As much as Disney uses Mickey as its main mascot, it really doesn't respect the character. I don't know what movie this is from, but it's likely relatively recent. Yet, student CGI projects in the late 90s were putting out more complex scenes than this.
Looking over the list of releases:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mickey_Mouse_films_and_appearances
Disney has done very little with the character besides shorts, cameos, and home video releases. This is like if Nintendo only used Mario for Smash Bros and a few throwaway mobile app games.
This is from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It is mind-numbingly stupid, makes a vague attempt at being educational, has the cheapest animation I've ever seen in a children's show, and it is basically crack for toddlers.
And has a theme song from They Might Be Giants, which is right at the intersection of a corporate behemoth making the rare right decision and a beloved weirdo niche band selling out in a fairly impressive fashion.
Oh that's just the tip of the iceberg. David Tennant inexplicably has a cameo as a talking door that only has 5 lines. Dick Van Dyke appears in what will almost certainly be one of his last roles. Yet they also put something like this horrifying, cross-eyed elephant onscreen.
