What Do You Think Of This New Retro Look For Mickey Mouse?

Appar­ently this is the first of 19 new 2D ani­mated shorts that mix char­ac­ter design from the 1920s, back­ground design from the 1950s and 60s and mod­ern ani­ma­tion styles.

I think they may be onto something.

    It could be my age, or maybe that and the fine work done on this pro­duc­tion, but this is really what I miss in car­toons today. This is the style Mickey and friends I grew up with. I see this retro look as the best thing ever for old Mick and the gang.

    I def­i­nitely think this approach is bet­ter than try­ing to mod­ern­ize the char­ac­ter design as they have some­times previously.

    No not worth it i’m use to the 60’s and newer ways this is too old school for me, plus i don’t agree with the bowl­ing down of nuns that is some­thing Dis­ney wouldn’t allow to hap­pen makes me won­der if this is really a Dis­ney prod­uct. Or a pirated Dis­ney logo one.

    I like this.  If done right, going with a a more clas­sic look is always good!  And like +Paul Bucalo said this is a lit­tle more like what I remem­ber good car­toons being like.  The style of sto­ry­telling and humor is won­der­ful.  And +Eoghann Irv­ing , I remem­ber this Mickey: http://​may​orettes​.com/​b​l​o​g​/​w​p​-​c​o​n​t​e​n​t​/​u​p​l​o​a​d​s​/​2​0​1​0​/​0​6​/​m​i​n​n​i​e​_​a​n​d​_​m​i​c​k​e​y​_​m​o​u​s​e​-​4​9​6​6​.​jpg 
    Proof that mod­ern­iza­tion may be quaint at the time, but awful in retrospect!
