Mickey Goes for Croissants

Mickey Mouse has been in only a handful of shorts in the past thirty years. Quite a difference from a character that started his rise in shorts (Get it? Because he wears shorts). Disney has now set up to release a full series of shorts within the next few months, but there’s a catch.

Scoot past the jump to watch the short.
