New Mickey Mouse Cartoons REVIEWS - 1

Again, the lack of logic makes this cartoon enjoyable! Of course, you could argue how running down the stairs is no faster than falling off a building, but either way, it's just the kind of logic that cartoons have in this world. It's all fast-paced and fun!

As I said before, this is the first time Pete is in a new Mickey Mouse cartoon and... well, he doesn't look as good as his classic self. But he is still voiced by Jim Cummings, so that's always nice. And by far, this is one of the only few Mickey Mouse cartoons where the characters don't look all cute-and-cuddily. They look more distorted than cuddly. But at least they don't look as disturbing as Ren and Stimpy (though I'm not sure if Walt Disney would approve of this imagery today). Oh, well. It's not among one of the best of the cartoons, but I gotta say it is pretty enjoyable. And plus, all I gotta say now is... nobody messes with Donald's nachos!

Okay, so I was kinda enjoying this cartoon from beginning to... near the end. I liked the in-jokes that they had in this cartoon (the opening music references to Snow White's song "Someday My Prince Will Come"). And there were cameos by Horace Horsecollar and Lady and the Tramp! But the point that this cartoon started to rub me the wrong way to a point that it became uncomfortable was when Goofy ordered the dinner and started eating everything. I'd hate to spoil it, but... oh, who cares; not everyone is fond of these new cartoon series, so spoiling it mustn't be a big deal. It's like he went nuts and just started devouring everything. And then that lead to a kinda funny scenario where Mickey acts like a knight, trying to dodge the crumbs Goofy throws out of his mouth, using a plate as a shield and a breadstick as a sword. But then things really got me uncomfortable when there was this forced joke where Goofy wanted to eat the turkey. He "unscrewed" his jaw, opening it wide, and gobbled up the turkey, along with the table... and Minnie. Yeah, too much of a forced joke! I'm not one for those vore jokes. And that's what it was: A VORE JOKE IN A DISNEY CARTOON WITH MICKEY MOUSE!!! Of course, Minnie is still okay, but it's the fact that Goofy swallowed her accidentally, trying to make us (me) laugh! But then things got REALLY uncomfortable after Mickey explained to Goofy that he just wanted time with Minnie alone. Goofy "unscrewed" his jaw again, supposedly to take Minnie out. But the next shot shows Mickey and Minnie INSIDE Goofy's stomach! He ATE Mickey, too, just to be inside with Minnie!  Okay, let me put it this way: it's not really gross. The background just looks like a pink painting, so it's not as gross as the inside of the cat from Gasp!, but... d'oh, really!? A stinkin' vore joke!? In a Mickey Mouse cartoon for Disney? That's just disturbing! And then it zooms out to show that Mickey and Minnie were still inside of Goofy. They kiss, and Goofy's like, "A-hyuck! That tickles!" Yeah, not buying it, people. The beginning and middle of the cartoon was great, but the ending is the most uncomfortable part, especially because we never see Mickey and Minnie come out of Goofy afterwards. They just stay in his stomach. I don't know if Goofy can just throw them back out, or... if they back out the other end... but still, just the thought that they would remain there for a while is just disturbing. Honestly, this is the second cartoon that I like the least out of all the new Mickey Mouse cartoons. I would only recommend it for the beginning and middle. I don't think the ending would please anyone (unless you like vore jokes).

I actually liked this one, too! Like I mentioned, I think this is the first new Mickey Mouse cartoon that happens to be a musical. There's a lot of singing in the short amount of time it runs. It's almost like looking at Epic Mickey 2, where there's a whole lot of singing from the Mad Doctor. Also, Mickey and Minnie's reactions to Donald and Daisy are very much exaggerated, like how Mickey faints at the fact that he sees "so much unhappiness" and Minnie gives him gumdrops to make him feel much better. There were also a few cameo jokes in here, too, like Goofy being the conductor of a band that closely resembles The Band Concert, with Horace Horsecollar, Clarabelle Cow and pig characters. Also, during the dance scene, Beauty and the Beast also make an appearance (Donald knocks into the beast, which makes it mad and has a fight with him). Then there's this joke where Mickey keeps talking to the sun and asks for it to shine so bright to help Donald and Daisy. And so the sun shines its brightest, which turns Donald and Daisy into fried ducks in the next shot! That... is actually kinda funny! What's even funnier is that they don't have faces, they still have their signature props on (like hats and bows), and they're STILL talking! I'm actually okay with that (at least it's not grotesque; it's kinda like that scene in Madagascar where Alex imagines everyone as steaks)! And of course, Mickey and Minnie have to fight on purpose in the end, which has some funny results, and then Donald says "leave it to the professionals". And there's also this long running joke with the sun and rain cloud, which ends up in a funny and happy ending. Over all, I enjoyed it. I say, definitely check it out!


20) Fire Escape
STORY: Mickey is on his way to see Minnie in her apartment when he sees fire coming out of her room. He tells Goofy to call the fire fighters while he runs up the building alerting everyone that the building is on fire. From that point on, it's nothing but gags and jokes on how he gets the people down from the building, possibly wasting his time on saving Minnie himself.
Well, gee, from a set up like this, what do you think is gonna happen in the end? Well, I'll tell you right now that Minnie doesn't even come out screaming for help. Yeah, is that a hint? Well, despite how predictable it is, it's kind of enjoyable. And I do say "kind of" because most of the short is just Mickey mouse screaming and making extreme faces that showcases his fear of the building on fire and his rush to get the people out and down from there. I think this may be the only Mickey Mouse cartoon where they make the most weird faces. I mean, not to say that the other cartoons don't do it, but I think this one has more strange expressions than the other shorts, mostly coming from Mickey. But then again, there are a few good jokes in this cartoon that might get a giggle out of you. It's not bad, it's just not as epic as you would think, especially for such a predictable ending. Plus, I didn't really see any cameos from any other Disney films or cartoons. If there was one, well it either had to be Oswald included in this big rabbit family... or the building itself to look like the building from Wreck-It Ralph.

21) Eau de Minnie
STORY: Minnie and Mickey have set on going on a date, but Minnie isn't sure what to wear. Soon she figures out what to wear and then puts on her favorite perfume: Entrancement. She just so happens to put on a bit too much and suddenly, everyone and everyTHING everywhere become entranced by the way she smells. She accidentally puts on TOO much that now the whole world around her is chasing after her because of her beautiful smell! Then she figures out a way to make everyone go away. Can you guess what it is? And then she goes on to meet Mickey on their date and... well, you'll figure out the punchline afterwards.
From reading the story, you can pretty much tell that this is the FIRST cartoon where Mickey Mouse is NOT the star! That's right! Minnie Mouse is actually the star in this cartoon; Mickey doesn't appear until the end (unless you count that joke they made with the phone). And truth be told, this cartoon that stars Minnie is just as funny as some of the other cartoons. It's all fixated on one joke: Minnie smells really good. But it all works with the surreal characters and events that happen in the cartoon: not only do the people find her smell very "entrancing", but so do animals, BUILDINGS... and even THE MOON (for some reason)! There are also some surreal physical actions with the animation here that you expect to happen in every other Mickey Mouse cartoon. For instance, Minnie is at one point mistaken for a flower that she is put in a vase with other flowers and her... butt ... happens to resemble the appearance of a flower. Then she lands in a bakery and gets mistaken for a fruit and then is flattened like dough and almost put in an oven to be baked like pie! As bad as this could have turned out, thankfully she gets out in time, and I don't mind so much because at least she's not being abused. For such a character that is usually adorable, they managed to get a lot of funny humor out of her without Mickey's help. I'm actually glad that the cartoon manages to survive on its own without much of Mickey Mouse in it. And plus, with a build up like this, you can kinda guess how she gets out of this predicament. But at the same time, it makes for a pretty good punchline at the end when she finally meets up with Mickey. (Oh, and you get a brief moment of her wearing the pink dress she wears in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse). I do definitely recommend this one.

22) O Futebol Classico
STORY: Mickey goes to a soccer stadium... somewhere in Brazil, I guess, to watch the game. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be able to pick a good seat to see the game as things either get in his way or he gets thrown out of every seat he's in. He keeps on trying to find a perfect spot to view from and not miss the game.
Yeah, there's not much to the story here. It's just a simple premise: Mickey tries to find a good seat to see the game. But the way it's played out is pretty entertaining. It's just taking a simple problem and making it a quest. Also, just like the Croissant De Triomphe cartoon, the characters in this cartoon speak a different language. I don't know what it is, but because of the cameo, I think it's Brazilian (yeah, now try to guess who the cameo is in this cartoon). Again, not much to say about this one because it's kinda simple yet so entertaining in terms of animation and comedy. It has great animation, great gags, and no disturbing imagery. Definitely check it out! I recommend it!

23) Down The Hatch
STORY: Professor Ludwig Von Drake (yes, he's in this cartoon) is showing a tour in a museum about the world's greatest inventions. Then he mentions a shrink ray machine, which amuses Mickey and Goofy a lot. Donald serves himself a drink while accidentally activating the shrink ray machine, which shrinks Mickey and Goofy. They accidentally fall into Donald's drink and... ugh... Donald swallows them both. But instead of being freaked out, Mickey and Goofy are actually REALLY HAPPY and EXCITED because they get to explore actual inner organs and bones! They mess with Donald's insides, which affect the way he acts outside. Finally, Donald realizes that Mickey and Goofy were inside of him all along and he tries to get rid of them. In the end, Mickey and Goofy start to grow back to normal size and come out of Donald in a giant egg.
Yeah, okay, it's official: out of ALL new Mickey Mouse cartoons, THIS is the one I dislike the most! The cartoon Gasp! was bad enough with the weird imagery going on with Mickey's fish as well as the street cat eating it, which takes us on a trip inside the cat, but THIS one is ALL fixated around looking at Donald's inner organs! It's... bleh!  It's hideous and disgusting! Who ever asked to see the insides of a cartoon character we know and love? And if you think simply looking at the insides of a character is bad enough, well, due to the graphics of these new cartoons, the inside of Donald looks all sticky, gooey, bumpy, and dirty! Not a pretty sight! Osmosis Jones is much better and more pleasant to watch than this cartoon! I couldn't really stand to watch our favorite, family-friendly, cutesy characters traveling through the insides of another character!
Well, okay, if you actually want me to judge it by the material and not the imagery, I guess there are a few things I kinda enjoyed. Like, they come across Donald's vocal cords and use them as guitars; Mickey plays one of them as an electric guitar, and Donald suddenly starts singing this wild rockin' song with a clear voice as opposed to his quacky voice. Okay, that was kinda funny. And then they come across Donald's funny bone, start tickling it, and Donald is just laughing on the outside. That was... okay. But then there are things like jumping and bouncing all over his lungs, which almost causes Donald to suffocate to death! And when Donald finds out about them, they fall into his stomach and either Donald is trying to burp them out or he's trying to DROWN them in his stomach by eating lots of corn and drinking soda! Really? This is the silly Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Donald we always knew and loved? Trying to KILL each other unintentionally and INtentionally? Seriously!? GEEZ!
Yeah, I didn't really like this one. The imagery was gross, some of the jokes were kinda brutal and dark, and the whole premise in general was just creepy, ESPECIALLY seeing how Mickey and Goofy are NOT AT ALL freaked out about being swallowed by Donald Duck! The only thing I enjoyed about it were the vocal cords and the appearance of Ludwig Von Drake, still voiced by Corey Burton, who does wonderful as always. But I'm REALLY sure I will NEVER see this one again! EVER! I don't recommend this one to anyone... unless you like Ren and Stimpy, to which this has the same style and feel.

24) Goofy's Grandma
STORY: Goofy tells Mickey that his grandma is in town but that his place just isn't the best for her, so he asks Mickey if she can stay with him. Mickey agrees and Goofy's Grandma comes over and stays with him. Of course, shenanigans ensue, and Mickey finds out that this is not the grandma he expected her to be.
So you all know what I thought of the last Mickey Mouse cartoon and how disgusting it was to see all that imagery inside the bowels of Donald Duck, and how I was hoping the series could redeem itself with a new fun cartoon. Thankfully, it does, and boy was this one not only enjoyable, but it was smart in its set up, too! I think this is the second longest Mickey Mouse cartoon in the series, clocking in at about 6 minutes.
On top of that, I think the premise is all you need, because there is actually a lot that I don't wanna give away. Of course, hearing the premise, you can pretty much tell that this is the typical goofball person staying at and causing trouble in someone else's house, just like almost every classic cartoon. But this one has about one or two twists that are really smart and really legit that I don't wanna give away! You can kinda see the first twist coming, but then it kinda plays with your expectations a bit, confusing you, and then gives you the twist! And the second one, well, it's a great and legit punchline to why the cartoon was made to begin with. I say, definitely check this one out!

25) Captain Donald
STORY: Mickey, Minnie and Daisy go to visit Donald on his boat. It seems as though they have been waiting for the day that Donald would take them on a boat ride, sailing. The only problem: Donald doesn't know how to sail. It turns out that Daisy bought Donald his sailor outfit because she loves a good man in a uniform. Unfortunately, Mickey has untangled the boat and now they are stuck in the middle of the ocean. They try to find ways to get the boat moving while facing water obstacles along the way.
Apparently, this is one of the first Mickey Mouse cartoons with the gang that DOES NOT have Goofy in it; the Mouses and Ducks are the main focus! I mean, yeah, they were also the focus in "The Lovely Couple", but that one had a brief appearance by Goofy. In this one, Goofy isn't in it at all! Mickey and Donald are the focus here (it's about time)! And the girls? Well, they're just there in their swimsuits, sun-bathing, while the boys do all the work. At the same time, the humor in this show is pretty well done. At first, the point is to open the sail on Donald's boat, so Donald, because he's a duck, tries to fly... but can't. So Mickey builds a motor powered by feet. Then, a shark comes out of the water and scares Donald so much that he pedals quickly to get out of there! That was funny. However, we all know that the shark is trying to eat Donald. Yeah, in a scenario like this, I was expecting Donald to get eaten, which would lead to a trip inside the shark, and you know how much I hate looking at the bowels of such characters. But... that moment didn't happen! It totally played with what I was expecting! Instead, we get a classic Disney gag where Donald is simply running on water, just like in the old Mickey Mouse cartoon "The Whalers". And I still expected Donald to be eaten, but fortunately, he wasn't. Finally, Donald does get to the top of the sail and just opens it. But then he's struck by lighting, which sets the sail on fire, and then they have to battle waves and a whirlpool in the ocean, blah-blah-blah, everything you expect from these new cartoons. The downside to this cartoons is that, well, the recording stopped before the cartoon could end, so I don't exactly know how it ends. But from what I saw, it was a pretty enjoyable cartoon. There wasn't really much to combat in this cartoon though; just a shark and some waves and a whirlpool. But it still has the same cartoon animation and humor that you expect from these new cartoons.
Now there's another thing I should bring up about this cartoon. See, I looked up info on the cartoon on Wikipedia, and I heard that there was supposed to be this new cartoon called "The Boiler Room" that was supposed to air today, and this one, "Captain Donald" was gonna air a few weeks later. "The Boiler Room" is pretty much Mickey battling a monster in Minnie's apartment. I was expecting to see it, but I see this other cartoon air instead. Maybe someone got the dates mixed, or "The Boiler Room" went through some problems that it didn't air when it was supposed to. Maybe the premise sounded a bit too unsettling: Mickey fighting a monster in Minnie's apartment. Maybe the cartoon had too-violent moments, maybe the monster was too hideous, or maybe they went over budget and didn't have time to finish it. Maybe the animation lacked in some parts. I don't know. Then again, Wikipedia isn't entirely accurate, so I don't know if the dates were mixed. But over all, I found this new cartoon enjoyable, even if I didn't see the ending. Who knows, maybe it has a twist ending or it ends fine. Whatever it is, I'm glad I saw it.

26) Mumbai Madness
STORY: The adventure takes place in India (I assume). There's this elephant character who I think is supposed to be a celebrity. Mickey offers him a ride on his little car. The elephant wants to visit the mountain, so Mickey decides to take him there, resisting the need of a map. Along the way to the mountain, certain animals and people keep blocking Mickey's path, so Mickey respects the objects in his way and decides to go on different directions, ultimately getting lost. He finally decides to use a map, but he still keeps getting lost. Finally, he spots the mountain and uses some kind of hot chili to fuel his car to get there quickly.
After quite some time, probably in a whole month, a new Mickey Mouse cartoon finally airs. Apparently, the one cartoon called The Boiler Room has still not aired, either because it ran some trouble in animation, or there was probably material that was not suitable for TV. Well, either way, we still have this cartoon, and it's just as enjoyable as some of the others. Just like in Croissant De Triomphe, all the characters speak a different language and you have no idea what they're saying, but the animation and imagery speaks to us, so there's no need to understand the language. And just like the other cartoons, there's the same old surreal animation, jokes, and imagery that gives the same humor that the other cartoons offer. It does have a cool scene where Mickey dances and sings (in a different voice) a Bollywood kind of song to move some cows out of the way. Also, I think I happened to see Oswald in there, somewhere. I could be wrong, but I did happen to see a rabbit with long ears and a long nose, so it must have been Oswald. Though I CAN tell you, the vultures from The Jungle Book do make an appearance in the desert scene. Its ending is a little... confusing. But it ends on a happy note, and that's all that matters. Anyway, I say check it out if you want some fun.

27) The Boiler Room
STORY: There's a rumor in Minnie's apartment that there is a monster down in the boiler room, and nobody dares to go in. Mickey doesn't believe it's a monster; plus, he's also the repair man for the boiler room. But when Mickey goes down there, the eeriness of the room starts to give him the creeps. Finally, he meets up with the monster in the boiler room... which is actually the boiler itself, steaming with anger, and he tries his best to battle it and fix the plumbing to return the water to the whole apartment.
FINALLY, this cartoon has aired! What kept it so long? And to tell you the truth... I actually got some few things more different than what I expected to see in this cartoon. At first, when I heard that the premise was that Mickey would battle a monster in the boiler room, I had expectations for a twist ending where it would be either Goofy or a familiar Disney monster, or maybe even Sulley. But no, I got quite surprised.
I did enjoy this episode... except for a small certain scene that I guess was predictable enough to happen. There's a scene where Mickey is creeping around with a flashlight, searching for "the monster". We hear his heart starts beating... and, yeah, I knew where this was going. I was thinking to myself, "Okay, we are gonna have a quick look inside his chest and see his heart beating fast just for a gross-out joke looking at his inner chest with ribs and lungs and such and such." And... yeah, that's exactly what happened. Mickey told his heart to "knock it off in there!", and then, for a solid 7 or 8 seconds, we go inside his chest and see his heart, along with his ribs and lungs and... well, you know how I feel about that. I mean, it's not Down The Hatch, but it's still disgusting. It was just played for a heart racing joke, but I'm wondering if it was necessary at all. Why couldn't they just do what they did in the animated Grinch special, where an X-ray just showed his heart beating? Not everything here has to be like Ren and Stimpy's off-color and dark humor.
Well, despite those couple of seconds, I say the rest of the cartoon is kinda fun. There is actually another joke involving bones that... I actually found really funny! Before Mickey goes into the boiler room, he explains that it's the water that is shut off and he has to fix it back. "Without it, (points to a guy with long facial hair) that guy can't shave, (points to a smelly guy) that guy can't shower, and... (points to a skeleton guy sitting against the wall) ...I think that guy's dead." The "dead" guy says, "I just had dry skin." I actually found that kinda funny! I don't know why! Maybe because Mickey stated what he thought he saw and it was straight-forward, maybe that's what caused the humor! And later on, when the water does come back, the skeleton guy sits in his tub, and all his "dry skin" grows back, turning him into a handsome guy. So, yeah, this episode is still enjoyable... minus that few seconds inside Mickey's chest... that I might check out again. At least I can say this is more watchable than Gasp! in my opinion. If the details I mentioned here don't bother you, I say check it out.

28) Space Walkies
STORY: Mickey and his dog Pluto (yes, Pluto is finally in another Mickey cartoon) are in some mission in space. They are set to return to Earth, but Pluto has to "go". Because Mickey has set the rocket to speed towards the Earth in T-Minus 3:00 minutes, he tells Pluto to make it quick. So they don their space suits as they search for someplace for Pluto to do his business. But while Mickey isn't looking, Pluto floats away towards space trash, to which Mickey has to get him out of. He tosses what looks like a disc so Pluto gets out of there, but it turns out it was a mini-space ship with Chip n' Dale inside of it. Pluto chases after them, getting both him and Mickey lost in space. But thanks to an asteroid traffic, they use it to get back into their ship before it speeds towards the Earth. Upon arriving to Earth, Mickey... has his own business to take care of...
I really enjoyed this one. In space, there could be many possibilities for adventure. And while this cartoon doesn't take too much advantage of it, it's the surreal humor that makes the jokes in space work. For example, because Pluto is a dog that has to "go" in space, they come across something that looks like a giant fire-hydrant, but really it's just a satellite turned on its side to form a fire-hydrant. That was creative!
And, because they're in space, guess what joke they make with the name "Pluto"? Yeah, you can probably figure it out.
Also, what where Chip n' Dale doing in space? I don't know, but it sure was fun to see them. And they're not the only cameos in this cartoon. When Mickey arrives at the station... well, anyone who's been to Disney World, look familiar?
Anyway, check it out if you haven't seen it. It's a lot of fun.
29) Mickey Monkey
STORY: The gang (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy) are getting ready to go on a jungle cruise (probably a reference to Jungle Cruise from the Disney Parks). Mickey is ready to head out until a monkey ends up in his tree house. Mickey and the monkey accidentally end up mixing themselves up; the monkey ends up wearing Mickey's clothes while Mickey is completely naked. And seeing how they kinda look alike, the gang confuse the monkey for Mickey while Mickey tries to go after them to get his clothes back. Hijinks ensue, blah-blah-blah... not much to say.
Really, there's not much to say about this cartoon. It's just straight-forward in its premise. Monkey gets Mickey's clothes, the gang think the monkey is Mickey, naked Mickey goes after them while getting stuck in some jungle obstacles. It's not as funny as some of the other cartoons, but it's not bad, either. I'm kind of mixed on the ending, though. I don't want to give anything away... oh, who cares, anyway. So the whole cartoon was about the gang confusing a monkey in Mickey's clothes for Mickey Mouse. In the end, the roles are reversed. They go over some waterfall and apparently land in some crocodile patch. We don't see them land; we just see Mickey still riding the boat. But when he addresses his gang, we see crocodiles wearing the gang's clothes. It's a vice-versa of what the whole cartoon was about. I know Mickey confused the crocs for Minnie, Donald and Goofy, but in that case... WHERE ARE Minnie, Donald and Goofy? Did they get misplaced with the crocs? Or were they eaten by the crocs? I hope they weren't eaten. That could give any person like myself nightmares. Well, we aren't shown or told what happened to them. I guess it's just audience interpretation while we can assume they are all looking for Mickey, but maybe a little explanation would be nice. Either way, I did like this one. Like I said, I think the cruise adventure is rather a reference to Jungle Cruise from the Disney Parks, as well as Mickey's hat and him driving the boat in the end, being a reference to his very first appearance in Steamboat Willie. It's not bad. Check it out.

30) Clogged
STORY: Minnie sees a dying, dry flower and tries to water it with a windmill that seems to be not working very well. . . . That's it. Yeah, that's really all there is to it.

Very short subject matter, but just like every other Mickey Mouse cartoon, it tries hard on its quick and surreal humor. The many ways Minnie tries to get the windmill to work is entertaining enough. Even her facial reactions, while not always pretty, manage to get a giggle. Also, this is the SECOND new Mickey Mouse cartoon where Mickey is not the main star. In fact, he NEVER appears in this cartoon. It's all Minnie's show now, which is why the title card says "Minnie Mouse" instead of "Mickey Mouse". However, we do get a Donald Duck cameo. And... well, I dare not ruin what happens with him in this cartoon because it's really funny. Hint: it's so CUTE, it's funny. Check out the cartoon for yourself in order to see what happens.

31) Goofy's First LoveAgain, very short description, but it's good enough for whatever happens. And just about everything that happens in this cartoon is pretty funny. I like the part where they put make-up on Goofy. I won't ruin what happens, but it's really darn hilarious! And then Donald suggest that Goofy needs to be rich in order to impress his love. Guess who shows up? And he shows up two more times in the cartoon, too!
The ending... is kind of debatable. First of all, being Goofy, he would either be unpredictable or predictable. At first, I was wondering how the ending would turn out, then I was fooled, but then it came back to what I originally predicted. So I can't really say if it was funny or a let-down. I won't ruin it here for those who have their own sense of humor. Let me just say it ends with a marriage... but a very strange marriage, given the subject matter. But I really did like this one, too. I say check it out.

32) Doggone BiscuitsWell, given the premise, I kinda predicted how the cartoon would end, but actually, it gave me a twist that I really liked. Usually, cartoons like these end up with the conflict coming back and the person who owns the subject gets angry, but this cartoon ended in a way I didn't really expect, which I kinda like. Of course, all throughout the cartoon, it just takes advantage of what they could do with Pluto being a big blob of fat. There's a scene where Minnie pushes Pluto into her sweat box room, and there's a picture of how fat she used to look before she used it. Whoa! Any fetishists on that one? And then it turns out that the sweat box worked TOO well, because Pluto got so thin and dry, that Minnie had to fill him back up with water... resulting in him getting fat again. Really, Minnie? You didn't know when to stop? Oh, well, at least we do get a cameo: Dogcatcher Pete, who looks just like he did in the classic Mickey Mouse cartoon, The Worm Turns. Also, doesn't Minnie look cute as a Mail Lady? Quite enjoyable cartoon. Check it out when you have the time.

33) Workin' StiffApparently, I missed this episode on the day it aired. Not sure how that happened. Maybe I confused it for a previous title. But I finally saw it, and it was just as funny. Well, at least for an "average" cartoon. Most of these new Mickey Mouse cartoons happen to be adventurous and have a lot of energy. There is some energy, here, too, but the majority of it is just interacting with the boss at the job interview. But it doesn't mean it's awful. They still try to keep it funny with very little going on. The comedy here mostly comes from the interaction and the points of views from the characters. I love how they try to make Goofy talk in response to the questions. Mickey does most of the talking as he is understandable. However, when Donald has a turn, all we hear are "quacks", and the boss' response to them... Hilarious and clever! And then Mickey and Donald's faces when Goofy comes out with a SNORT... priceless! Now there IS some wild animation here, too, such as the scene where they try waking Goofy up, though it's only for a little while. And then there's a part in the interview where Goofy has a nightmare... oh, the chaos. And then, at the end, we see what job Goofy has. I won't spoil it here. Truth is, it's not exactly funny, but you swear you probably wouldn't have seen it coming, so it's kinda clever. And given Goofy's character, maybe it's a perfect job for him. Definitely a decent cartoon. Go ahead and check it out.

35) A Flower For MinnieWell, that's pretty much the synopsis. I don't know if I should spoil too much, even though there are no real surprises. As for this cartoon... I don't really know what to say about it. I don't dislike it, but something about it kinda leaves me a bit empty. Maybe it has to do with the fact that Mickey doesn't quite look right. I know, this cartoon series is about the animation and style matching the comedy of the characters, so faces have to change as well to match the humor. But Mickey doesn't really look like himself at all in any of the shots in this cartoon. In fact, dare I say, he kinda looks messy and ugly. I mean, okay, because he keeps getting beat up a lot in this cartoon, he becomes more rotten near the end. But they could at least have him look rather decent at some points. Also, am I the only one that's a little disturbed that he STEALS a white flower that's supposed to be some kind of symbol on a parade float at a parade? There's even a cop there played by Peg Leg Pete trying to catch Mickey for stealing! Sure, he's doing it to please Minnie... and it does end up with a kinda funny ending... but... really? Mickey steals? Also, there's this moment where he pulls on what he thinks is a white flower but turns out is a guy's shirt, revealing his nipple. That's just... eww. But, anyway, I do think this cartoon does have some good funny things in it. Donald and Goofy appear briefly (though I think Goofy was a bit mean in this cartoon). I just think there's not really that much to please me here. Check it out for yourselves and judge it on your own.
