Reception

Critical response

Patrick Cavanaugh of ComicBook.com gave the series a positive review, describing it as "nothing but fun and excitement [...] filled with laugh-out-loud comedy, modern settings, timeless stories, new music, and the unmistakable classic art style of the Mickey Mouse shorts."[16] Ethan Anderton of Firstpost called both the creation of Mickey Mouse and The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse the "best thing Disney has done with the trademark character outside of the theme parks in a long time," praised the animation for its style that recalls old animated shorts, and complimented the humor of the two shows, writing, "Not only is the animation outstanding, but it's pretty funny too."[17] FP Staff of Firstpost reviewed the series positively, saying it holds "nostalgic value as old characters revisit," called the animation "whimsical," and found the show entertaining.[18]

Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media rated the show three out of five stars, found agreeable the depiction of positive role models, citing the friendship between characters, and praised the humor of the series, writing, "This show focuses on presenting stories that are fun and funny. [...] Some episodes involve mild stereotypes based on the characters’ roles and the story’s setting, but they’re always meant to be funny."[19] Marisa Lascala of Good Housekeeping included The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse in their "60 Best Kids' TV Shows and Family Series of All Time" list, asserting, "Not only is the drawing style on these Mickey Mouse episodes more playful than in traditional Disney shorts, the characters have a much more mischievous energy, too."[20]
