Welcome once again to Mickey Mondays! All we do is grab a Mickey Mouse plush and watch a piece of Mickey animation from any point of his nearly 100-year career! Let’s see what we’ve got this week!

The Animation: House of Mouse is back at Mickey Mondays, and I think we might just focus on this show for the next few weeks. There’re quite a few episodes, and “Mickey vs. Shelby”is one of the most underrated for me. It centers on a character I don’t especially care about in Shelby the baby turtle, who makes Mickey’s life a nightmare in between the cartoons that also feature Shelby in some way (or his VERY loud mom, played by the great Estelle Harris, also known as Mrs. Potato Head). The episode itself is not only a great spotlight for Mickey, but we also get some outstanding Donald Duck shorts with Shelby, as well. Donald babysitting will never fail to make me laugh.

But the best part of “Mickey vs. Shelby” for me, despite the fact that both shorts star Donald, is the wraparound. This episode features a hilarious sequence with a deeply frustrated Mickey chasing Shelby across sometime rooftops, which includes visual and musical Mary Poppins jokes.

 “Mickey vs. Shelby” gets a lot of mileage out of taking Mickey out of his comfort zone for a little while. This is a highly underrated episode of House of Mouse. You can watch this episode for free on YouTube because Disney doesn’t seem to think House of Mouse should be on its streaming service.

The Plush: This week’s Mickey plush is another small stretch. Since video games are a big plot point in one of the shorts for “Mickey vs. Shelby” I thought it’d be fun to highlight this Mickey plush made specifically for the forgotten Xbox Kinect release Disneyland Adventures. You could actually scan this adorable little guy and get a new quest for the game! Did anyone ever play this?

It’s too close to wear i have to sit and keeps saying it “can’t see the floor” because i have my bed facing my tv stand with maybe 2.5 feet of space between them for movement. I’m sitting on the edge of my bed, unless i have to KICK something in this game I don’t understand why it needs to see the floor.

Edit after a few minutes of messing with the camera and finally getting it to work:

Im seeing why this game isn’t popular in the fandom. It controls like shit

Edit 2:

And not even a whole 10 minutes in and I’m tapping out. It controls terribly.

When it was trying to calibrate your spell casting it’s implying you do not need to aim at enemies, you do, does it explain how to do this? No.

You have to bring your hands up to your shoulders and push them straight out to cast spells, when you do this, there is no guarantee it is going to go where you want it to go.

99.9% of it has been cutscenes and the equally horrible controls of steering a horse. At one point a character (the older brother of the protagonist I think? They never specifically said but context clues imply they’re brothers) says “Look at that view” you have no camera controls. You have to view whatever is directly in front of your horse.
