I know this is an unpopular opinion...

This series as a whole is mediocre, at best. While remembering (and sometimes watching) some episodes (like, say, "Wish Upon a Coin" and "Feliz Cumpleanos") can be joyous to me, the memory of most doesn't make me so much as smile, let alone laugh.

Let's go with the writing: most of it is just bland and unfunny, and relies too much on annoying screaming, ugly faces, repeated storylines and characters getting tortured for little to no reason for its own good. I'll admit, the Shout Outs to other Disney properties and the World Tour idea are clever, but that's about it for most episodes.

Then, the characters: Most of the time, most of them are caricatures of their former versions.

  • Mickey, Minnie and Pluto are mostly as flat as a piece of paper, and while they're the most sympathetic characters, they get the Designated Monkey treatment the most. Mickey was also portrayed as unable to say "No" in an episode.
  • Daisy's attitude is upped and she's basically a combination of Donald and Minnie.
  • Donald, who's normally ill-tempered, but has a good heart beneath it all, often becomes a Jerkass who has little to no good qualities and sometimes expresses sadistic glee in others' pain. He was also portrayed as a big tantrum thrower in that episode.
  • Goofy goes from The Ditz, which he normally is, to a virtually brain-dead burden to everyone around him in certain episodes of this show. He also becomes more of a Jerkass on occasion.
  • The BG characters can be very unlikeable.

The artstyle is actually very good, but some of the face expressions can be very annoying. Same goes with the acting: mostly good, but the screams can be very grating. And finally, most of these episodes can be easily fixed.

There you have it, this show's not that good for me.
