I assume anyone who thought any of the episodes seen so far are too scary have only seen "The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" and not any of the original Mickey Mouse shorts of the 1930's & 40's, or even other fare such as "The Runaway Brain".
The new shorts are much more in the CARTOON style and not the Education and/or bland corporate nothingness that people have come to expect from Disney. The animation is well done, rubber hose / slapstick style, the music is fun, and it's LOADED with inside jokes for animation fans, Disney theme park fans, etc. I've enjoyed these updated Mickey shorts from the beginning, and this new series of them has not disappointed yet.
