Can we talk about how effing sweet the new Mickey Mouse cartoons are? They actually have given Mickey and Minnie personality again, especially Minnie. Considering she’s always just been a “blank slate” and a damsel in distress, they turned her into this funny, slice-of-life character who is more than just Mickey’s girlfriend, a.k.a. what she started as. That’s not even mentioning the fact there’s Minnie-centric cartoons where, unlike most of the time, Minnie isn’t a fashionista or doing some stereotypical girly stuff, she’s doing slapstick and action just like Mickey is. Both of them also aren’t the “perfect role models” they’ve always been, and poke fun at how ”perfect” they are. It’s refreshing to see they turned Minnie from a girly girl to an actual fleshed-out character just like Mickey, Donald and Goofy.
