If I remember correctly, the premise is that we're watching the cartoon in a theater, but it opens up and allows us to enter the cartoon. I think it sort of works, at least with the "bring movies to life" theme they're heading toward with DHS.Will the new ride at least take place in Hollywood? will Mickey and Minnie be racing to the theater for some reason?

Goofy is absolutely hideous
The ride Goofy definitely looks more palatable than the one in the actual shorts.From the concept art at the photo op, it looks like that, while they are using the new art style, it is a more toned down version than what some of the new shorts use.
Both Mickey and Minnie are based on the early cartoons. I think this Donald looks fine. I'll give you that Goofy is wacky looking, but when you say "from the early cartoons", do you know what those were? He was a sports loving, cigarette smoking, beer drinking, abusive family man. Nothing like his bland public image today.Agreed. What is wrong with using the true classic characters from the early cartoons? Original Mickey, Goofy, Donalds, and crew. Drop this new stuff.

Despite the art style not being the classic one, these characters are actually interesting and have personality, exactly like they did in those early cartoons. This isn't the Wall Street Mickey.
Give this a watch to see parts of Goofy's past that Disney doesn't want you to know about:
The very very end of this week's new cartoon pays tribute all the Mickey Mouse styles through the decades (in the way that I'd hoped the ride would.) Thought it was pretty interesting:
Is literally the very very end, around 3:20.

Looking at the end of that short, I actually think that that seems like something similar to what was described/shown at the D23 Expo
I think some people are maybe losing sight of what these parks are. They're meant to be family friendly playgrounds for everyone to enjoy. My nephew absolutely loves these shorts, so does my niece (and they are 10 years apart). When we grew up, we had GMR and Universe of Energy, as well as other rides we have seen close. Odes to our education and imagination. It was fantastic to be able to roll through dinosaurs and scenes from our favourite films. Unfortunately, young audiences can't resonate with it as the majority of parents aren't putting their kids in front of Casablanca, Alien, Tarzan, John Wayne like I was or like a lot on this forum probably were. I'm optimistic about MMRR because I think it is genuinely going to be fun. Yeah, it would be great if they used the art style I grew up with. However, I think we have to face they're not going to and just look forward to it.
