This attraction will hopefully build up interest in the "new" Mickey style for guests unfamiliar
Though Disney's modern Mickey Mouse shorts series has been airing since 2013, this animated series hasn't exactly been all that popular, with many fans criticizing Disney's use of this new version of Mickey Mouse in Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway rather than the more well-known, classic version of this character seen in films like Fantasia and Steamboat Willie.
However, by giving guests a space to actually check out some of the more modern Mickey Mouse shorts (which many Walt Disney World guests probably haven't seen), Disney is supporting Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, which should open shortly after this new entertainment attraction, and could serve as a "primer" of sorts for guests who aren't that familiar with Mickey's newest style.
Though we don't have an opening date for this new attraction yet, Disney will probably provide more details in the new year. For now though this seems like a sensible addition to Disney's Hollywood Studios that will support an upcoming attraction and utilize some previously under-used space in this park, and we can't wait to hear more about the Mickey Theater project in the near future!
