Dreams do come true! Kind of.
It has been confirmed a few days ago that, presumably in honor of Mickey and Minnie's 95th(!) birthday, Disney Plus will be streaming several new classic shorts over the course of four months, 28 in all.
Included will be several black-and-white Mickey cartoons, the premiere Silly Symphonies cartoon The Skeleton Dance, and even a few Oswald cartoons. Below is the full schedule:
However, I would have added a few more shorts to the mix, for a total of 40 new ones, with each of the blocks of shorts totaling eight per (save for September, which has a full 8 shorts already), plus a brand-new block in November. The following are my proposed new additions
July 7:
-Billposters (1940)
-The Eyes Have It (1945)
August 11:
-No Sail (1945)
-Two Weeks Vacation (1952)
October 6:
-Pluto's Kid Brother (1946)
November 3:
-Plane Crazy (1928)
-The Karnival Kid (1929)
-Music Land (1935)
-Donald and Pluto (1936)
-Don Donald (1937)
-Donald's Double Trouble (1946)
-Pluto's Blue Note (1947)
-Donald's Diary (1954)
And in addition, I'm still hoping for the eight cartoons that are (or at least were) streaming on Disney Plus in Japan (maybe that could be a December thing):
Anyway, I'm really quite excited that they are finally putting out more old shorts on Disney Plus! I had read somewhere that they weren't doing any more, so this is a pleasant surprise.
