- Remember those Mickey Mouse shorts you saw on CZcams and Disney Channel? Here's a video about them!
Wasn’t sure where to put it in the video but did you know that was going to be a short inspired by Runaway Brain, but got scrapped since it was too early to make Mickey feral?

The show slips some adult jokes in as well but you have to watch veryyyyyyy carefully to catch them
It's a whole thing, the sapient hot dog is from The KArnival Kid where Minnie was a night dancer or something.
How did Swoozie get here lol 😂
wait swoozie! the offcial swoozie? never knew you would be here
Like the part where Mickey & Minnie say "You know what two people do alone." before they literally start making mouse babies inside goofy's stomache? 💀Yeah, I'd say that's quite unsually unhinged, and is obviously pointing towards as an adult Joke.
@@SonicDudeDoItno way really? I never noticed cuz I was too focused on on the actual cartoon lol😂💀☠️
Let's be honest, it IS pretty faithful to the original cartoons. It's like a modernized version of those cartoons. Those old cartoons were pretty unhinged. I remember one where they're cutting sausages with guillotines.
Don't forget tge Mickey Blackface
FR That's why I loved it.
@@torshavnnewell wearing black face paint huh?
@@torshavnnewelldont forget sexist mickey too
@@xhareraeDon’t act like a dumbass, you know exactly what it is.
I guess instead of Disney toning down the unhingeness in the later seasons, they cranked it up to too much and I love it.
Inappropriate for children with meaningless fetishy moments. Nothing like the original in the 1930s and 1940s.

I think it works. Mickey was originally an unhinged character, but then became family friendly. This one mashed both together excellently.
We can’t lie, this is still the BEST version of Mickey Mouse.
Fun Fact: Most of the people who worked for the Mickey shorts would later worked for Wander Over Yonder and The Cuphead Show.
Strangely, a couple of them later worked for Space Chickens in Space.
Yep.
epic mickey:
Who the fuck is we? This is some SpongeBob fetish shit.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar
bro, DO NOT try to twist this my guy 😭 (it's literally a little bitty "we", it doesn't bite)
I freaking ADORE this interpretation of Mickey Mouse.
He's an actual character, along with the friends.
Mickey and Minnie are COUPLE GOALS!! They're at their PEAK in this show.
Agreed. I'm so glad this show is finally getting recognized. It's funny, it has a unique style compared to every other Mickey mouse interpretation, and as you mention, Mickey's a actual character. Amazing.
I used to think Mickey was boring but he just wasn't being written as a character and more like a mascot.This show is dripping with character.
I am happy and sad it is over. It did not get enough love but at the same time it did not over stay it's welcome.
When I was a kid, I laughed at all the Mickey pain gags. But now that I’m an adult, I feel bad for him
Relatable
How I feel whenever I watch a Donald Duck cartoon.
Like the one where he was bare naked because Donald was an asshole.
@@Calmoose415Donald Duck especially. The poor guy just can’t get a break, whether in a comic strip or a cartoon short.
@ryAxel2630 I know. That's why I couldn't watch those cartoons as a kid 'cause I'd feel so bad for him to the point where it felt cruel to keep watching.
One thing I appreciated; every animation based in different countries usually had Mickey and the gang speaking the language, wearing local clothing and the soundtrack also reflecting the location. Gave a unique flavor to the shorts and showed the effort put into them.
i guess this cartoon series was more diverse and inclusive than current Disney could ever hope to be
Truly diversity done right
*The Amazing World of Gumball* was the most unhinged cartoon of the 2010's.
Mickey Mouse (2013): Hold my Hot Dog!
1990s = Ren and Stimpy Show.
2000s = Drawn Together.
both. both? both is good.
gumball was like 100 gecs
2013 mickey was like death grips
Both are AMAZING 😂
I’d say Regular Show is, AWOG second.
It was fun seeing Mickey as a genuine character.
0:13 I think it's because Bugs, Spongebob, and Mario have personalities and identities outside of being mascots. Mickey is also a lot more synonymous with Disney, since his head is literally the logo. Disney's nefarious actions also involve Mickey himself; like lobbying the US Congress to keep their exclusive ownership over him.
Well, to be more specific, the **Disney Channel* logo is the one that has Mickey's head as its shape. The Disney logo is more recognized by its iconic lettering from the mid 1980's to now.
That's not really the case, Mickey DOES have a personality and identity outside of being a mascot. There's plenty of shorts, series and Movies showing us that. People on the internet tend to forget that, and picture him as the greedy leader of a creativelly bankrupt company, when in fact he's a character with dreams, personality and his own identity.
Yeah no, I'd say Mickey has more of a personality than Mario. Even then that doesn't excuse the total character assassination that Mickey gets around on the internet with him being betrayed as an evil corporate mascot solely because he's the most iconic character within Disney's lineup but that doesn't mean he should be held accountable for Disney's greedy and horrible actions because then by that logic I could just make SpongeBob's entire personality him being a greedy soulless corporate boss because that's exactly what Nickelodeon is right now but that wouldn't be right because that's not SpongeBob's actual characterization.
Do you know how many people don't like Mickey because they actually believe he's a corporate greedy, selfish, mean-spirited character?
@@martintobar7966 I blame South Park for that depiction of Mickey as a greedy, corporate, heartless (no pun intended) hack who just wants money. People just don't like separating the art from the artist, or in this case, the character from the company.
I agree with you there about Disney's actions being more tied to Mickey. The copyright law they lobbied for to keep ownership of him is literally nicknamed "The Mickey Mouse Protection Act." You don't see Warner Brothers Discovery or Paramount lobbying congress for laws that only benefit them in the name of Bugs Bunny or SpongeBob.
one thing i dont get was why this version of mickey mouse was discontinoued last year, its not like people didn't like this version of mickey mouse infact is was the complete opposite, i guess we'll just never know why this really great mickey mouse was cut so short
The original concept of letting Mickey get a little closer to his mischievous roots was a marketing decision, so probably that.
While it’s unfortunate that this series ended… I’m at the point where I’m kinda glad it did ONLY BECAUSE I feel like it began and ended on a high note. The greedy executive suits running the rest of Disney into the ground never got the chance to sink their teeth into the creative process, and that’s why the show shines as bright as it does.
I do wish this show would have reshaped the fab 5 permanently. They’re so much more rounded as characters in this series, and less like the mascots the suits currently running Disney would prefer.
things these days rarely actually remain dead and legendary, this cartoon better stay that way if it knows any better@@buccaneercat
well I mean they have a ride at Disneyland now so they're permanently there!
I don't know about cut short, it went on for ten years, has six seasons of episodes, and has seven specials and a theme park ride.
The finale of steamboat willie broke me...... LITERALLY BROKE ME😭😭😭
he threw a potato at a bird
Fr Im going to miss this series
It is basically brining old Mickey to modern day while still feeling modern
5:57 "You hit a guy with THE glasses? Huh, well played." xD
No, no, it is like this:
"You hit someone with glasses WITH the glasses. Huh, well played"
@@alejandroelluxray5298 No
You Mean: “Hit A Guy WITH Glasses? Huh, Well Played.”? Also Wreck It Ralph Reference!
Pol pot reference
@@nael973 Oh heil nah that’s foul 💀💀💀
The best I can describe the Mickey Mouse series is the closest thing we will ever have to a modernized version of the 1920s-1930s animations. Back when animation wasn’t just for kids and was for everyone’s equal entertainment. It kept the classic formula, balancing the line between “unhinged” (and/or unpredictable) and comical.
I actually quite agree with you.
Let me introduce you to The Cuphead Show. Made by the same people from the Mickey Mouse shorts, and is the second closest thing to 1920's-1930's we will ever get in the modern era (it even has film grain!) Also uses watercolor/stop motion backgrounds and keeps that line between unhinged and comical like Mickey Mouse 2013.
7:14 I May have passed out for 10 seconds after seeing that
Fr nothing could've prepared me for that
It’s my favorite part
My mind is in the gutter 😢
💀💀💀💀
@@irlfuhua Yeah rip life
5:49
I’m surprised you never mentioned the funniest part of that episode. That’s Nguyen believes that the spooky noise out in the woods is just a squirrel, only for Zombie Goofy to reveal himself. The squirrel then screams like a girl, and runs away, but then walks back slowly to pick up his acorn with such a deadpan emotion ,then screams like a girl again, but walk back slowly this time, with that deadpan face.
This by far was the most funniest thing ever animated, and I’m surprised nobody has made a 10 hour repeat of that scene.
Fun fact: 4:42 096's scream is actually a stock sound effect.
This is legitimately one of my favorite versions of Mickey Mouse. I adore the watercolor-inspired backgrounds, I love that both Mickey and Minnie have actual personalities and lives outside of each other, the animation is nice and snappy, and I love that this iteration of Mickey is the most faithful to his personality/shorts from the 1930’s (if you thought these shorts were unhinged, then you need to see his original shorts; they were just as unhinged).
Paul Rudish also worked on The Cuphead Show on Netflix, which is basically these Mickey Mouse shorts but longer, and with Cuphead and Mugman. In case you want more unhinged rubberhose modern cartoons.
I love the animation and energy with this show, not many cartoons are very cartoony anymore so this show helps fill that void very well
ah hell nah who tf let the modern spongebob writers work on disney 💀😭
at least it funnier
😂
ah hell nah who *vine boom* *vine boom* WHAT DA HEEEEEEE *vine boom* kai cenat *vine boom* *vine boom* ohio *vine boom*
This is better than SpongeBob
This is better than SpongeBob
I remember watching those Mickey Mouse shorts A LOT as a kid in elementary and middle school. They always make me laugh, and they still do to this day. When I was watching the short where Mickey loses his ears, I was watching it on a computer in my elementary school's computer lab and when everything became silent and muted when Mickey's ears blew away, I thought there was a problem with the computer's audio, it took me a long time to figure out it was part of the short.
This series truly felt like it’s where 95% of OG Disney’s passion went. Corporate greed, and soulless executives is what took over their animated and live action FILM departments (from Disney, to Pixar, to Lucasfilm, and even Marvel). This series, however, remained untouched, and unstained by the disconnected suits running Disney (likely because they assumed it was mindless entertainment for children, and didn’t feel the need to get involved with the creative process).
This series was an incredible breath of fresh air! The fab 5 were written 3 dimensionally, with so much more personality to love. The comedy and the animation was so infectious, I still binge watch the series frequently.
This is by far my favorite version of Mickey (followed closely by Wayne Allwine’s King Mickey from Kingdom Hearts, and of course Walt Disney’s classic Mickey). Chris Diamantopoulos is insanely talented, and to me, he’s the definitive modern Mickey. The guy can scream, sing, and gravel his voice, ALL WHILE maintaining that high Mickey pitch. Genuinely insane talent! I have nothing against Bret Iwan… but Chris should be the MAIN voice of Mickey.
@@breadandcircuses8127 Epic Mickey is one of Bret Iwan’s first projects as Mickey after Wayne Allwine’s unfortunate passing, and I gotta say it’s my favorite of Bret’s performances as Mickey!
As an overall depiction of Mickey, I’d say it’s my fourth favorite depiction of the character!
@@breadandcircuses8127 why not? He’s layered, and he’s not simply a mascot. Similar to this show, KH Mickey has more to his personality than being a happy go lucky character 24/7.
that’s your opinion, and you’re entitled to it. I still enjoy Kingdom Hearts, and I think that it’s a unique take on the typically happy-go-lucky character that’s typically depicted as nothing more than a mascot to mainstream Disney. That’s why (to me) Mickey Shorts Mickey, KH Mickey, Epic Mickey, and OG Walt Disney Mickey are all peak.
It was so good cause Disney literally poached a bunch of Cartoon Network people to work on it.
It's funny to think a mickey mouse tv series that was made for kids was more unhinged than mickey mouse series in like the 1920s where mickey mouse wasn't specifically made for kids
This very moment at 7:15 made me burst out in laughter. Besides that, I can agree with you, this series is unhinged, in a good way though. BTW my personal favorite episode is Potatoland; I always come back to that one.
Same here! I’ve always enjoyed the parks more then the actual movie so having an episode based on the parks made me happy (I love the it’s a small world reference its my favourite ride) I also love the feed the birds episode because it really pays homage to Walt, it quotes him, it’s named after his favourite song (the one from Mary poppins made by his besties the Sherman brothers) and for a split second you see him pop up
This cartoon also uses the 1998 Godzilla roar several times
are you serious.
Where.
@@kokotomenance344 I know the Wonders of the Deep and Roll ‘Em episodes used them
When I went to Disney World in 2018 there was a channel that aired nothing but these shorts, and I got hooked, I found them so hilarious. That was before I learned that they’re all available for free on CZcams.
Easily the best version of Mickey Mouse, Paul Rudish is a legend!
Pure fax
@@stewboy69Pure lies
HOW DID THEY ALLOW THIS?! 💀☠️ 4:03
Cuz it's FUNNEH
7:14
💀
Let him pour ice cream Into his hot dog
They did that too before in 90s cartoons as it used to happen in 1930s to 1950s cartoons
FR I WAS LAYGHING MY ASS OFF☠️☠️☠️🙏🙏🙏🙏
0:06 I KNOW RIGHT! It feels that they like to target Disney mostly
And why do you think that is?
I hope this gets more people to acknowledge this peak series
This is a great series of shorts, and honestly I hope in 2048 someone makes a Blu Ray of the original run of Mickey Mouse cartoons (the one from 1928-1953) so I can watch watch all of the cartoons without trying to pirate them on sketchy looking websites.
Unless you have Disney+,
@@BackwardsBlo They don’t have all of them, because some of them are pretty racist and current Disney wants to pretend that they didn’t offensive stuff in the past.
just learn to pirate better
@@Hadeto_AngelRust i would like to physically own it.
you cant physically touch video files though@@BadringerGronger
Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway is my new favorite ride at Disneyland, right next to my other favorite, the Winnie the Pooh ride.
I thought you said Runaway Brain😅. But it's a great short too.
My second favorite has to be Toy Story Mania or the Epcot sphere thing (If that even counts)
@@AAG_YT that sphere thing is called “Spaceship Earth”
@@jamesatkins5676 oh okay, good to know
Only part i like is Daisy's dance school..
This is actually my favorite series due to just how much creativity is shown
Honestly, I think that there is a range to Mickey that I think needs to be contrasted with the world around him.
The more morally good and intelligent he is, the more he has to work against those who are evil or to inspire those who are flawed like his friends.
If he is not all knowing and/or all good, then everyone around him must be good enough to make up for or to show the comedy in his shortcomings.
Good Mickey is inspirational, Bad Mickey is hilarious. Anything else is just Mickey Mouse.
Best version of mickey mouse 🤷🏽♀️😭 and its closest to Mickey’s original tomfoolery without the problematic tendencies I loved it I wish they gave us more 😭
4:40 The 096 scream caught me off guard 😂
This is an amazing video, I’ve always loved the 2013 Mickey Mouse shorts, they’re unhinged but amazing
One of my biggest flexes is meeting the voice actor of Minnie at a Disney restaurant with goofy because my mom’s friends is good friends with the actress
Rare footage of Modern Mickey having an actual character.
Disney: we don't wanna show or depict Mickey in a way that seems out of normal.
Also Disney:
This is why I love Mickey and why this is my favourite Disney series. It perfectly encapsulates what Mickey Mouse is truly about. Mickey in this is not the representation of a greedy billion-dollar company or some pre-school mascot. He is a modern interpretation of what Walt always intended him to be...
A character.
We need more cartoons like this
No we don't
@@1992disneyYes, we need more

@@1992disney YES, WE NEED MORE
@@dynamitoriel9056 People like you are part of the reason why not only Disney's RUINED, but also the reason why we keep getting overrated garbage like this.
I freaking love this series. I remember seeing it on Disney Channel when it first released and I loved the humor. Reminded me of SpongeBob and TAWOG. Also this has my favorite version of Mickey and Minnie. I wish it never ended.
6:47 the whale is actually a reference to a old Disney short and a sad one at that, let’s just say the whale doesn’t sing forever.
7:15 AYO WHAT THE
I remember the Mickey Mouse channel of this gave me a love tag on some comments I made like a "Sans" meme reference. For example, the part where Mickey, Donald, and Goofy lose their skins and became skeletons, I posted a comment "*plays Megalovania*, they hearted that comment.
no fucking way they know about Undertale
Give whoever ran that account a raise.
You didn’t mention this ,but in Croissant De Triumph all the dialog is spoken in French same with all the other episodes that place in different countries.
7:13 BRUHH 😭
This version of Mickey Mouse is the one I grew up with it’s so amazing I wish they kept making more episodes tbh
This is what reignited my love with Mickey Mouse. This is Mickey at his core, not the money hungry greedy rat persona the internet has created for him. It's very Looney Tunes, which is ironic because Mickey and friends came waay before Bugs and his pals. The best part is that you can literally pick up any episode and enjoy it.
"Formerely viacom"
Viacom is the parent company that owns Nickelodeon and Paramount.
i thought it was the other way around
Viacom was rebranded in to Paramount recently. I guess for Brand sake or something.
This is by far the best version of Mickey, his good personality still remains but the added touch of unhinged and chaos made him memorable and funny. I also love how there’s several references in this show and episodes exploring different cultures, it’s very creative.
I freakin' love these rendition of modern Mickey shorts. It's chaotic, but clever chaotic. Not like the later modern seasons of Spongebob where everything is so fast paced and every character does random meme-like faces every time they react to something. No. More like, the golden age of Cartoon Network clever chaotic. As in, during the late 90s and early 2000s. Those were the days man.
But not really surprising since the modern Mickey shorts has Paul Rudish in its involvement. This guy has been involved in GOAT classics such as Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack. Not to mention the modern Mickey shorts also has a quite the number of adult and graphic jokes. Even gore to some extent, disguised around a series of kid-friendly visuals. Which is also a staple of golden era cartoons. It's just so~ good.
this looks incredible. the absolutely chaotic unhinged nature of this makes me want to watch it.
Fun fact: Steam Silly was greenlit specifically to preserve the copyright of Steamboat Wille, which, although it failed, means that Disney *DID* want to keep the coptyright.
I loved this series. "Potato... land! Potato... Land! Potato........ LLLLAAAAAAAANNNNNNDDDDD!!!!!!"
I think the evil mouse associations literally only come from how Disney uses his iconography for their logos. Most of those other companies you listed just don't use their mascot as a logo often or at all
The only incarnations I actually feel comfortable calling “Michael M. Rat” “Donny Pata” and “Lanky Brain-deficient Rat-Dog”
It was always Walt’s legacy to make loveable characters - by mking then relatable. These modern day shorts have never been more dynamic and relatable to so many people - that it works.
This was great to listen in the background :)
This video is so nostalgic for me as a kid who grew up watching this series. I remember i used to loop 1:19 all the time and play where's my Mickey too much 😭
I really don’t think as kids we didn’t realize how unhinged this show actually was
That title belongs to Fish Hooks or The Buzz On Maggie, but I will say that this is the definitive version of Mickey Mouse
I remember watching this as a kid and it made me love Mickey for the first time.
7:15 What the fu-
Ren and stimpy esque
I just love it how it lasted 10 years
was not expecting that clip of the dog things drinking hot sauce to end with them exploding
Me and my siblings loved that show-
I'm kinda surprised the oswald cameo didn't get a reference in this especially that epic mickey was
I don't usually watch Mickey mouse since it's mostly preschool stuff now. But the 2013 Mickey shorts is something that i still love to this day.
Potato land was such an influential destination for me and my family. I remember countless summers down there
Mickey mouse cartoon have always been too safe, until this series, which became my alltime fav incarnation of Mickey Mouse! It's just so psychotic and funny. Goofy also being a murderhobo is a good choice too XD
0:07 i love how you included glich, i dunno why but i feel satisfied you did :/
Yeah, its kind of interesting but also a bit conflicting. It feels like one of those shows that would tick off your grandma, all like "this new show looks dumb! Everything was better back in my days".
Gives off the vibe of a parody.
i think Bugs Bunny probably hasn't been given the bastardisation treatment Mickey has had since Looney Tunes is more often a victim of the mismanagement, rather than the mascot sitting in exemption to it.
I'm 39 and i still watch these episodes from time to time. They are gold!
dude I remember playing that video game "where's my mickey" is based off of, God it felt like something I made up as a kid because I couldn't remember the name of it at all
4:42 thanks for covering
im so glad i grew up with this mickey.
The “:0 wha happen” line still makes me laugh to this very day
As I kid I watched Croissant De Triomphe as it was attached to my DVD of Planes, and I had no idea it was a whole series.
I remember watching alot of this a long time ago and some episodes really made me question what was I watching
I've really loved this artstyle and animation even as a kid. It feels artistically inspiring in a way to me?? Likely due to the line weight and stylization.
Looney Tunes was never afraid to parody anything or poke fun at Disney. Now Disney tried to go Looney Tunes with the Mickey Mouse cartoons, and they poke fun at.... themselves? Either way, Mickey Mouse will never have the status Looney Tunes does.
Hello fellow Looney Tunes fan! I appreciate your diagnosis on MM shorts' humour! 😀
It’s less of Looney Tunes and more of trying to bring back the style of Mickey’s old cartoons where he was actually funny
Always has been my favourite version of mickey
I love how you clarified that the concept art of Epic Mickey was never intended to be used in the game. Because I always get nerdy over that game!
Holy shit, I remember watching these when they aired ALL THE TIME. Specifically the episode at 6:01 !! Gave me nightmares until I finally told myself to watch the ending.
I need to watch these shorts again sometime.
I care not for Disney as a company, anymore, nor do I wish to support them. Or st least, I wish to support them as minimally as I can.
That said, Mickey Mouse has always been a hero to me, and he still is all these years later. Mickey deserves better, especially now that he's seeping into the public domain.
me and my team are doing something special with him soon keep on the lookout.
@@ArnoldStark123 Unbeknownst to you genius, you don't own him. Don't forget Children have had the power to draw Mickey since forever ago.

Why? I’m curious. And reeeeaaaally hoping it’s not due to any stance they’ve taken on LGBTQ+… because if it is, you’ve literally lost all credibility lol
@@ryanb4940 It ain't about that. Although *I'm* curious as to why I would have lost credibility about the LGBTQIA+ argument.
My issues stem from four things in particular: 1. Record lows of recent films, as they are all Disney cares about these days. 2. General lack of care or empathy for employees (as seems to be common with conglomerates), for who knows how long. 3. Malicious copyright abuse, denying even children to use the characters (Recall the Mickey Mouse daycare trial, and the Spider-Man gravestone refusal for the child that died.). 4. Shady business decisions through the making of their media, and my mind goes straight to using North Korean internment camps for filming Mulan 2019, on top of thanking the North Korean government for its usage (in the credits).
This was definitely The best Micky mouse series I’ve seen in years
I remember stumbling upon one of the eps years ago and being like “Disney made this??? This is insane, I love it so much.” Very different from other recent iterations of Mickey. I’ve been on Runaway Railway and it’s lots of fun! The dancing segment is pretty funny, as they play a trick with the trackless vehicles that gets them to sway like a waltz, and then shake back and forth in a cha cha. I remember the first time I rode it, the other passengers and I were surprised and laughed a little.
The fact that this isn’t ever the darkest of Mickey is crazy (even crazier that just 3 years before was that darkest time)
If i had a penny for everytime I watched a video today that had the word "Unhinged" on the title, I'd have two pennies. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice.
*I LOVE HOW IT SYNCS UP SO WELL AT* 12:58
This series was one bumpy ride
I remember this show from my childhood, mainlt because it would play in beetween shows in dc philippines, and I vividly remember the potato land one taking place in ohio (turns out it's in idaho)
This video’s gonna blow up, I know it.
I was a kid when this came out and this is one of many médias that I watch that made my humour so broken
