Mickey Mouse is an Emmy award-winning American series of animated shorts created by Disney Television Animation. It features the Sensational Six (Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto) and other classic characters in contemporary settings such as Paris and New York. The series evokes the slapstick feel of the classic Mickey Mouse and friends cartoons, but tries to avoid cliches of the classics such as anvils or TNT. The shorts also place the titular character in humorous situations that showcase his pluck and rascality along with his long-beloved charm and good-heartedness.
It was executive produced and directed by Emmy Award-winning artist Paul Rudish, known for his work on Cartoon Network series such as Dexter's Laboratory and The Powerpuff Girls. It was announced at Disney's upfront meeting on March 12, 2013 and premiered on June 28 on Disney Channel and ended on July 20, 2019.
This is the second short to be spoken in Portuguese as well as the second short to take place in Brazil. Also, both shorts take place in Rio de Janeiro.
While this is the second short to be spoken in Chinese as well as the second short to take place in China, this short takes place in Shanghai rather than Beijing.
Every episode has a title card before it, featuring Mickey's head getting hit by a lightning inside a circle with APPROVED above it. This is a reference to the old MPAA approval logos put into the original Mickey Mouse cartoon title cards.
