Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA I do like the style and character design - it's fun to see Mickey and the gang this way. Some of the sight gags are super funny too. The 'naked' subject matter is a bit -- odd for a Disney cartoon but (or should I write butt) whatever.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I saw the new one on Disney Channel last night. I agree with Jim that having naked characters (who actively know they're naked) seemed like an odd choice, but it was done in a more-or-less appropriate way, so I think I'm okay with it I thought the overall story was pretty fun, and there were plenty of good gags worked in. I as a little disappointed at the pacing, since it really just hopped from one gag to the next without any downtime in between. It reminded me of the "Have A Laugh" series they've been showing on Disney Channel, where they take old 7-8 minute shorts and compress them into 4-5 minute ones. I would have preferred they slow it down a little bit, but I also understand that they're trying to fit it into the interstitial blocks between shows (it's been shown several times this morning too) so I understand why they did it that way. I was also happy to see that they're giving Mickey an actual personality. As a result of becoming a corporate symbol, Mickey has become increasingly bland since the mid-30's. Although he wasn't doing anything particularly scandalous for a cartoon character, it was great to see him have real reactions and even take a little revenge. He's hardly edgy, but he does finally have a real-ish personality Overall though, I just couldn't get past the animation style. I just don't find it visually appealing at all, and it distracted me from the short itself. I realize that the characters and animation methods need to continue to evolve as time goes on, but this specific approach feels like a misstep to me.

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA I can't believe that I like these -- but I do. Sort of "Ren and Stimpy" meets Mickey & Co. Weird, but sort of fun. I love the nod to the "Swisspolka" song from "Swiss Family Robinson" Was waiting to hear the Goofy 'yah-hoo-hoo-wee' when the snowmen fell off the cliff. Funny. And weird. I really like this style of animation and the character designs. Doesn't mean this is how they'll always be, but it's a nice little skew off the main, corporate run way.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros The French one just seemed very strange to me. Why was the moped alive? Were we supposed to believe that other inanimate objects were alive too? Or just the moped? And why on earth was there a cameo by Cinderella? Mickey and Minnie can time travel to other eras just fine for the entire short (Nifty Nineties), but it made no sense to do it here. He was driving a moped, and I'm pretty sure that the internal combustion engine hadn't been invented yet in Cinderella (but just going out on a limb there). It seems like recently Disney has been pushing that their fairy tales are 'real' parts of various cultures, because that's where they originated, but I really don't think they're fooling anybody; there's almost nothing (other than some architecture) in the Cinderella movie to indicate that they're French or that it's in any way authentic. I have no problem with cross-branding when done well, but this was nowhere near well done. That said, I like that they were able to convey the story to an English-speaking audience, while having the dialogue completely in (simple) French. It means that they were able to do the visuals well enough that we knew what was going on, regardless. Not always the easiest to do, but it worked here.

Originally Posted By MouseBear Salutations All, It's great to see classic design Mickey shorts. I think the Paris and New York shorts were great.

It was just too over the top and the way Goofy was scratching himself, at the end, was just nasty. Overall a good development, MouseBear
