Alicia I love this movie so much
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
TheLittleSongbird My only complaint really of this otherwise excellent cartoon is that some of it was a little too rushed. That said, it is hugely enjoyable. Bizarre yes, with some quite effective freaky imagery, but also very off-the-wall in its humour. The animation is of very good standard, the colours are bold and Mickey looks better than I have seen him in quite some time.The music just enhances the atmosphere, often exciting, haunting, evocative and nightmarish it suits the tone of Runaway Brain wonderfully. The dialogue is memorable and the story while simple benefits from a great idea and is kept at bay right up until the end. I loved Mickey here, I always have although he can be bland sometimes when he is sidelined, but here we have a completely different side to him and while it mayn't be to everybody's tastes I liked that side to him.Overall, bizarre yet still excellent. 9/10 Bethany Cox
MartinHafer I've got a little confession. While I love Disney movie and the shorts with Donald and Goofy, I have never understood the world's love affair with Mickey. Generally, he is a very bland character and lacks the edge and fun of the rest of the Disney gang. I'm sorry, but that's how I've always felt.However, when I saw RUNAWAY BRAIN, I finally saw a Mickey Mouse cartoon that I absolutely loved. Gone was the sickeningly sweet Mickey and instead this "new Mickey" was like the old one done by the folks who made Ren and Stimpy or Tex Avery!!! The art style was much more "elastic"--with lots more action and weirdness than you'd find in ten traditional Mickey shorts. The new Mickey was also part action-hero and I really liked what I saw. Plus, with a plot involving brain transplants, you know this is definitely NOT your grandpa's generation mouse!!A wicked sense of humor, fantastic animation and more than anything else FUN--this is the type Mickey Mouse cartoon I would like to see a lot more of in the coming years!By the way, if you want to see this film, get a copy of "Mickey Mouse in Color: Volume 2"--it's included in this nice collection of Mickey shorts.
guruubii AWESOME full fluid animation, amazing character acting, and clever writing.Doesn't follow the innocent flow of the old Mickeys, but has a great modern edge. awesome! I watch it every chance I get. its the best mickey cartoon ever made. Mickey playing Disney video games! is there anything cuter? maybe him cowering under a striped pillow ;) His innocent charm still radiates through (lobo-tomy lane haha!) Mickeys capture of the monster at the end was an unexpected hilarious addition =3 awesome for old Disney fans that grew up and still love the old characters.
dominoz56 I agree with the above review that it is not only in poor taste for Disney. But I too was frightened by the harsh imagery and evil mickey, Disney can do much, much better. I understand why it was pulled from circulation for a number of years.I agree with the above review that it is not only in poor taste for Disney.
