Saturday video break: Re-Micks

So we spend a fair amount of our TV-watching time on stuff the TiVo has recorded off the Disney Channel. They don’t run commercials, so to fill the out their time slots they do a lot of promos of other Disney Channel shows and related material, and they occasionally slip in a short cartoon. These can be based on recent characters – there’s a recurring set of shorts based on Mater from the “Cars” movie – and they can be classic ‘toons featuring all your old favorites. Now they’ve got a new variation, in which some truly old school shorts – we’re talking “Steamboat Willie” vintage – are being remixed with current Disney music. They’re called “Re-Micks”, since they star Mickey Mouse. Here’s an example that amused me:

They obviously edited the pictures as well, to get the characters to lip-synch, but that’s OK. I still like it for its blast-from-the-past value, and hey, how else are you going to get me to voluntarily sit through a Hannah Montana song?
