Love the modern Mickey Mouse cartoons.

I recently found some Disney cartoons that reminded me of the old-school Mickey Mouse cartoons.

I recall the slapstick comedy, the dancing, and the social interaction with the sensational six (Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Pluto). You may have seen them on Disney+; they're called The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse and Mickey Mouse shorts. Unlike most shows about Mickey Mouse I have found, which are mostly for children in preschool and elementary school and teach essentials like counting, shapes, colors, respecting others, and singing.  

This show is more humorous in its own way, with the characters scaring and hitting each other with blunt objects and calling each other names, yet they remain friends. The one thing I love so much is the cameo of all the Disney characters from certain favorite films,

such as Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, and The Big Bad Wolf, to name a few. One cameo that left me in shock and, in a way, understandable was the one scene where Mickey Mouse was helping an elderly goat take out her trash, and while he was scooping trash, he scoops out Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

For a split-second, Mickey looks at him, and Oswald looks confused…maybe expecting Mickey to put him down, but no, Mickey tosses him like yesterday's trash. To those of you who don’t know,

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was the first cartoon to be an original work by Walt Disney, who tragically lost the rights to his beloved character due to a restrictive contract with distributor Charles Mintz and Universal Pictures, which owned the character, coupled with a betrayal by his own staff. Basically, he got screwed. The lesson here: copyright your work; it will cost you, but it is worth every penny. To be honest, it is understandable: Mickey Mouse throwing out Oswald almost like saying, “Walt succeeded without you.” But it is good to know Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is now part of the Disney family, and I think Walt Disney is smiling knowing his character is now home.  

Another thing I love about these shorts is that they have some episodes in a different language, but you don't hear an accent; you hear it as if they were born and raised there.  Originally, the cartoons would have the main cartoon characters speaking English in a foreign country, with two locals: one would act as a translator, and the other as a guide. 

However, they would have very little to no dialogue. And it would mostly be the background characters who would be talking.  This is nice to have the audience acknowledge the background characters, as well as the main ones.

One thing I must point out is the style of how the animation was drawn; it looks almost identical to the original style of Walt Disney.  Walt Disney’s style was known as Classic Disney Realism, or the Storybook Aesthetic, with expressive, life-like movement; it is not in black and white but in color.  Pretty much like everyday life, say when someone is out eating, going for a walk with a date, or just with a group of friends.  

Think of narrating a script in your head about your everyday life.  Except with cartoons doing slapstick comedy and unexpected things like cars landing on individuals, getting flattened like a pancake, then getting inflated with a bike pump.  The imagination is endless.  So, what is your opinion about the new modern Mickey Mouse cartoons?  So, do you like the new style called the modern retro and zany style or the "Fred Moore" Redesign?
