I like what I've seen (Flash actually seems to fit well in the sketchy, storyboard/illustration style of the backgrounds), but I have one question: Why isn't Bret Iwan voicing Mickey in these shorts?
Maybe he wasn't available at the time these shorts were being produced.

Glad to see Disney finally found a use for feral Mickey after that idea was scrapped in Epic Mickey! :big_grin:

Heh. I like the Casey Jr. reference.
Heh, nice use Walt in that short.
Those are definetely all great bits indeed, along with the random Super Mario Bros. parody that occurs when Mickey is in the train tunnel. I wonder if Disney had to get permission from Nintendo to use the sound effects...

Also, if you listen closely to the short's musical score, the Casey Jr. song from "Dumbo" plays at various points (such as during the Mario parody and when Mickey is seen driving Casey Jr. at the end).

The animation in these shorts are great. It's amazing by Flash standards (no library expressions, no Uncanny Valley movement), and I also like how it has that stretchy feel that the original cartoons have.
