Mais oui. Perhaps you've seen it already, or perhaps you've been busy doing productive things that contribute to the economy, and you don't have time for childish things that grown people shouldn't really care about after they're 12. That would be a narrow view of things. Cartoons aren't always for adults, but the best ones are for everyone.
Is this one of those? It's the first in a series of Mickey Mouse cartoons, and it "reimagines" Mickey in a looser, more abstract style.
I . . . I don't know. I'm split. It'll work fine for kids; it'll infuriate some purists because that is or is notsomething Mickey would do, and he shouldn't be French, and there are several key violation of cartoon physics, and so on. But it's short and fun, and there are many more to come. If there's one thing that bugged me, it's the scene where he jumps off Notre Dame, and we see it from three angle in slo-mo with the "Six-Million Dollar Man" sound playing faintly in the background. This was funny for a while when Dexter's Laboratory did it.
That explains it. Disney's D23 site says:
That's absolutely right. Thirties-inspired character design and stylized watercolor backgrounds.
I'd love to give examples and break it all down, but the blog software is not allowing images today, so there's no point in attempting to post the entry I worked on for two hours. Sorry. Hope it's fixed tomorrow.
