Mouse Factory was certainly a bit less insulting to the intelligence, but it doesn't hold up as must-see viewing. (Even its nostalgia value wears off pretty quickly.)
My main beef with the new segments is that I have seen so much better material for very young children, and I'd love to think that Disney could play in this league, but this stuff is clueless and depressing. If Disney was clever enough to repurpose old cartoons and characters in the same way that Cartoon Network used to do (Space Ghost Coast, To Coast, Birdman: Attorney at Law) I would be all for playing around with the stuff from the vault. (Granted, those were aimed at "boomers," but kids loved 'em too.)
