Disney Channel to Air New Short for Mickey Mouse’s Birthday

Mickey Mouse will celebrate his 85th birthday on November 18, 2013 (Minnie will too, technically), and Disney Channel will mark the occasion with an all-new animated short, revealed in a press release.

The cartoon, entitled Potatoland, continues the Emmy-winning Mickey Mouse series that launched in June from Walt Disney Television Animation. In honor of Mickey’s special day, Potatoland will boast a seven-minute runtime, twice the length of other shorts in the series.

The new cartoon airs Monday, November 18, at 8 p.m. EST on Disney Channel.

Potatoland is not to be confused with Get a Horse!, a new black-and-white Mickey Mouse short from Walt Disney Animation Studios. It was created with the help of long-lost material from the Disney Archives, and will debut in theaters alongside Frozen on November 27.
