this era of Mickey Mouse cartoons wasn't bland and saccharine as people say Mickey Mouse was until the Paul Rudish cartoons they were quite experimental in fact

This era was leaning way more into a more Warner Bros influence while being modern far from the cartoons where Mickey is actually bland

Mickey wasn't written one dimensional at all, he had actually had a lot of personality

Mickey is supposed to be the every man that anyone can relate to, and this era was really good at this.

this era was more focused on being hip and modern but it's done in a way that doesn't feel forced...
