I'm not a kid. But I totally imagine being a kid and getting greatly amused by this new version of Mickey Mouse, when my kids watch it.
I'm not kidding, the new 'Mickey' series is like a tribute to arguably the most recognizable icons of animation, the mouse himself, Mickey! While some may believe that the modernized humor strays far from Mickey Mouse's original charm, but I think it's all the same.
The originals were known for their unusual, humorous situations, and tongue-in-cheek, purely slapstick, humor. It made a kid revel in the character of Mickey Mouse, the energetic, genuinely funny cartoon mouse.
And if you look at the new interpretation, it's pretty much the same. Same funny situations, same funny outcomes, and most importantly, same funny character. Just look at Mickey, derping around. Mickey's all about having a good time, and that's what this show shows perfectly.
I can't compare this with the originals, because of the modernized sense of humor, but still, this is the show for the generation. My kids love this show, and I do too, and for darn good reasons.
