Disney Mickey Mouse: Season 1

Love the laughter these episodes get from all ages.

Being a huge old school Disney fan I first saw these on the Disney channel and thought, "What have they done to my beloved Mickey? Has he become some sort of Samurai Jack /Ren and Stimpy hybrid abomination?". But I swallowed my initial asthetic horror and watched the cartoon from start to finish. It was short and it was colorful and it was spastic and elastic and it...was...magnificent. FINALLY Disney hit the nail on the head with an attempt to update, but still keep true, to it's most beloved of mascots. These shorts are pure gold.They are entertaining, and truly cartoonish, they are stylistic but stay true to the characters we have grown up with. It has the disney magic of being entertaining to all ages, and offensive to none. The jokes for adults are modern but still go unnoticed to the tykes but it is never unsuitable for the little ones. Parents can actually sit and enjoy a cartoon with their child without having to stomach long pauses while we are obnoxiously pleaded with to yell for swiper to stop swiping (or something equally idiotic).These cartoons are back to what cartoons are supposed to be... FUN, visually stimulating and highly animated. Everyone enjoys them and after the initial shock at a new and stylistic version of our favorite mouse, I began to realize the art is quite stunning. It was a breath of fresh air to see a cartoon living up to it's genre and is a welcomed break from the usual children's shows most adults must suffer through. Bravo Disney! Please give us more of this and less...well less of what is typically on.

Absolutely hilarious. I've watched this DVD with my grandchildren and we've all laughed until we almost peed our pants. The episodes are full of juvenile humor but there's enough adult content included that flies way over the heads of kids. The animation and story lines are from a throw back era but are seamlessly woven into today's fabric. I don't know what inspiration that Chris Diamontopoulos had to make these episodes but I'm sure glad that he did. I'm crestfallen that he didn't make more. Highly recommended. Buy this DVD and enjoy the episodes like my family does.

I love this collection! I initially found these shorts on Facebook and YouTube and noticed the retro-inspired styling and fast-paced look. The dark humor shown reminded me of House of Mouse and Mouse Tracks during the 1990s, along with other cartoons that I've loved. Watching these brings a chuckle from many parts of each short. Even though the shorts are almost too short, they pack each episode with loads of gags, fun humor and fast-paced insanity. From what I've learned, the original Mickey Mouse was more down-to-earth, somewhat rebellious, but was always there for his friends. His attitude has softened over the years, making him more likable to younger audiences. The characters also tend to break the 4th wall and address little quirks about themselves that were rarely or never addressed before within the shorts. These shorts harken back to the old black and white Mickey cartoon shorts but with an updated look and feel to them. I think any Mickey Mouse fan would enjoy these.I also noticed some of the shorts I caught online aren't included in this collection, so I'm assuming there will a season 2. I hope!!

My kids and I love these cartoons. They have a retro feel, but a modern twist. I've seen some reviews on here that say the humor isn't "kid friendly." I guess it all depends on your kids and on your comfort level regarding content. I personally found nothing objectionable. The humor is slapstick in nature and a throwback to the original 1920s and 1930s Mickey Mouse cartoons, which many people probably forget were produced before the age of Hollywood censors, so they got away with a lot more. There are some things in the cartoons that are clearly aimed to get a chuckle from adults, but it is very tame and would fly over the heads of most impressionable kids. If you are a fan of Mickey Mouse, or in funny cartoon shorts in general, you will get a kick out of these. I am so glad they were put into one DVD, as I knew I wanted to have them in our collection from the moment we first started watching them on The Disney Channel. Great stuff.

My kids LOVE these little shorts. Every single time they come on TV between different Disney shows I have to hurry and rewind it so they can watch it over and over again. When I saw they were all on a DVD it was a no brainer. I bought it! I I love the classic feel of these cartoons with a modern edge on the humor. My husband and I think they are just as funny as my kids do. I think they did an awesome job putting these cartoons together. We are big Disney fans and I am already excited for when there are enough shorts to put together a Season 2. There are 19 shorts included and it lasts over an hour to watch it all through. My kids do not get bored (3 1/2 and 1 1/2) because they are short and switch to a new one so quickly.

The show itself is amazing and wonderfully animated! Just be aware: if you have an older DVD player the DVD may have some issues playing this disc. We have an older Dynex Blu-Ray/DVD player (from Best Buy) and this DVD seemed to freeze up the player. It would just stay on the Dynex home screen and none of the remote control buttons would work. I called Disney customer service (or Buena Vista or whoever makes this DVD) and they tried different things, but it just would not play. Finally after letting it just sit on the home screen (while I was talking to the rep for about 5-minutes) it started playing! I think it has something to do with the fact that it's a dual-layer disc, so it takes a little longer for the DVD player to read it. After it started there were no noticeable issues.

My kids love this show, but two of the discs we used didn't work right.They seem to be defective but in different ways for each disc. Be careful to test the discs when you get them.
