Saturday Morning Mouse

Saturday Morning Mouse is an American animated comedy sitcom television series created and developed by Paul Rudish and produced by Walt Disney Pictures. The series is animated by Mercury Filmworks and Walt Disney Feature Animation and is a sequel series to Mickey Mouse (2013) and The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse (2020), both created by Rudish too.

The series features a collection of CGI animated short films featuring more adventures from Mickey Mouse and his friends Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and the others and is based off of Walt Disney's character of the same name.

Though having Iwan to voice Mickey, this is the first series in the Paul Rudish franchise to not have Chris Diamantopoulos voice Mickey. Iwan was also the person who took the role of Mickey after Wayne Allwine died in May 2009. The series was announced in October 2021 in the 2021 Comic-Con and officially released on Disney Channel and Peacock on March 17, 2022. The series follows the more adventures of Mickey and his friends. Russi Taylor does not reprise her role due to her death in July 2019.
