    I have to say, I was a bit nervous about what modern-day Disney might do to “Mickey” in 2013. What we get, though, is really quite an entertaining hybrid of the original, hand drawn animation complete with Walt’s own squeaky voice mixed together with some more digitised animations - and with the cinema screen serving as a sort of gateway between the black and white original and it’s Technicolor grandchild. The story is quite good fun, too, as the mouse and his belle “Minnie” find themselves on a wagon train (despite the reluctance of his shorts and shoes!) only for them to be accosted by the big bully that is “Peg-Leg Pete”. After some scuffling, “Mickey” ends up on the modern-day side of the canvas whilst his beloved is in the arms of his nemesis on the other - so he’s going to have to think quick. Luckily, he’s got “Clarabelle”, his faithful cow, to help out too but can he rescue her? It’s an enjoyable compare and contrast style of storytelling that I thought might jar, but it doesn’t. The craftsmanship here is as much behind the concept as it is the technical aspects, and it whizzes along enjoyably.
