually. All the interviews and what not have stated that they didn't want to just modernize Mickey by giving him a smartphone and making him talk in slang, but to keep his charm and personality and re introduce it in a new way to a new generation. Did you click the link I provided in the first post? You can watch one of the shorts there.

Here's a few other links if you wanna watch (if you can't at the disney site since it's for US residents only):

the short really put a smile on my face from start to finish.

I'm gonna say no, that rabbit looks like a young child, whereas Oswald would be around the same age as Mickey (in continuity, not real life). Plus, his outfit is totally different and he has a buck tooth. Something that is dissapointing is that it seems there are cats and rabbits in the background, yet Oswald and Ortensia aren't in it :x

I watched that first one and liked it. It was different and they spoke completly in French! Felt sorry for Cinderella tho. *lol*

fave parts:
Mickey shouting "Alons-y!"
Mickey hanging off the Moulan Rouge
Mickey running over some nuns, who then glide gently to the ground
The cheering Notre Dame Gargoyles. :lol:

Another episode, "No Service", is now available to watch on Disney's website!

Uh ok... that one was just....uh Goofy...itching his uh....K that's soo not for kids.... :ohwell:

Seems similar in style to the new Loony Toons show, how successful was that show? I know the internet seemed to like it. I don't really care but it does seem odd that Oswald is not there counting they're ging for the retro look and Disney did re-launch Oswald when Epic Mickey came out and his merchandise is now in stores after waiting on him for a while. Are they waiting for another "re-launch" after Epic Mickey 2 failed? I doubt they'll let him fade away after all the trouble of getting him.

There isn't really a "was" to the Looney Tunes show, its still going.

I'm loving this stuff.

I think they'd benefit from adding Oswald and Ortensia to the main cast....more characters for the others to interact with can only make the show better (as long as they're lovable and have good personalities, which they do). Just imagine how funny an episode with Oswald leaving Donald with his 420 kids to baby sit would be. I think it'd be hilarious. They also need another female character, Minnie and Daisy really isn't enough. Ortensia would fit in perfectly because of her style and personality, but also be much different because she is a mother and is much more mature than the rest of them. I can only hope that Oswald and Ortenisa will be in Season 2, if there is one, but seeing as how Disney barley gives a rat's ass about Oswald, I doubt we'll see them anytime soon.

Anyways, I really can't wait for this show!

Newest ep. Uh....Ok these are getting weirder and weirder.

Technically, this isn't really new. Goofy originally had a tail and didn't wear pants back in 1930s:


Anyway, I've really been enjoying these new Mickey Mouse shorts.:D

Yep! Bill Farmer still voices Goofy. :)

That lion didn't look or act anything like Simba.

Why is the Internet so full of people who think that everything is a reference?

Ok Ive seen first 3 episodes on TV. Im kinda torn with it. They are entertaining, while they last, but the humor really seems more Looney Tune-ish (classic, not The Show) than Mickey Mouse. Also I can't believe they showed dog pee in "No Service".

Overall it really seems like it could be any other comedic cartoon.

And my gosh...3 min shorts, once a week shoed-in between Tween crap is literally the least they could have done for Mickey Mouse. What is wrong with Disney Channel?

Oh yeah. Putting it in the middle of their most popular shows.

What monsters.

I hat Goofy in this series so far. In his first appearance it was like he didn't even know Mickey or Donald and vice versa. Also some good news, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse has been cancelled. "New York Weenie" has been my favorite episode so far, Mickey's facial expressions were very Adventure Time like and made me laugh :lol: I've also done some fan art, if anyone wants to see. I really like the new style, and it's actually pretty fun and easy to draw!

How is it 'good news' that Clubhouse was cancelled?

Kids LOVED that ish.

Well, it's good new for the fans that aren't children. That show gave Mickey the "for babies" stereotype. It's not like little kids are going to realize that there aren't new episodes anyway.

So THAT's the show that made Mickey for babies? Not the decades of other kids cartoons? Come on now.

And if you're honestly a fan that sits around and considers a children's cartoon being cancelled a victory....that's something else. Something depressing. Let the kids enjoy a CHILDREN'S CARTOON character.

I never said Mickey wasn't a children character, which he is. But I think we can agree that putting him in a Dora The Explorer setting and asking the viewer what color the square is gives him a reputation as a preschool/babies character, which he's not. Mickey should be for all ages, which I believe the new shorts are.

Wow, talk about being selfish.

"Hooray, this thing I don't like that others do is gone! Victory for me!"

The new style of this show is great...I've always preferred the white faces with black eyes instead of the style that has pupils. I can't stop drawing the characters! Here's Donald:



I wonder when Pluto and Peter will appear in the new show. I'm more curious to see how Pete will be...he looks more like an actual villain this time, kind of like he did in House of Mouse. Still hoping for Oswald to appear, even if he's in a future season.

A character like Mickey can exist in different interpretations and survive. To me you're coming off paranoid. Scared that someone might call you a baby for liking those characters.

Nobody viewed the Looney Toons as baby fodder when Baby Looney Toons was around because they're smart enough to know that it's just a show for kids. Let the babies have shows aimed at them with characters they love. Not seeing a problem with it at all.

Yeah, you're right. The reason I didn't like Clubhouse is because if you're a Mickey/Disney fan, people will sometimes assume you need to grow up or whatever. Guess I overreacted a bit :tanime:

You're on the wrong board to have that sort of mindset.

From the image it appears that Pete's back to being the jerky Peg Leg/Black Pete. Wonder if we'll get the bratty/bully version of PJ as well? Course introducing pre- Goof Troop PJ would probably mean they'd have to include pre-Goof Troop Max (who looked more human and had red hair).
