Mickey Mouse (TV Series)

*This article is about the TV series. For the article on the character, see Mickey Mouse.*

***Mickey Mouse*** is an Emmy award-winning American series of animated shorts created by Disney Television Animation. It features the Sensational Six (Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto) and other classic characters in contemporary settings such as Paris and New York. The series evokes the slapstick feel of the classic *Mickey Mouse* and friends cartoons, but tries to avoid cliches of the classics such as anvils or TNT. The shorts also place the titular character in humorous situations that showcase his pluck and rascality along with his long-beloved charm and good-heartedness.
