Just wondering, has there been any news on whether or not Iger’s going to enforce Chapek’s raising Disney +/no commercials to $10.99? I really hope not! :(. (I pay for Dis through Verizon and I don’t even know if I can upgrade separately to premium Dis through them!)
You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

I’m sure when the Disney bundle gets rolled into one that the price will soar anyway Vi. And the no commercials version will also slowly rise so you’ll be paying 10.99 even with the ads in the next two or three years.

Yes, I’m getting old and grumpy. I hate the modern life. ;)

Beautiful and way too cute. Kept the gag of kissing his foot. Really captures the spirit of the classic shorts.

I need to watch the Mickey doc. Anyone seen it? Any good? I haven’t made it back to D+ yet after the shock of Disenchantment… ;)

I thought it was pretty good. Not only does a splended job on the history of Mickey, (with a bit of Oswald and Ub Iwerks) but also Walt Disney's relationship to the character and how Mickey evolved with the company itself. I was a little surprised it brought up some of the negative parodies, (ie, Saturday Night Live's Disney Vault skit) and multiple controversies such as when Disney ordered a cease and desist to a daycare, and the early shorts featuring racist caricatures -- outside of the Treasures, those haven't really been acknowledged. While a fairly comprehensive history on Mickey, there's a lot left out. Mickey's career in video games and comics aren't covered at all and TV coverage is limited. The highlight for me was the short, I just wish it had been longer. Could've also done without the interstitials with fans. While a little light for us Disneyphiles, it does a good job at explaining how Mickey's appeal has lasted for almost a century.

I just finished it myself, and came on to post about it. Yeah, what Daniel said. :)

About what one might expect, but actually nicely acknowledging the negatives while wisely not dwelling on them. It had a good sense of time and mostly flowed well while going through the eras. It was nice how much time was spent in Marceline, and good to see others acknowledged besides the rightly-emphasized Walt. Ub got his due, yes, and at the precise moment I thought they were going to fail to mention Fred Moore, they did indeed give him full props.

One can only expect so much in 90 minutes, but neglecting Floyd Gottfredson's comic strip Mickey was a huge oversight. In the massive Taschen book, there is a large emphasis on the Mickey of the comics, with Gottfredson being described as one of Mickey's main creative forces - ever. Needless to say, Paul Murry's longtime contributions to Mickey's comic books also got no mention. Also, no Fun and Fancy Free, Three Musketeers, or House of Mouse.

The "fan testimonials" were okay, but I certainly would have preferred more information be given instead. And there was so much time spent talking about the new short (which was okay, because the animators each gave good insight), but the short's own one-minute brevity also left it severely lacking. The Superman 75th aniversary short was a much better application of the concept.

Nice to see Floyd Norman included, though they never explained who he was. Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall seeing his name on screen. I mean, not only is he a Disney Legend, he actually worked on Mickey's comic strip for years. Cool to consider, though, that he actually knew Walt, and Ben and I have chatted with him in person. Gives me goosepimples.

Yep, Floyd's name was definitely shown.
