Disney/Pixar Animated Short Reviews: #36 Tapped Out 2014 8 out of 10


Tapped Out 2014   8 out of 10

The gang are at a Wrestling match watching a fearsome champion wrestler beat up on his opponent.  Mickey declares to Goofy that he would show that guy "what for" and when the wrestler challenges the audience Goofy (taking Mickey seriously)  decides to volunteer Mickey.  Donal Duck meanwhile is more concerned with his nachos.  It was a fun Mickey Mouse cartoon that pits Mickey in a David vs Goliath sort of battle. Somehow throughout this comic wrestling match Mickey comes out on top after some random help from Donald. I really liked this cartoon, but it was derivative of a classic Spongebob cartoon featuring wrestling which was better.

The cartoon can currently be found airing on the Disney Channel and Disney Online

Disney/Pixar Animated Short Reviews: #35 Flipperboobootosis 2014 6 out of 10

Flipperboobootosis 2014   6 out of 10

The first of the new Mickey Mouse cartoons to hit the air in 2014 is Flipperboobootosis.  The cartoon centers on Donald Duck having a red throbbing sore on his foot and not wanting to go to the doctor about to get it treated.  Mickey and Goofy try to help out to the increased pain of Donald.  It was a short and very average cartoon compared to some of the better cartoons in the series. There are a few good sight gags, but nothing really new, funny or great about this particular cartoon and the ending just finished with a thud.  Definitely not one of the better of the new Mickey cartoons.  

The cartoon can currently be found airing on the Disney Channel and Disney Online
