Wow, that is awful. No charm. Looks like Flash animation. And easily the ugliest Mickey in 90 years by far...

Plus it's more Pablo Picasso than Walt Disney, with Mickey's mouth moving on the side of his face instead of the front. Ugh.

I mean, I get that animators at other studios wanted to move away from the "Disney" style by stylizing towards strange and "ugly" drawings (like, say, Ren & Stimpy, back in the day...), but why on earth would DISNEY think it was a good idea??

Anyone done this yet?

Sorry about the quality.

Sorry about the quality.

So one thing I'm noticing is that when the flipping happens, the screen kind of bounces in reaction to it. It reminds me of the frog things on the big leafs on Navi River Journey, where the projection of their hopping is timed with the leaf movement, it's a great effect.

Like anything in life, not everyone loves everything. Many do. You don't. That's fine.

It's far from "bull crap" but you're certainly entitled to an opinion on it. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean they aren't popular. There's a lot of things I don't like that others eat up.

This is the design they chose. What's done is done.

New short released yesterday... entirely in Korean and still completely entertaining. #7 on Youtube Trending right now, too.

I can't tell if the screen is flexible or if the projection itself is of a moving (intentionally wobbly) image. I think it is the latter but not sure.

But I thought they were "bull crap" and no one likes them

PizzaPlanet · Jul 30, 2017

Before this was announced I really hadn't paid attention to these shorts, but now that I started watching them I can't stop! Honestly I was shocked to see how many views they have on YouTube.

If you pay attention you notice the trees are actual props that open up into buildings. It's some kind of cloth. Remember how they said it's a mockup they actually built?

Right? Most of them have over 10 million views. My brother and I watched at least 15 in one sitting, and we're both in our 20s lol.

I don't know about everyone else, but I loved that one. I had the "Swimmin' Hole" song stuck in my head for days afterwards. "No matter what your troubles, financial, legal, or women...."

Don't forget boring and terrible for anyone not in preschool.

Just the same, the Playhouse Mickey was the first really good-looking CGI version of Mickey. The animators even used his classic ears (as opposed to ears that work in perspective). Gotta respect that.

They are very successful, and rightly so. I just wish that design wasn't the design chosen for the ride. I'd prefer a more classic 1930's Mickey instead.

MP and I don't agree on much, but I agree with this.

Again, people have different tastes. For instance, I think professional sports are stupid wastes of time, but lots of other people enjoy it, so more power to them.

Minnie with personality. Mickey a bit mischievous and overeager. Really well done slapstick comedy. Terrible. How dare they! These are horrible!

And will be quickly undone when the feedback hits. Disney parks are geared towards the entire family, while the Disney Channel is geared towards children....I suspect that there will be a negative backlash against this animation style that it won't last very long.

These shorts are some of the best and most innovative content done with Mickey mouse in the past 10 years. Sorry for everyone hating these new cartoons but Mickey was always evolving and this is more back to his roots than anything I have seen.

If you can watch this and not manage at least 1 smile idk what to tell ya other than maybe Mickey cartoons were never your thing.

Your claims are ridiculous for a lot of reasons one in thinking that the average guest will care. As long as they recognize it's Mickey mouse which it's clear it is I don't see people caring what he looks like in the ride. The backlash with figment was that figment was removed from his own ride. Not that they changed his desgin. Given that kids and adults can get on this ride and recognize Mickey and co I don't think they will care what his art style is in.

Wishful thinking. You're letting personal dislike get in the way. The mass public won't care
