ABOUT:

Just when you thought it was safe to stop laughing yourself silly, Mickey and his friends are back with more sidesplitting Have A Laugh highjinks!

Volume 3 Synopsis:

Set sail for the high seas of hilarity when Mickey, Goofy and Donald go a-whaling and wind up going overboard – literally! Bark with laughter as Pluto is dogged by a pesky gopher who’s making mincemeat of Minnie’s garden. Then, have a ball with Goofy as he hits the links and – BLAM! – his “relaxing” game of golf goes outrageously awry.

Fully restored and remastered, these amazing cartoons also feature a new “Re- MICKS” – a mash-up music video of crazy cartoon clips remixed to the hit song, “I Gotta Feeling” from the Black Eyed Peas. It’s a novel approach to uproarious classic comedy that’ll make you laugh out loud. Bursting at the seams with surprises, Have a Laugh – Volume 3 will tickle your funny bone till it hurts!

How to Play Baseball (Vol. 3)

Volume 4 Synopsis:

Have an outrageously g’day with Mickey and Pluto when their adventure Down Under goes way over the top, thanks to a wayward boomerang and a humongous ostrich. Kick up your heels with Donald as his fireside hula dance “heats up” hilariously. Then, ride a tide of laughs with Goofy as he tries to catch a wave and – BLAM! – gets clobbered by his surfboard.

Fully restored and re-mastered, these incredible cartoons also feature a new “Re- MICKS” – a mash-up music video of crazy cartoon clips remixed to the hit song “Play My Music” from Camp Rock. It’s a bold, new approach to classic comedy that’ll make your spirits soar. Overflowing with fun and surprises, Have a Laugh – Volume 4 will paste a permanent smile on your face!

How to Swim (Vol. 4)

MY THOUGHTS:

Some of the cartoons these days are violent and not really funny (at least not to me who has to watch them with my boys!)  While my boys do love the new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, I think it can be bubbly and it is just so different than the Mickey I am used to.  They love it but I admit I miss the old school Mickey and friend’s shorts.  It is the original cartoons remastered, restored and remixed.  The episodes are not completely as they used to be as there are new music arrangements and voices, as well as new “Re-MICKS” which are a mash-up music video featuring a popular artist.

Each Volume contains 5 Full-Length Original Shorts plus 5 Remastered Versions.  There are also three Blams! and 1 Re-MICKS.  Each one is about an hour long and it is a nice change of pace from the new Mickey on Disney, although if you are buying this just for yourself to reminiscence it may not be what you want since this is geared towards kids with the extras.  The DVDs made me laugh and there is nothing dangerous about them for kids.
