First Look: Mickey Mouse Turns 85 With a Disney Channel Tribute and a New (Old!) Short
He's never looked younger! Those terrific new but vintage-looking Mickey Mouse shorts that are currently airing on Disney Channel have already won three Emmys — what better way to celebrate the little guy's 85th birthday than with a super-duper extended one? On Monday, Nov. 18 (8/7c) the channel will air Potatoland, a seven-minute cartoon that finds Mickey, Donald and Goofy on a road trip to Idaho to fulfill Goofy's lifelong dream of visiting what he fondly remembers as Potatoland theme park.
