Yes, but the difference is the previous styles of Mickey have proven their timeless familiarity throughout the decades. Thinking of the ride potential for the previous eras of Mickey really makes me wish that Disney went with the intitially rumored "The Great Mickey Ride" instead where we would've gotten scenes devoted each of them.
I didn't mean timeless in the literal sense. I meant that each era of the character is eternally iconic. For example, Mickey's earliest shorts from the late 20's/early 30's may seem rudimentary when compared to later ones, but imagery of Mickey flying planes, selling hot dogs, and at the wheel of Steamboat Willie are iconic to this day. And because their everlasting place in the Disney iconography, I was suggesting that it would've been a better idea to use them in a GMR style Mickey ride as rummored would've been better than what we're getting.
They used the original pie eyed look as a basis, but the animation style itself is couldn't be more different.
Plot Twist: they're watching old movies on their phones.
I’m afraid not.I know you're probably right but I have my fingers crossed it might open on the HS 30th anniversary in May. I know its unlikely but I can dream
Ah yes I can see where you think kids would be confused, they look absolutely %100 nothing alike...
Maybe they should have used the original Mickey Mouse that way everyone could recognize him.
He's even hip and cool to relate to the kids...
I love the new shorts! The wackiness and, dare I say it, animation of the new style will fit this ride perfectly!
But please never ever bring back these nightmare induces!
Ha! Pick and choose, much?
Why, when you were choosing a pic of Mickey from the new shorts, didn't you choose something more like this:
Because that would have gone directly against your point they don't look much different. Or how about this hot mess:
Goofy is HORRIBLE.
The art I posted above isn't TIMELESS. It's trendy. It's a mistake. The shorts are fine. But they could have easily happened with the characters we already know. I didn't need a Ren and Stimpy version. And for this to be what Mickey gets in the first park attraction dedicated to him is crazytown. Completely nuts.
The art in this ride won't age well. It will end up being DHS's version of Ellen's Energy Adventure. IMO.
Since the early 30's (so close to 90 years, which means since 95% of the people on this planet have been alive), Mickey has had a very similar look. Slight tweaks and clothing style not withstanding.
Then we have the jarring "out of left field" design in these new shorts.
You act as if he's been reinvented every decade, and this is just another routine change. That's simply not true. He's had ever so slight changes and nothing more.
Then this.
And again... That's fine. The shorts are fine. But here is Mickey's first ride centered around him. And they leave 80 something years in the dust for it. I'm simply saying I don't understand it, and I don't like it.
I'm excited for the ride... The tech sounds cool. But I'm not going to like the art style. That's all I'm saying.
It makes no sense to me, at a resort with literally tens of thousands of references to the classic Mickey we've all known our whole lives, that there would be this one, single, solitary island in the middle that completely contradicts every single thing around it.
That's because he's voiced by Chris Diamantopoulos in the 2013 shorts instead of Bret Iwan
Did you see the newer shorts? They toned some of that stuff down.Ha! Pick and choose, much?
